Basic Guidelines for Establishing Invisalign Candidates

Generally speaking, a good candidate for Invisalign is someone who:

Orthodontic Issues Invisalign Can Correct

Invisalign is a great way to perfect smiles that are marred by minor to moderate orthodontic imperfections, including:

At our Spring, Texas practice, we use Invisalign most commonly to correct spacing issues and crowding. While we have used Invisalign for patients with bite problems such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite, these conditions often require more intensive treatment and may be better suited for traditional metal braces.

Invisalign Age Guidelines

The majority of the Invisalign patients at our Spring, Texas practice are adults who desire minor to moderate orthodontic adjustment but don’t want traditional braces because they are inconvenient and unattractive. Invisalign or Invisalign Teen are also appropriate for patients over the age of twelve whose second molars have already come in. Many patients in their teenage years feel self-conscious about their appearance as it is, and wearing metal braces only makes them feel more insecure. With Invisalign our patients of all ages can smile with confidence.

Existing Dental Work

Patients who already have restorative dentistry modifications such as crowns and bridges may still be strong candidates for Invisalign with Dr. Maisa M. Idriss in Spring, TX. It is very uncommon for dental crowns to interfere with the treatment process, though sometimes a piece of dental hardware known as an attachment may be used to ensure optimal results. While in some cases dental bridges can interfere with the controlled force approach that Invisalign is based on, patients who have bridges achieve stunning results with Invisalign. As with any cosmetic dentistry or orthodontics treatment, Invisalign candidacy needs to be established on a case-by-case basis.
