What’s stopping you from straightening your teeth with Invisalign? Your Stockton, CA, dentist, Dr. Rujul Parikh of Nu Smile Dental, can let you know if you’re a perfect candidate for this treatment.
Your Dental Issues
Invisalign is effective at straightening out crooked teeth and fixing teeth alignment issues. Its effectiveness has improved in recent years. Therefore some cases that Invisalign couldn’t fix several years ago are now within its scope. However, traditional braces or advanced orthodontic procedures are still the best options for severe dental defects.
Before you give up on getting Invisalign clear aligners to straighten your teeth, let your Stockton, CA, dentist, Dr. Parikh, assess the severity of your bite problems. We’ll let you know after an assessment if getting Invisalign is right for you.
Your Commitment
To get results from Invisalign, you must be committed to making it work. Just because it’s easy to take off your clear aligners doesn’t mean that you should take them off frequently.
You will need to wear your Invisalign aligners for about 22 hours each day for them to be effective. However, you can take off your clear aligners to clean your teeth. This makes maintaining your oral hygiene much easier with Invisalign than with traditional braces. You can also take them off to eat but they should be back on soon after.
Your Age
You’re not too old for Invisalign because there’s no age limit.
Older teenagers can get Invisalign for their dental concerns. You can get the special teen-friendly trays at Nu Smile Dental that have eruption tabs. These tabs have room for your molars to grow to full size.
If you’re younger, your dentist might suggest waiting till you get all your permanent teeth before beginning your journey to aligned teeth with Invisalign.
Tooth Restoration
If you’ve had work done on your teeth before, it could complicate using Invisalign to fix your teeth.
Your teeth under veneers and dental crowns can be shifted using Invisalign. However, you can’t move dental implants with clear aligners.
Your dentist may suggest moving your other teeth around the implant.
