Invisalign and wire retainer with fake tooth?
I am missing a tooth right next to my front tooth and this has caused a lot of spacing. My dentist said that once Invisalign moves my teeth, I will have a space there where they will put the implant, but until then, they would attach a fake tooth to the Invisilign tray so that it wouldn't be noticeable with the tray in. But I am nervous because I will have to take the tray out to eat and drink. Is there a wire retainer that can have a fake tooth attached to it that could be left in often?
