Can I get a sliding genioplasty with Invisalign?

Question

Wondering if it’s possible to get a sliding genioplasty while in the middle of Invisalign. The Invisalign is just straightening a few teeth, not moving the jaw in any way.

Timothy Osborn, MD · Answer

Absolutely. A genioplasty does not affect your bite, although due to swelling and for comfort, you might consider leaving the trays out for a few days, as they may be harder to get back in when swelling is at its peak. Some people may not have any issues getting them in or out, so it depends on the individual. But you can definitely have a genioplasty during your Invisalign treatment.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

The position of the lower teeth in the jawbone, whether undergoing braces or Invisilign , has no impact on whether one can have a sliding genioplasty either before, during or after such orthodontic therapies.
