Invisalign® & Cosmetic

Can Invisalign® be used during/after other Cosmetic dentistry work has been done?

A simple answer to this question is Yes! Many people are now turning to Invisalign® to avoid the embarrassment of having to wear metal gadgets inside their mouth. After all, no one wants to be called "metal mouth". With Invisalign® you can now correct your teeth without letting anyone know about it - the secret is just between you, us, and Invisalign®.
Invisalign® uses three dimensional imaging technologies along with a range of custom-fitted aligners which help correct the teeth gradually over a period of 9-18 months. However, the question that many people bring up as they hear about Invisalign® is whether they can use it if they have already gone through some other cosmetic dentistry work, or in conjunction with cosmetic treatment that is planned. Most cosmetic dentists would prefer to straighten teeth as part of a comprehensive cosmetic treatment plan. Therefore, use of Invisalign® in conjunction with whitening or veneers is common.

A large number of the people who turn to Invisalign® are those who have worn braces unsuccessfully. Others used braces and then stopped using them either because they were too painful or they just couldn't go out with metal wires in their mouth. In other cases, braces wearers didn't follow the treatment or the dentist's instructions to wear their retainer each night, so a short time after the braces came off they had problems again. Surprisingly, many of these people have solved their teeth's crookedness, thanks to Invisalign®!

Whether you have already gone through a cosmetic dentistry session or are planning to do so, you can use Invisalign®. There are no restrictions as far as Invisalign® is concerned as long as you fulfill all the criteria to be an Invisalign® candidate:

• Presence of a treatable condition such as over bite, under bite, cross bite, crowded teeth or widely spaced teeth
• Availability of time for the treatment
• Grit to finish off the entire course of treatment
• For some, the cost of the treatment is important as well.
  
  Check with your insurance provider regarding how much compensation if any you will receive from them. Generally, Invisalign® is much less expensive than porcelain veneers in correcting crooked smiles and small gaps. And in case your insurance provider can't help you out, we provide excellent third party financing.
  
  On the whole, Invisalign® is undoubtedly the best solution for a perfect smile and may be the entire treatment you need cosmetically.
