Wore retainer from 7-10 yrs. In 40's now. Started wearing gaurd for night grinding last yr. Realized teeth shifted as result. Several front top & bottom hit. 50% of time when they don't I have an underbite. As a Owner cannot have a lisp, or app issue caused by braces, or time off per surgery. Will Invisalign, or other remedy the recent shifting & survive night grinding? Cosmetically underbite doesn't bother. Don't want teeth damaging each other & want to bite comfortably again. Made Ortho appt.

Most likely, if you are an Invisalign candidate, the aligners will replace your partial during the treatment, and manage the space as well. Then, if you can afford the Invisalign, for a few bucks more why not get an implant and replace the missing tooth properly?
If you are 100% happy with your final result, then it is normal procedure to order your vivera retainers from this aligner, without either new impressions or scans
