Invisalign help.?

I just had a question for anyone using the Invisalign straighteners.Do you have to have wisdom teeth pulled before you are able to use the Invisalign straighteners? How about any other teeth to make room for the straightening? Any information about Invisalign would be greatly appreciated. Price, tips, any info. Thanks!

Invisalign help.?
It depends on you if your dentists decides that you need to make space to move some teeth over the first choice is to pull out your wisdom teeth but only if you need the space it isn't obligatory. I had to get all four of them taken out before i got my invisalign but only because i really needed space. I had to wear them for two years and they worked great ! I really recommend them. I changed the retainers once every two weeks and I had 19 sets. At the beggining they were really uncomfortable but once you get used to them you don't even notice they are there ! I had to pay 3,000 dollars for the whole thing but it was well worth it. they are hygenetic and really effective much better than braces.
Reply:You have to be a candidate to get Invaslign, so you can't assume Invisalign is for you until you talk to your dentist about it. Also, conventional braces work best for most people with malocclusion, and generally provide better results than Invisalign.





As far as teeth being extracted for an Orthodontics treatment, it's not common for Invisalign cases, because Invisaligh works for small adjustments in your teeth (closing small spaces, straightening a tooth or two, etc). Extractions are common for what dentists call crowded arch, when there is not enough room for orthodontics to work. The most common teeth to extract are wisdom teeth, because we don't need them as much as other teeth in our mouth. In some cases, other teeth might be extracted to get better outcome.





Invisalign are slightly more expensive than traditional braces, $7000 versus $5000 (these prices vary from a dental office in your area to another).





Good luck
