Asked By:vivian311 in New York, NY

Had dental implant placed on tooth #10 in oct (no healing cap/crown yet). Considering Invisalign due to teeth shifting. went to 2 orthodontists, one told me he would have to widen both upper/lower dental arch to create space and recommend crown placement after Invisalign. second orthodontist told me the only option for me is IPR to create space due to implant placement (0.3 mm from 2-3 teeth on bottom). I was wondering who should I go with?
