Do I have root resorption and can I do Invisalign? (Photo)

Question

I want to get Invisalign done but apparently if I have root resorption from previous braces I can’t get it done because it could cause my teeth to become damaged or fall out? Is this the case?

Jefferson T. Twomley, DDS, MSD · Answer

I don't see root resorption here in the x-ray provided. If a full exam revealed no issues, I would consider you a candidate for aligners. Your previous treatment is irrelevant.It is true that root resorption can cause problems, so an orthodontist must be very vigilant with a patient with this problem, examining bone levels and gum tissue health before moving forward and throughout the course of treatment. But treatment still is on the table.
