I want to get invisalign. I have a dental implant on my fourth tooth (counting back from my front one as well as including it in the number). I have straight teeth except for an overbite. I had braces as a child for my overbite, then I lost my retainer for years. It is back. No where near as large as when I was young. None the less I would really like it fixed but I dont know if it is possible with my implant being so close to the front teeth.
