Can I get Invisalign orthodontics with a dental implant in place?

At Peninsula Dental Implant Center of San Carlos, California, we understand that you have many options for enhancing and restoring your smile. Patients with a missing tooth may replace it with a dental implant, while patients with improper bite alignment or malocclusion might consider orthodontic work such as Invisalign. But what if you need both implants and Invisalign? 

Dr. Shivani Gupta of Peninsula Dental Implant Center can help determine if you can get both Invisalign and implants to restore the smile. But first, let’s look into what Invisalign orthodontics can do and whether or not they work with dental implants.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a widely popular alternative to more traditional metal braces as it uses clear aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. These aligners are custom-made for each patient, starting with digital scans of the current smile and creating a tailored plan from start to finish to help individuals move their teeth into proper alignment with time. This eliminates the need for metal bracket-and-wire braces, which can otherwise cause patients to feel self-conscious while undergoing treatment.

Can I get Invisalign with implants?

While it is not an everyday occurrence, we have had patients visit our office with implants in place, seeking orthodontic treatment. Our team can work with patients who need dental implants either before or after their Invisalign treatment. We can talk to you about what you can expect with treatment and whether or not you are a proper candidate for straightening your teeth with Invisalign or other alternative solutions available.
