Can I Get Invisalign if I Have TMJ or TMD Problems?

tinrebel
I am almost ready to go ahead and start using Invisalign. The only thing stopping me is my issue with TMJ/TMD. Am I still a good candidate for Invisalign? My Orthodonist says it should be no problem but I have had problems in the past with different appliances (expander?)that have locked my jaw and stopped me from proceeding to braces. I don't want to find out many trays into treatment and lots of money lost that again I can't do something. I almost ready just to do veneers, I just hate filing down good teeth. I have several teeth on top/front that are crooked. I just can't decide what to do. If I knew I'd have no problems I would proceed with the Invisalign ASAP!!
