In short, yes you can be considered for Invisalign if you have dental implants or crowns. However, we recommend completing your treatment before complicated cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Invisalign and Dental Implants
With Invisalign you can achieve a perfect smile without the use of brackets or wires.
Dental implants are fitted as a straight tooth, meaning it is possible to complete Invisalign as your existing teeth will be adjusted over time.
Dentists recommend completing your teeth straightening treatment before having dental implants. Doing this makes it easier for orthodontists to rectify any dental issues and gives more flexibility to design your perfect smile.
Unlike regular teeth, implants cannot be moved once they are fitted. This will not impact your existing teeth, but your dentist may want to clarify your expectations, as you may not be able to achieve an entirely perfect smile.
Remember, eligibility for Invisalign with a tooth implant varies for every individual. Our expert dentists will determine whether clear braces are a possibility for you.
Invisalign and Crowns
Dental crowns cover teeth that have decayed, chipped, broken, or had a root canal. Teeth often need a crown if they are past the point of filling and need a stronger form of protection.
Crowns do not interfere with the Invisalign process!
Clear retainers do not bond to your teeth like traditional braces, so the risk of damaging your crown is reduced.
However, again, the treatment you receive is subject to each individual case.
