Gaps in Front Teeth: The Best Way To close Gaps for Good
Patients with extra space between two or more teeth are defined by dentists as having spacing issues or “gap teeth.”
Is Invisalign clear aligners effective at fixing and closing gapped teeth? Of course!
Invisalign is highly effective at closing gaps spaced no more than 6mm – those with gaps larger than this may need to use other alternative brace systems or treatments.

Here at the Perfect Smile, our Invisalign dentists and orthodontists recommend close large gaps in the mouth because they create pockets between the teeth and gums, where food can often get stuck.
This can cause tender, sore gums, which often leads to more severe issues like gum and periodontal disease.

Important information about gaps in between teeth
Invisalign is an excellent option if you have spaces or gaps between your teeth.
They can be caused by:
- Gaps because of lost teeth
- Small spaces between teeth naturally
- Spaces created by the movement of teeth
The Invisalign aligner simply moves and repositions teeth powerfully and gradually closing gaps up to 6 mm.
Alternatively, the aligner can be used to create the ideal width of space to allow for an artificial tooth to be placed in the space.
