Can Invisalign Fix My Gapped Teeth?
VanLaecken Orthodontics
March 23, 2021

Are you wondering, “Can Invisalign fix my gapped teeth?” In short, the answer is very likely a resounding, “Yes!” However, we won’t know for sure unless we’ve examined your particular teeth. That way, we can find out a path that’s right for you and your smile.

Gapped teeth, also known as diastema, refers to spaces between the teeth. Both kids and adults can have a diastema. While the gap may look unattractive, a more significant concern is that gap teeth can cause serious health issues.

Spaces between teeth can lead to tooth decay and sore gums. In some cases, it can occur as a result of gum disease, and the doctor will need to treat the infection first. Nevertheless, there a wide range of options to treat gap teeth.

Invisalign aligners could be a great solution with results you will enjoy for a lifetime.

Why Choose Invisalign?

If we determine that Invisalign is the best option for you, then you’ll be one of the millions that have perfected their smiles using the patented clear plastic aligners.

There are so many benefits. Here are a few:

  • Faster treatment times
  • Personalized custom-fit
  • Affordable payment options
  • Comfortable and easy-to-use
  • Fewer visits to the orthodontist
  • Visualize your smile before you begin
  • People may not know you wear Invisalign
  • No metal wire means no abrasions to your mouth
  • Take out the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss

The Proof Is in the Smiles

You don’t have to wait any longer to get the smile you’ve always wanted. We’ve created amazing results and watched as patients went from shy to confident and beaming with radiant smiles.

patient TESTIMONIALS

Megan
My daughter said all the staff were nice, kind, and gentle with her teeth and they did an excellent job!
Tara H.
Was so easy to get started. Take a few pictures, they emailed back. We were able to make monthly payments. We had put braces on my oldest daughter for a huge chunk of change, somewhere else. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter ended up on the other side of the state and wanted braces that at VanLaecken their prices were half than what we paid in the past. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating around her college schedule. We are so in love with her beautiful smile.
Remi H.
Everyone is so nice and welcoming here! I really do feel comfortable and safe. Thank you for everything!
Alyssa K.
Not only did Dr Ryan fix my massive overbite and teeth to look perfect, he also helped both my sisters. Now we are bringing our daughter to VanLaecken to fix her teeth. Have always had such fantastic and friendly care while visiting, and always leave with my questions and concerns answered and listened to. Highly highly recommended anyone looking into orthodontic work to come see them!
MyLee R.
Cannot say enough good about them through my daughter’s process! All of the hygienists are so kind and patient! As is Dr Ryan. He went above and beyond for my family. Thank you!
Trista G.
We have had great experiences at this orthodontist location! Friendly staff. Not only do they do quality work, I greatly appreciate their efficiency and not having to wait in the waiting room a long time after check-in. Pam at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. The only thing that would be better is if they had a mobile unit to travel around! Sometimes it stinks driving so far for a 10 minute appointment but that’s our choice to live in small town. 😊
Renae F.
I'm very happy with experience we have been having at VanLaecken Orthodontics in Aberdeen. Very punctual, kind, answered all our questions and listened to any concerns we had.
Bobbi B.
My daughter had a great experience at Van Laecken Orthodontics. Every employee does their best to make sure you have the best experience possible. They have great service and they take time to explain every step to you. Thank you!
Rodney H.
The atmosphere is wonderful and friendly, not snobbish or cold. Questions are answered clearly and results are amazing! The staff is fun and informative!
Amanda E.
Very happy with the service we have received at VanLaecken Orthodontics! They are upfront with their pricing, quick at appointments, and friendly! I especially like the appointments they have for kids who are not quite ready for braces, we come in periodically for check ups with no cost and don't feel pressured to start care until fully needed. Highly recommend this office!
Brittany P.
VanLaecken Orthodontics gave my daughters a confident smile and more of a reason to smile!! We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome!
Camden L.
This is the best place to get braces, with their help my smile is 1000 times better
brandon S.
I have not had a bad encounter with VanLaecken staff. They are very welcoming and encouraging. My experience with Invisalign with them has been straightforward, and easy. I’m thankful for them, and recommend them to everyone who needs a straighter smile!
Kasey S.
I can’t say enough good things about VanLaecken Orthodontics. Even coming from someone in the dental field, the level of care here truly stands out. Dr. Ryan has taken care of my kids for years and now is treating me as well. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns, explain options, and make sure I feel comfortable with every step of the process. The entire team is kind, professional, and so great with families. I wouldn’t trust our smiles to anyone else!
Missy R.
They are the best!! Staff is always friendly and remember things about what you enjoy to do. Makes you feel so appreciated. 5 ⭐️

Understanding Gapped Teeth and Their Impact

Gapped teeth, or diastema, can be more than just a cosmetic concern. While many people may feel self-conscious about the appearance of gaps in their smiles, these spaces can also lead to various dental health issues. For instance, gaps can trap food particles and plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Additionally, they can affect the alignment of your bite, leading to discomfort and further dental complications down the line.

Addressing gapped teeth is essential not only for aesthetic reasons but also for maintaining overall oral health. By consulting with a qualified orthodontist, you can explore the best treatment options available, including Invisalign, which is designed to gently shift your teeth into their proper positions. This proactive approach can help prevent more serious dental issues in the future, ensuring that your smile remains both beautiful and healthy.
