Can Invisalign Be Used on the Top Teeth While There is a Permanent Wire Retainer on the Bottom? (photo)

November 11, 2012
Asked By:KimberlyDirkes in Cincinnati

Like many, I failed to wear my retainer after braces. As a result, my top teeth have become crowded again. Can Invisalign treat the top, or would I need to have the bottom retainer removed and treat both top and bottom? I don't have any bite problems as of now, and the problem with my top teeth is mainly cosmetic.
