Invisalign clear aligners effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic problems without braces, offering a comfortable and aesthetic solution. At Doredent, our Diamond Provider orthodontist Uzm. Dt. Merve Ozkan Akagunduz creates your personalized treatment plan.
Which Orthodontic Problems Can Be Treated with Invisalign?
Many orthodontic problems such as teeth misalignment, bite disorders, and gaps between teeth can be effectively treated with Invisalign clear aligners. Alternatively, braces treatment may also be considered.
At Doredent, every treatment begins with an iTero digital scan. You see your treatment outcome as a 3D simulation before you even start, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Below, you can explore the orthodontic problems we treat with Invisalign, their symptoms, and our treatment approaches in detail.

Learn about each problem in detail, including symptoms and the Invisalign treatment process.
What Is a Deep Bite?
Deep bite — Upper teeth excessively overlapping the lower teeth
A deep bite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth more than normal when the mouth is closed. It can cause chewing difficulty, TMJ disorders, tooth wear, and gum trauma. In advanced cases, worn teeth may require restoration with zirconia crowns.
Invisalign effectively treats deep bite. At Doredent, your bite depth is precisely measured with an iTero digital scan and a personalized treatment plan is created.
What Is an Underbite?
Lower teeth positioned in front of the upper teeth
An underbite occurs when the lower jaw or lower teeth extend beyond the upper jaw. Also known as prognathism or reverse bite, it can cause speech difficulties, chewing problems, and facial asymmetry.
At Doredent, your underbite is thoroughly analyzed with an iTero digital scan and a personalized Invisalign treatment plan is created for you.
What Is a Crossbite?
Crossbite — Upper teeth closing inside the lower teeth
A crossbite occurs when one or more upper teeth close on the inside of the lower teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to asymmetric jaw development, gum recession, and bone loss.
At Doredent, both anterior and posterior crossbite cases are effectively treated with Invisalign through digital orthodontics.
What Is Diastema (Gap Teeth)?
Wider-than-normal gaps between teeth
Diastema refers to wider-than-normal spaces between teeth. It can be caused by genetic factors, tooth-jaw size discrepancy, thick lip frenum, or tongue thrusting habits.
At Doredent, Invisalign gradually closes the gaps between teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional improvement. Mild cases can achieve results in as little as 3 to 6 months. In some patients, porcelain veneers may be used alongside orthodontic treatment for aesthetic refinement.
What Is an Open Bite?
Open bite — Front teeth not touching when the mouth is closed
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed, leaving a visible gap between them. The most common causes include thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing. In children, if these habits are detected early, they can be evaluated within the scope of pediatric dentistry.
At Doredent, open bite treatment is carried out with personalized digital planning. Functional closure of the front teeth is restored and speech issues are corrected.
What Is Dental Crowding?
Crowding — Teeth overlapping or rotated due to lack of space
Crowding occurs when there is not enough space in the jaw, causing teeth to overlap, rotate, or shift positions. It is the most commonly seen orthodontic problem.
Untreated crowding makes dental hygiene difficult and creates a breeding ground for cavities and gum disease. In advanced cases, root canal treatment or tooth extraction may be necessary. At Doredent, Invisalign gradually moves teeth into their ideal positions.
Treatment for Children with Baby and Permanent Teeth
Invisalign First — Early orthodontics for children aged 6 to 10
Invisalign First is a clear aligner system specifically designed for children in the mixed dentition phase. It is used for jaw expansion, teeth alignment, and preserving space for permanent teeth. Treatment is coordinated with our pediatric dentistry specialist.
Early orthodontic treatment guides jaw development correctly, significantly reducing the future need for tooth extraction, surgical intervention, or prolonged braces treatment.
What Is General Misalignment?
From minor irregularities to comprehensive alignment corrections
General misalignment refers to teeth deviating from their ideal alignment. It covers a wide spectrum, from a single slightly rotated tooth to positional issues affecting multiple teeth. Patients who previously had braces treatment but did not use retainers and experienced relapse are also included in this group.
At Doredent, Invisalign treatment plans for everything from minor corrections to comprehensive alignment are prepared digitally. After treatment, aesthetic enhancement with porcelain veneers or zirconia crowns may also be considered.
