Can I Get Invisalign Online Without Seeing a Dentist?

Question

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD · Answer

As the saying goes, "He who operates on himself has a fool for a doctor," applies here.  Too many things can go wrong, too many requirements for a successful outcome.  Periodontal health needs to be assessed, progress needs to be monitored, changes in treatment need to be overseen.
It is not a Ronco&reg; rotisserie machine, where you "set it, and forget it."

You should never get Invisalign treatment without seeing a dentist. The program is set up by a technician that does not have a dental license. If your case is not followed by a dentist, many issues may arise.

Hi, is there  a reason that you want invisalign treatment without seeing the dentist. It is just one of the types of treatment but you do still need dentist to decide everything for you. I would never recommend any form of treatment without professional help. Its ok when things go right, but when they go wrong they can horribly go wrong. So , please be careful.

NO. Invisalign is only a tool. The key to sucess is the orthodontist prescribing the movements of teeth and the sequence of these movements within an overall plan for your bite. While a considerable portion of your fee is for the cost of producing the trays what you should be paying for is the expertise of the provider, the cost of training and staying current with advances in Invisalign use such as attending thebiannual summit and regional forums.

Jennifer Jablow, DDS · Answer

Dentists go through extensive training to be able to provide Invisalign. One cannot self treat for orthodontics. There are many factors that are involved with being a suitable candidate for Invisalign.
