Invisalign works great with crowns. Sometimes we have to attach some small clear attachments to the teeth and with advances in material sciences, bonding to ceramic (porcelain) is very easy and effective.
Debb, thanks for your great question. Crowns are NOT a contraindication for Invisalign.I have done many cases, where patients had crowns. All those cases worked out great.Good luck to you.
Yes. You can get Invisalign if you havecrowns. Teeth with crowns are able to be moved as well as teeth without crowns.
Invisalign will absolutely work with crowns, with the added benefit that you may not need to bond anything to the crowns which can damage the finish and may be an issue for crowns on the front teeth.
Hello, Invisalign will still work even if you have crowns on your teeth. It actually might even be a better option (as opposed to regular braces), because the crowns can be damaged in the braces removal process, whereas Invisalign does not require removing anything from the teeth. The only limitation with having crowns during Invisalign treatment is the placement of attachments (which are small buttons glued onto the tooth to aid in certain tooth movements). We usually avoid placing attachments on teeth that are crowned, because the bonding agent does not work as well with porcelain as it does with real tooth structure. If a tooth that has a crown requires an attachment, there is a special bonding agent meant to work with porcelain, so it can still be done.
Absolutely! AS LONG AS THE CROWNS ARE NOT ATTACHED TO ONEANOTHER, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE INDEPENDENTLY, JUST LIKE YOUR NATURAL TEETH.
Orthodontics of any kind can work when teeth are crowned, but the advantage with Invisalign is that we likely don't need to worry about a bracket "debonding" from the crown. Invisalign may work very well in this case.
Thank you for a great question. It usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on the difficulty of the case. Often even less. Whatever time it takes , please understand that we are designing your case to get the best possible results AND it takes time.
Generally, this should not be a problem. Facelifts affect the surface of the face whereas orthodontic work involves the the teeth and bone structure. If your work closely involves the area around your mouth, you may have issues with opening your mouth wide comfortably or wide enough;...
Most dentists have a fee range for all of their more complex treatments (Invisalign, veneers, conventional orthodontics, migraine treatment, etc) depending on difficulty of the case, amount of chair time and number of appointments to complete treatment, lab cost, cost of materials, just to name...
