<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn 2022, more people than ever are approaching\ntheir dental teams to undertake treatment with invisible aligners rather than\nbraces but have some questions about the efficacy of invisible aligners\nalongside other dental procedures, particularly cosmetic ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nyou come to Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we\nwill always ensure that we only provide you with Invisalign London<\/a> if you are\nsuited to it and if it is feasible given the severity of the misalignment being\ntreated. And of course, your oral health will also need to be in good enough\ncondition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, can you undertake invisible aligners like Invisalign London<\/strong> if you have already undertaken other\ncosmetic dental treatments? In this article, we will discuss 5 common cosmetic\nprocedures that are offered to adults and whether or not you can use invisible\naligners alongside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Veneers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Veneers are in essence a cover that is placed\nover the front of your tooth to alter its shade, shape or size. They are held\nin place with dental cement and can last for up to 15 years. The good news is\nthat you can use Invisalign London<\/strong> alongside them, as\nthe aligners will simply slot over the tooth just as they would before the\nfitting of the veneer. If you think that the pressure of the aligners is\ncausing your veneers to move, then please contact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases, you can use invisible aligners\nalongside an implant. But it is worth noting that if you have multiple oral\nimplants in your mouth, it is less likely that any orthodontic procedure will\nwork, as implants cannot be moved in the same way as regular teeth. They are\nfused to the jawbone and are not held in place by ligaments like natural teeth.\nIf you have a single oral implant in your mouth and want to undertake invisible\naligners, please disclose this to our team, and we will aim to make sure that\nyour aesthetic goals are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White fillings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can use invisible aligners to move teeth\nthat have had white fillings or even amalgam fillings placed, provided that the\nfilling is intact and that there is no active decay in the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same rule applies for deeper fillings and\neven root canals, though our team will need to take an x-ray of the area before\nusing an invisible aligner with any of these cosmetic or restorative options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whitening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no indication that you cannot use dental\nwhitening alongside invisible aligners. Once they have the straighter smiles\nthat they want, many patients will undertake dental whitening. You can even\nhave whitening performed during the process of wearing the aligner if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It may seem strange to consider using invisible aligners with braces. However, many people may have used fitted orthodontic braces as part of their orthodontic realignment and may now be switching to clear or invisible aligners. This is perfectly fine, provided that both our team and your previous dental team are on the same page about the treatment and the realignment process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you want to straighten your teeth as an adult, it may seem like an intimidating process, especially if you have undertaken other dental treatments before the use of the orthodontics which may impact the outcome.
