I am missing one molar, I had it pulled instead of doing a root canal, I regret it now. But I want to get invisalign and don't know if I have to get an implant or bridge or something there first? I was told when I needed braces that i would need to do that first. What are the "pre op" procedures for invisalign? Thank you!

Answer: Invisalign first, then restore molar It is best to do Invisalign first and then restore the missing molar. You may need to use some of the space from the missing molar to relieve your crowding and thus waiting until your teeth are straight and in a good bite is best. Before restoring the missing molar, it is important that the teeth and roots adjacent to the missing molar are parallel and invisalign can help with this as well.

Answer: Restoring molar before Invisalign Good news! You can wait to replace that molar until after you are done with Invisalign. As a matter of fact, it might be better to align teeth into the proper place, and then replace your molar. Hope this helps.
