Can I get Invisalign when my front teeth all have fillings? (Photo)

Question

I’ve always had crooked teeth especially my Front tops, now wanting to straighten them and I am eligible, but I have fillings in every tooth in my Front top teeth (in between each tooth) will these pop them out? Would it be more hassle to straighten them after I got all this work done?

Jeffrey Schoenberg, DDS · Answer

Invisalign should typically work regardless of the presence of fillings on anterior teeth, and it shouldn't usually affect intact fillings. However, if these fillings are defective, or they splint the teeth together (such as with a fixed retainer) then this is a contraindication. If your general dentist has not seen any ongoing dental issues and clears you for invisalign / orthodontic treatment, I can't see any reason not to proceed based on the presence of these fillings.

As long as your regular dentist says that your composite fillings are intact, there should be no issue doing Invisalign.

Great question! Yes, Invisalign can still be done even with dental fillings in most cases. I'd highly recommend making an appointment with an orthodontist to see if you're a good candidate to have your smile and bite improved with clear aligners. Most orthodontists offer free consultations. Best of luck!

no need to worry, invisalign treatment will not affect your existing fillings. infect as you said you have filling in teeth , so best option in yr case is invisalign, its easy for you to clear and maintain good oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment with invisalign.
