Is invisalign for me?
everyone can get invisalign, but it really depends on what results you want. For exaple if you just want your teeth straight, invisalign is great. But if you have a deep over bite or under bite, invisalign will NOT fix those problems (are you a tongue thruster or is the dentsit trying to expand your palate-- it looks like you have some sort of appliance) but it looks like you need a lot of rotaion on your lower teeth so it is best with traditional braces. Orthodontist give free consults, get an appointment with an orthodontist that does both traditional braces and invisalign. Hope for the best for you!
Reply:I have worked in 3 different offices that does Invisalign and I have had Invisalign myself. If the dentist is not an orthodontist, it is still okay. The dentist had to go to special training to become certified to do Invisalign in her office. The way it works is they will do a diagnostic workup with impressions, photos, etc. They send all of this to Invisalign where everything is loaded into a computer. The Invisalign tray system is computer generated with an end result in mind. If the dentist does anything wrong, the computer won't be able to generate the trays. It is kind of foolproof. If you do not have confidence in your dentist, go to an orthodontist who does Invisalign and get a second opinion. Orthodontic consults are usually free. Also, not all dentists charge the same fees for the Invisalign. You may be able to save money. FYI== there are not many people who get braces on only the top or only the bottom, and have the end result be perfect. I would definitely get a second opinion.
