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. As you can see, the results speak for themselves, and it’s why we love what we do. Check out our Before and After page for some examples.

Very nice staff. Appointments are easily scheduled. i’ve had 3 children as patients, vet happy with the results
Julie L.
Our family has had great treatment from VanLaecken. We are on our 4th child getting braces soon, along with fixing overbite. The doctors listen and take time with patients and parents. All of the staff is professional and caring. We are glad to have such great care in Watertown!
Grace 1.
Great place for orthodontics! Great and friendly staff, quick and efficient, and answers your questions and concerns!
Michele P.
I receive orthodontic care at the Aberdeen clinic. Every single team member that I have interacted with over the past 2+ years has always treated me with respect and kindness. The team does their very best to accommodate the needs of each patient that walks through their doors. Dr. Ryan is friendly, knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to any concerns that I might have. My daughter has also received services with this team. She had a very positive experience as well. I have nothing but praise for the Van Laecken team.
Kirsten G.
Great staff, very friendly. High level of care for their patients. My oldest daughter has had a great experience throughout her Ortho journey and I will be happy to have my 2 other children come to Vanlaecken for their journey if needed.
Alexandra M.
The doctors and staff are so kind.The appointment are quick and easy to schedule. Definitely recommend!
lussi N.
I was denied braces since I was a child. Being told by multiple different places that I needed all types of procedures ( and I did them all) just to still be denied. I have always been insecure about my smile. I remember coming here and thinking they are going to deny me ( cause I originally wanted another treatment) or tell me to get more procedures. I am 22 and have been fighting for my smile for 12 years. My first appointment was a screening. My second - I got my braces. My life has been changed and my Smile now exceeds the one I dreamt of. I couldn’t imagine a better team taking care of me. Thank you.
Kelsey F.
We've had a great experience with VanLaecken Ortho so far. Everyone we've worked with has been so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They're very timely and organized, and appointments have gone smoothly, excited to see the final results and bring our other kids here, too!
Stacy P.
We started braces 4 months ago and it has been such a smooth process. The staff have been amazing. They are great with explaining what they are doing and why at each appointment. We have seen so much happen in the 4 months we have started and can't wait to see the end results.
Clark A.
Wonderful, caring team of professionals who worked extra hard to get the insurance coverage for our son’s braces. Can’t say enough about how wonderful these people are!
Jonathan W.
Very thorough care, halfway though a program with my son. Great communications, informative.
Brittany A.
The care and kindness we receive here has been nothing, but great! The gained confidence in my daughters smile is the icing on the cake. 💜 highly recommend.
Zeljana K.
Love this place! I love how friendly and supportive the whole team is. They genuinely care about their patients and go the extra mile to make each visit a positive experience.
I’m so happy with my results and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high-quality orthodontic care!
Sara S.
The whole team at VanLaecken has been so amazing to work with. Starting with our initial consultation which answered all of our questions, to being able to call and get assistance after hours to help with a loose wire, squeezing us in when we something comes up and making sure my child is comfortable during every step of the process. The hygienists are so friendly and the Docs are the best of the best. It’s only been a few months but the results on my child so far have been astonishing. 1000/10 would recommend VanLaecken ortho for anyone who is considering orthodontic care.

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.
