How Long After a Deep Scaling Will Invisalign Molds Be Made?

Question

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD · Answer

It takes 4-6 weeks to have Invisalign aligners made after impressions, so if impressions were taken after your periodontal treatment, that is a decent ballpark guess.  If impressions weren't made, then ask your dentist when you will be ready.

Shervin Abbaszadeh, DDS · Answer

If you've had a deep scaling, you need to ask your dentist or Periodontist (gum specialist) about the status of your gum health.  They may recommend a 're-evaluation' following the deep cleaning.  It is best to get the OK from the dentist or the periodontist prior to starting orthodontic treatment when there are potential gum health related issues.  

	Make sure you seek the advise of a specialist in orthodontics prior to starting with you Invisalign.

Jay Neuhaus, DDS · Answer

Ask this question to your dentist! All depends on how your periodontal situation improved.
