So if\nyou are unsure if a crown is going to be a problem or if that filling may be an\nissue, simply call us for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, our team will highlight the most\ncommon types of dental work that we experience in our clinic and how <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> responds to them. And of course, if they\nmay present a problem! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crowns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crown is in essence a very large filling topped\nwith a restoration that seeks to build up a tooth that has been damaged by\ndecay or trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the work needed for a crown involves the top\nof the tooth and does not impact the roots, it is unlikely that a crown will be\na problem for <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>. But if your\ncrown is loose or decay has set in underneath, this will need to be remedied\nbefore you undertake any kind of orthodontic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as invisible braces do not need to be\nattached to your teeth, this may be more helpful for patients who have multiple\ncrowns or large fillings, as there will be no additional pressure applied\ndirectly to the restorative due to brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fillings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-existing fillings very rarely present a\nproblem when it comes to undertaking invisible aligners as, in a similar vein\nto a crown, an invisible aligner does not apply any pressure via a bracket to a\nfilling and so, it is more likely to stay in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if during your treatment using invisible\naligners it is found that you have a cavity and need a filling, treatment may\nneed to be suspended temporarily after the filling is fitted to allow the tooth\nto heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bridges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridges can present more of an issue with\northodontic realignments, as if they are fitted they cannot be moved and it is\nunwise to try to move the teeth around them. Or, if they are not fitted there\nis a very large gap in the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can present an issue for invisible aligners\nand if you have a bridge of any sort, you should discuss it with our team\nbefore beginning treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Veneers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your veneers are in good condition and are healthy without any decay underneath them, there is no reason why you should not be able to undertake treatment with invisible aligners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to having your teeth straightened as an adult or even as a teenager, it is worth exploring how other types of dental work may impact the success of the overall treatment.
