Invisalign<\/a> is one of the most versatile dental treatments that there is. Not only can these thin clear aligners straighten out your teeth, they\u2019ll be able to do so with a thin plastic tray that will be almost impossible to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, adults who have had braces in the past will have seen their teeth come out of alignment, particularly if they\u2019re a little lax with wearing their retainer. This often leads them to wonder whether Invisalign is a viable option for you. If you\u2019re curious, here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Can I Get Invisalign If I\u2019ve Had Braces in the Past?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are some circumstances that can make it difficult for you to get Invisalign treatment, like if you\u2019re dealing with serious oral health problems. However, having braces in the past will never disqualify you from getting Invisalign. In fact, Invisalign is often ideal for patients who have mild to moderate misalignment, which is often the case for people who have had braces before. This means that the treatment is often ideal for this demographic of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Disqualifies You from Getting Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with braces, your dentist will want to make sure that your mouth is completely healthy before getting Invisalign. Otherwise, you could have to deal with some nasty complications during treatment. For that reason, patients with serious oral health problems may need to delay orthodontics until they\u2019re healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is also slightly more limited than traditional braces, as it\u2019s often unable to deal with severely misaligned teeth or serious bite problems. You\u2019ll therefore need to talk to a dentist in order to know whether Invisalign is sufficient to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Invisalign Compare to Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your only orthodontic experience is with wire-and-bracket braces, you may wonder how Invisalign aligners are likely to be different. Of course, the way that Invisalign looks is an important factor; these clear trays are almost imperceptible while you\u2019re wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, probably the biggest difference is the fact that Invisalign aligners are completely removable. This means that instead of learning to brush around your braces, they can be taken off for cleaning. You can also remove your Invisalign aligners before eating; if you want to avoid the dietary restrictions associated with orthodontics, this is a great treatment to pursue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been putting off orthodontic treatment because you\u2019re not excited about the prospect of braces, you should know that Invisalign might be perfect for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
