Invisalign is a great option for those who want to straighten their teeth without the hassle of traditional metal braces. However, it is not suitable for everyone. Invisalign cannot reshape teeth that are too small or misshapen, as this can interfere with the alignment of the aligners. Additionally, those with cavities, active gum disease, or extreme dental procedures may not be able to receive treatment with Invisalign.
Dental implants, bridges, and problems with the temporomandibular joint can also make it difficult to place Invisalign, but they are not disqualifying factors. Invisalign is not suitable for children or adults with severely crooked teeth or neuromuscular bite problems. If you have any of these issues, your dentist may recommend other orthodontic treatments. However, if your natural teeth are in good condition, you should be eligible to use Invisalign.
Your dentist will always perform a detailed analysis of your dental health before starting any orthodontic treatment.
