How do I know if I am a good fit for Invisalign clear aligners?

Dr. Jameela Jifri and associates of Scott and Derry Dental Care have performed numerous Invisalign treatments over the years and have seen positive results in many patients. However, not everyone is a good candidate for this clear aligner treatment when seeking solutions to realign their smiles. Knowing whether or not a patient is a good fit is discussed during a consultation appointment at our office, conveniently located in Milton, Ontario.
What should I consider when thinking about undergoing Invisalign treatment?
One thing to remember is that Invisalign is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each patient’s teeth are unique and require personalized treatment plans. So, how do you know if you are a good fit for Invisalign? Here are a few factors to consider:
- Degree of misalignment. Invisalign is best for those with mild to moderate cases of misaligned teeth. Traditional braces may be a better option if your teeth are severely crooked or have major bite issues.
- Commitment to compliance. Invisalign requires its patients to wear the clear aligners for at least 22 hours a day, only removing them for eating and brushing. If you are not committed to following this schedule, the treatment may not be as effective.
- Age. Invisalign is most commonly used for adults and older teens whose teeth have finished growing. Children’s teeth are still developing and may not respond well to the aligners.
- Oral health. Good oral health and wellness are critical for any dental treatment, including Invisalign. If you have conditions like periodontal disease or other dental issues, these must be addressed before starting the treatment.
- Budget. In some cases, Invisalign can be more expensive than traditional braces. It’s important to discuss the cost and payment options with your dentist during your consultation appointment.
