Like many people, you may want to try Invisalign. After all, its aligners<\/a> can straighten teeth discretely and effectively! That said, perhaps you fear it doesn\u2019t work with dental prosthetics. Maybe your crown would get in the way, or the trays would dislodge your veneers. Well, the truth is that Invisalign is compatible with such dental add-ons. To prove it, your local orthodontist is here to explain things. Read on, then, to learn how Invisalign can work with crowns, bridges, and even veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some Context: What\u2019s Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t already know, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that aligns your teeth and jaws. Unlike metal braces, though, it uses sets of clear aligners instead of brackets and wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign trays work by relying on so-called \u201cmicro-movements.\u201d Namely, they slowly shift your teeth into place by putting pressure on them. The aligners thus give you a straight smile after roughly a year or so. That said, the process only works if you wear each set of trays for 20-22 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does it Affect Dental Prosthetics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While every case is different, Invisalign does work for those with crowns, bridges, or veneers. Still, you might face a few special circumstances. As such, consider the treatment factors listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign & Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ordinarily, dental crowns shouldn\u2019t interfere with Invisalign. The latter\u2019s trays are removable, meaning they don\u2019t stick to teeth with an invasive adhesive. Plus, aligners can be custom-made to fit over your particular teeth and dental crown. The process is straightforward and won\u2019t delay things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, however, that trays aren\u2019t suitable for severe alignment problems. You may be forced to use fixed braces instead. If so, a workaround for your crown would be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign & Bridges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Often enough, Invisalign and dental bridges get along fine. The latter prosthetics are fixed, so aligners wouldn\u2019t move them during treatment. In contrast, the trays will continue to shift surrounding teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a bridge can interfere with tooth movement. Your dentist may also conclude that the restoration would shorten the necessary shifts. Should these things happen, your bridge may have to be cut to make space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign & Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In general, dentists are hesitant to use Invisalign on veneered teeth. The process carries some risk, as veneers would look different (or less attractive) after the tooth movements. Even so, it\u2019s doable \u2013 the trays shouldn\u2019t dislodge your porcelain (or ceramic) shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t like your veneers after orthodontic work, don\u2019t panic; you can always replace them. Just keep in mind that replacement would add to your expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Invisalign can help even when you have dental prosthetics. Therefore, consider booking a treatment with your orthodontist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
