Is Invisalign Safe for a Crowned Tooth with Root Canal?

November 22, 2009
Asked By:autumn728 in Illinois

I had a root canal performed on my front tooth 10 years ago. In my Clincheck for Invisalign, I saw that this is the tooth that will be moving up a good amount. Will the underlying tooth be safe with the pressure that will be placed on this tooth to move it forward? I really want to be careful so this tooth does not crack.
