Can Invisalign reopen spaces for implants?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Without seeing any pics, I can't say without a doubt.  Invisalign can do some amazing things.  Actually, it's the doctor can do some amazing things with Invisalign.  It is totally doctor dependent so I'd advise you to see an orthodontist that is either Elite or Elite 1% and make sure they're an independent office and not part of a chain because Invisalign counts a chain with 50 offices as one doctor.   This makes it appear as if one office is the top Invisalign provider when the doctor in that one office may have only treated 10 total cases.

The first thing I'd do is talk to your doc about your concerns.  I'm not a fan of "6 month smiles" because it's really all marketing as shown by your "9" month smile that you're not happy with.  6 month smiles braces are used by general dentists and not orthodontists.  Normally, it takes a good bit longer to straighten teeth properly which is why orthodontists don't use these type of braces.  Your teeth definitely look better than where they started.  I would approach your doc with a "you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar" approach.  Most docs will want to make you happy at no charge.  That's what I'd do.

I tell my patients to keep on with life if an attachment falls off.  These things can happen every now and again.  I wouldn't anticipate anything major happening.  Don't sweat it.  Point out which teeth are missing attachments and your doctor can evaluate if they'll put them back on or not.  Sometimes I don't add the attachment back on depending on the type of movement I'm doing if the aligners fit well.

Invisalign Teen was designed for situations just like yours.  Invisalign Teen allows you to lose your baby teeth and allows your adult teeth to still come in while you are straightening the rest of your teeth.  I would recommend seeing an orthodontist that is a Premier or higher provider.

Extracting that molar likely won't affect your chances of getting braces. I would recommend having your dentist check the white spot that's near your finger in that picture.

I use Damon braces and do not use molar bands.  It is more on preference of the orthodontist than anything.  I will use a molar band on a gold crown because the glue does not bond very well to it to use a smaller bracket.  If you really do only bite on your very back teeth, then it sounds like orthodontics could benefit you.  Only hitting on your back teeth places too much pressure and force on them.

I'm sorry to hear about this, but this is not the first time I've heard this. I had a patient come to me in a mess two months ago. A general dentist had gotten in way over her head with braces and impacted teeth. They were lead to believe that she was an orthodontist too. If you just got the impressions within the week, there is no way your aligners are made yet which is when the dentist gets charged. I would ask very politely, not aggressively, that you thought he was an orthodontist bc you had scheduled appointments with two other orthodontists. Before the aligners are made you wanted to stop things before the dentist gets charged by Invisalign. They may charge you a records fee for the work performed which is reasonable.

Consider extractions: This will create room to retract your protrusive teeth giving a softer profile.  It "may" accentuate your chin more as well.  Granted, I don't have any idea how your teeth are fitting together nor X-rays, but this might be an alternative to surgery.  

Surgery: This might still involve extractions to reduce protrusion, but it would allow your lower jaw to move forward.  Again, just basing this off photos so don't take it as gospel.

In either scenario I would highly recommend seeing an orthodontist because these are irreversible procedures so you want a specialist.

You have moderate crowding. It's hard to evaluate your bite from those pics though. I'd estimate Invisalign treatment at 12 months. Your upper front teeth appear that they're leaning back too much as well.

It all depends on how your Dr set up your treatment.  For example, I set up my Invisalign movements so that they are changed every week.

I highly recommend Dr Brad Jennings

I can highly recommend Brad. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. I had braces for a few years and Brad did all he could to get the best results. I am very happy how my teeth turned out. He also is a very caring and giving person, and does many things to support his patients and the community.
