How Invisalign Corrects Upper Teeth Crowding

At Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls, we know that upper teeth crowding can be more than just a cosmetic concern. Crowded upper teeth often lead to oral hygiene challenges, uneven wear, and even discomfort while eating or speaking. If you’re dealing with this issue, there’s great news: Invisalign provides a modern, effective, and nearly invisible solution tailored for those who want a straighter smile without the hassles of traditional metal wires.

As a Platinum Invisalign Provider and winner of multiple awards, including Idaho’s BEST OF 2025 STATEWIDE WINNER and The Best of Magic Valley Readers’ Choice 2024, Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls has a trusted track record of successful transformations. In this article, we’ll explore how Invisalign can be used to align crowded upper teeth, with insight from Dr. Brian Rencher, a nationally recognized leader in clear aligner therapy and one of fewer than 100 professionals worldwide inducted as a Fellow in the American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA).

What Is Upper Teeth Crowding?

Upper teeth crowding occurs when there’s not enough space in your upper dental arch to accommodate all your teeth. This leads to overlapping, twisting, or misaligned teeth. At the same time, it might seem like a minor inconvenience, tight spacing can make flossing nearly impossible and increase your risk for plaque buildup, gum disease, and even cavities.

The Clear Solution: Invisalign

Unlike older approaches, Invisalign uses a series of customized, clear aligner trays to reposition teeth gradually. This technology is particularly beneficial for upper crowding, as it allows controlled, predictable movement without bulky hardware.

Why Invisalign Is Ideal for Upper Crowding

1. Precision and Control

Thanks to advanced 3D imaging, Dr. Brian Rencher crafts a treatment plan with precise control over each tooth’s movement. These aligners are made to fit snugly over your upper teeth, applying consistent pressure that guides them into proper alignment.

2. Fast and Efficient Treatment

At Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls, we go beyond industry standards by changing Invisalign trays every four days rather than the usual one to two weeks. This accelerated method, pioneered under the mentorship of Dr. Rencher and Dr. Galler’s patented clear aligner approach, helps patients see results in as little as 6–9 months.

3. Eat With Aligners In

Our patients are encouraged to keep their aligners in – even while eating. This method is part of a specialized protocol refined through Dr. Rencher’s collaborative advancements with Dr. Galler. This helps reduce compliance issues and improves overall treatment efficiency.

Virtual Checkups for Busy Lives

Time is precious. That’s why we’re one of the few clinics in Idaho offering virtual check-ins through the Invisalign app. With a simple selfie, you can submit your progress from anywhere. Our team will review your scans and send you a message – either a thumbs-up to keep going or a request to stop in for a quick evaluation. It’s convenience without compromise.

Clear Over Permanent

While permanent retainers are available, we generally recommend clear retainers. They’re more hygienic, easier to maintain, and provide great long-term results without the drawbacks of metal bonding.

Not All Clear Aligner Providers Are the Same

Dr. Brian Rencher’s dedication to excellence has earned him elite status as a Platinum Invisalign Provider. With years of experience and hundreds of successful cases under his belt, he’s deeply committed to staying ahead in the science of clear aligners.
