Pros and cons of wearing an Invisalign retainer while waiting for dental implants?

Question

Charles Briscoe, DDS · Answer

Assuming the case finished well with Invisalign, then holding the teeth in that position while awaiting implant placement, healing and/ or restoration, is crucial. All your time, money, and effort that went into the completion of Invisalign would be compromised if you stopped wearing the aligners prior to the completion of the implant phase.

Sid Molayem, DDS · Answer

If you are wearing Invisalign aligners to get an implant you need to wear them until the implant is done otherwise you may not have enough space or too much space for the placement of that teeth.

Jennifer S. Stachel, DMD · Answer

Dear trishmc,If you are wearing the Invisalign aligners to maintain space or make space for the implant and crown restorations, it is very important that you follow your Invisalign treating doctor's instructions. You wouldn't want to delay the placement of the implants and crowns. Best,Dr. Jenn
