i am 17 years old, but i'm missing some of my molars. i'm not sure which ones are missing, but i know that i'm at least missing them on my upper row. does that autmotically make me ineligible for invisalign? all i want to fix is spacing on my upper row.
Eligible for invisalign?
No, this does not automatically disqualify you for Invisalign treatment. It depends on what else is going on in your mouth and what your treatment goals are. Just ask an Invisalign-certified dentist to check you out and answer your questions.
Reply:Invisalign is made to treat mild cases of malocclusion, so this will depend on your dentist's evaluation.
Invisalign won't solve the problem of your missing teeth, it solves mild problems of spacing and teeth crowding, the more the case is severe, the more probably need a conventional orthodontic treatment (braces). So consulting your dentist will give you the chance to know all the options you have for treatment of your situation.
