Invisalign clear aligners offer patients a way to straighten their teeth without dealing with the appearance and discomfort of traditional orthodontics. Teeth can often become misaligned years after receiving braces, and those with dental crowns or other restorations can also have misaligned teeth. So, is Invisalign in Denton an option for these patients? Keep reading to learn the answer.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What If My Teeth Have Shifted After Receiving Braces?<\/h2>\n<p>Many people receive braces in Denton at a young age, and find that later in life, their teeth have shifted. Invisalign can correct mild to moderate misalignment, which typically fits most patients that have already received traditional orthodontics. That makes Invisalign a great option to correct misaligned smiles in a clear, comfortable, and confident way. In fact, many people choose Invisalign over traditional braces to correct their smile later on because they remember feeling self-conscious with metal in their mouth previously.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Switch to Invisalign If I\u2019m Currently Wearing Braces?<\/h2>\n<p>It depends! It\u2019s possible to switch from braces to clear aligners, but it will depend on your smile. Invisalign cannot treat severe over, under, and crossbite problems, which is why traditional braces are still popular today. However, many patients start with braces until they\u2019re able to receive Invisalign. That way, they can correct their bite problems, but they can also switch to a more aesthetically appealing solution for the remainder of their treatment. However, the only way to know if this is possible is to schedule a consultation with your dentist or orthodontist.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Get Invisalign If I Have Veneers or Crowns?<\/h2>\n<p>It is possible to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/orthodontics-and-invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> after previous dental work, but it will all depend on your smile. For example, patients with veneers or crowns may be able to use Invisalign. However, Invisalign works by shifting each tooth individually, which is why patients with dental bridges are typically not candidates for clear braces. The best way to know is to visit your dentist. They will carefully examine your smile before making the proper recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to advances in dentistry, Invisalign is able to help more and more patients get the straight smiles they desire. Contact your dentist today if you\u2019re ready to get started!<\/p>\n<h2>Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Ted Dunson II is a native Texan who loves caring for patients in his community.
