Will Face Lift Before Invisalign Have an Effect on the Impressions?
I am planning on having a Face Lift and I am also doing Invisaligns. I am scheduled to get my impressions before I have the lift. Will the surgery change anything as far as the impressions are concerned? Should I wait until after the surgery to have the impressions done? Thank you.

Invisalign and Facelift
Invisalign is an orthodontic device to straighten the teeth. Invisalign before surgery should not affect your facelift, but may slightly affect your appearance, especially if you have prominence of the upper teeth and they create an impression on your lip. This may in fact guide your surgeon to change his artistic recommendations.
You should advise your surgeon of your intention to get Invisalign, so that he can tailor his procedure to accommodate for the anticipated result.

Facelift and Invisalign
Facelift will NOT affect your dental impressions for your Invisalign treatment, which will be based on tooth and dental arch realignment, not the cheek contours.

Invisalign affecting a facelift
This is an interesting question. It is good that you are doing the impressions prior to your facelift. You should not open your mouth as wide as possible post operatively. The teeth will not be affected by the facelift at all. It sounds like you will have a beautiful smile and a younger face. Best of luck to you!!!

Facelift should not interfere with Invisalign
I would not think there should be any reason your pre-facelift impressions wouldn't work perfectly well for Invisalign after surgery. A well done facelift shouldn't really change your mouth to any significant degree.

A face lift should not any negative effects on Invisalign or vise versa
Invisalign solely effects the dental complex, and should therefore have no bearing on a face lift.
Impressions for Invisalign can be done before or after the surgery.

Facelift and Invisalign
Facelift and invisalign will have little impact on each other. Keep in mind, wide mouth opening should be kept to a minimum immediately post facelift.

Invisalign ok following facelift
I would not expect any problem with this orthodontic procedure after a facelift. I would recommend waiting for 2 weeks - that's when there is good tensile strength of your incisions so that they are not longer a worry. In addition, your swelling and bruising will be minimal at that point and you'll be more comfortable going out to the orthodontic office. Opening your mouth will not be a problem at the two week mark. So, go for it and good luck!

No relation between Invisalign and Face lift
Just wait 5-7 days after surgery to allow your muscles to relax so you can open your mouth fully. Otherwise, your good to go!

Invisalign Following Facelift Surgery
I wouldn't be concerned about having Invisalign done following facelift surgery. The facelift procedure should not affect the bony anatomy at all in terms of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw).

Facelift will not affect bony structures
Face Lifts primarily affect the soft tissues of the face and head and neck but do not usually affect the bony or dental structures. You should not be concerned about having a Face Lift performed either before or after Invisalign treatement or treatment planning.

A facelift will not affect Invisalign impressions
A facelift will not effect your invisalign impressions. However, your orthodontia can affect your facelift results if you are undergoing movement of the jaws with a osteotmy type procedure. Most patients who are undergoing Invisalign will unlikely be undergoing a jaw moving procedure like this.

Invisalign and Facelift
For a true "facelift", i.e. tightening of the jowls, neck, and jawline, there should be no change in the impressions used for either braces (invisalign) or veneers (lumineers). That being said, all facelift procedures are not created equal, so if there is a portion of the procedure that involves the peri-oral area (around the mouth) there may be subtle changes, (such as lip enhancement) that might affect the way the new teeth are seen. However, since most facelifts involve soft...

Face Lift has no effect on Invisalign or Impression
The face lift has no effect on invisalign , ortho treatment or the tooth alignmet. But when you are done with the ortho treatment all your face muscles, tongue and the forces from the teeth pressuer should be in a balanced position to maintain the teeth straight and aligned.

Face Lift has no effect on impressions
A face lift won't affect the orthondics, however the orthodontics may affect the face!
The impressions are of the teeth which are in bone. This will not be at all affected by the face lift. However, as the teeth move, it will change the relationship of the jaws. The change in the jaw relatinship will frequently produce visible changes in the face.

Invisaligns and facelift
A facelift does not affect anything in your mouth unless a "gum" incision is used for a deep facelift. This as well should not impact your teeth in any way.
