Is it possible for me to switch Invisalign providers without telling my orthodontist? (Photo)

Question

My dentist had been giving me the run around for 1 year now. He didn't even show me the clincheck. I'm really fed up with him and no longer wants his services. Can I go to a new dentist to resume my case. Could they find my case by a serial number ?

Arianna Papasikos, DMD, MBA · Answer

yes, you can transfer your case, but I would recommend seeking treatment from another orthodontic specialist, not a general dentist. Orthodontists go to extra years of school to learn every detail on how to move and position teeth.  If you are seeing a general dentist and he/she is struggling with your case because it is challenging, it may be wise to seek treatment from an orthodontist because they have a lot of experience treating the most difficult cases.

Your old doctor will have to sign off on the transfer, so starting a brand-new case may also be an easier option to consider.

Mark Edington, DDS · Answer

You are free to move on to another provider.  Your case can  easily be transferred to a new office.  The new office will request a case transfer from your current provider.  You will not end your financial obligation to your current provider and will incur additional fees with the new provider.
