Can I get Invisalign with caps on my two front teeth?

Question

I got in a bad rollerblading accident when i was young and chipped my two front teeth. Now i have caps on my two front teeth, which i eventually want replaced as well. Im just wondering if Invisalign is still an option for me?

Hi, thanks for sending your question. I am sorry to hear about your accident. You will be glad to know that Invisalign can work despite the crowns on your front teeth. Once you have completed your treatment you have the option of replacing the crowns like you wanted. We can choose more esthetic material to match your crowns to your other teeth and improve your smile per your liking. All the best.

One challenge with traditional braces is bonding brackets to porcelain restorations.  While it IS possible, the bond is not as predictable as bonding to enamel.  This makes Invisalign ideal for treatment when patients have porcelain crowns or caps.  The tipping forces are the same, whether the tooth has crowns or not.
