Invisalign before or after dental crown? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I have an implant placed on tooth#30 a month ago, and I want to get invisalign soon as my upper front teeth is over jet and my bottom teeth is overcrowded. Should I get my dental crown before or after Invisalign? What other options would you advice?

Vicki Borowski, DDS · Answer

It is better to get Invisalign first and then place the crown after treatment is completed. I suggest going for an orthodontic consultation.

Benjamin J. Taylor, DMD · Answer

Hello! There are pros and cons to doing either one first and there is not really a right or wrong way to proceed as both options would have a good result. However, if I were treating this case I would prefer you have the invisalign treatment done first. The reason is once a crown is placed it would limit where the teeth can be moved. Also, the space you have there could be utilized to alleviate some of your crowding and still leave room for your implant crown. Hope this helps out and good luck!
