This is a common question we’re asked by dentists: I have gaps in my teeth, will clear aligners be suitable for me? In this video, we explain how dentists should think about this in practice.

If you have gaps in your teeth and you’re wondering if clear aligners will be suitable for you, the short answer is yes. In fact, closing space is a much easier movement than creating or expanding space.

If you do have gaps between your teeth, clear aligners are almost certainly viable for you, depending on how extreme the case is.
