With your busy life you can\u2019t imagine going through braces again, but you want to feel confident about your smile. You\u2019ve heard of Invisalign but don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a viable option because of the braces you wore previously. Fortunately, they are! Invisalign<\/a> can give you the results you want in as little as six months and is practically invisible. Your dentist can answer your questions and help you determine if Invisalign is applicable for your unique smile.\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Is Invisalign?<\/h2>\r\nInvisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth to give you a better smile. While it isn\u2019t as effective for more complex alignment issues, Invisalign is a great option for people who want to adjust their smile without the<\/span> brackets, wires, and the restrictions that come with them.\r\n\r\nThe first step is a consultation with an Invisalign-trained doctor and the creation of your unique set of aligners. They are worn the majority of the day, and you will receive a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks. Eventually, your teeth will gradually shift into place to create your beautiful new smile.\r\n

I Already Had Braces. Can I Get Invisalign?<\/h2>\r\nYes! If you\u2019ve already had braces, but your teeth have shifted since they were removed, Invisalign is a viable option. They can treat nearly all common teeth straightening issues like overbites, underbites, crooked teeth and gaps. Many people whose teeth have shifted after braces have successfully chosen Invisalign as a discrete solution to perfect their smile.\r\n\r\nIf you are currently wearing braces and are interested in switching to Invisalign, talk to your dentist. Depending on your individual situation, this treatment approach may be possible.\r\n

What About My Other Dental Work?<\/h2>\r\nDepending on the dental work you\u2019ve had done, Invisalign may be a feasible option to improve your smile.\r\n

Veneers\/Crowns<\/h3>\r\nBased off of your dental history, your doctor will be able to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for Invisalign aligners. He or she will evaluate your individual needs to come up with a solution that will work best for you.\r\n

Bridgework<\/h3>\r\nUsually, Invisalign is not a good fit for patients who have bridgework on several teeth. Invisalign clear aligners are designed to move each tooth individually into the correct position. Because bridgework connects multiple teeth, clear aligners may not be the most effective option. Thankfully, there are other cosmetic services that can help you achieve your ideal look, like dental implants.\r\n\r\nDepending on your specific situation, Invisalign treatment could put you on track to have the smile that you\u2019ve always wanted. Talk to your dentist about whether or not this could be the solution you are looking for.\r\n
