Thus, they have aimed to ensure that invisible aligners are\ncompatible with almost every restorative or cosmetic treatment there is for\nyour teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we will always\naim to be frank and clear with our patients about treatment with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign London<\/a> and how it\nmay impact other restorative and cosmetic treatments they have undertaken.\nAfter all, we want you to get the straighter smile that you want and deserve\nwithout having to sacrifice other cosmetic treatments to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without further ado, in this article, our\nteam looks at the common cosmetic treatments that many of our patients have\nwhen they come to us for <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> and\nwhether or not they are compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dental implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> is designed to move your natural teeth into more desirable positions.\nBut what if you have dental implants? Will the use of an invisible aligner\ncause an issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, no. The use of dental implants\nwill not negatively impact the realignment process of an invisible aligner.\nThis is because most dental implants are set in straight positions alongside\nyour other teeth and will not need to be moved by the aligner, making them\ncompatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crowns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crowns are an extensive restoration of a tooth\nthat has been damaged just above the gum line but has healthy roots; this\nleaves many people to worry that pressure from an invisible aligner may cause\nthe crown to fall off. Luckily, if your crown is being correctly maintained\nwith bi-annual checkups, it will likely not fall, and the tooth can be moved\nalongside any others without hassle during the realignment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fillings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like a crown, even a very large filling can\nbe successfully moved using invisible aligners, provided that there is no\nunderlying decay or that the tooth that has the filling is not loose or showing\nsigns of decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Root canals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Root canals are a bit more complicated as they\nare, in essence, fillings that have occurred underneath the gum line. You&#8217;ll be\nglad to know that if the tooth that has had the root canal is healthy, it will\nnot negatively impact the orthodontic treatment you wish to undertake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be sure that you attend your bi-annual\ncheckups regularly before undertaking invisible aligners to ensure that your\nroot canal is set in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Veneers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you may have guessed by now, the majority of these restoratives depend on them being securely in place and not moving when it comes to treatment with invisible aligners. In the case of veneers, which are, in essence, porcelain shells placed over the front of your teeth, it is possible to have treatment with aligners, as it does not put pressure onto the veneer but rather the tooth. Provided that the veneers are strongly bonded to your teeth, there should not be an issue with invisible aligner treatment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are an adult considering orthodontic care, you may have concerns that some of your pre-existing dental conditions or restorations may not be compatible with orthodontic realignments, particularly when it comes to using an invisible aligner.
