Am I A Candidate For Invisalign? I Have A Missing Tooth and a Dental Flipper.

October 9, 2011
Asked By:Polkadots in Iowa

I have a dental flipper that I wear due to my canine (eye tooth) not coming down. I had to have both of my (baby)canines removed when I was in High School due to the teeth not coming in. One of the teeth came down and the other did not. I would love to have invisalign instead of traditional braces, but I am unsure if that will work due to the 'missing' tooth. Is there a way to do invisalign and be able to pull the other tooth down? What are other options? Thank you!
