Invisalign- Question About A Unique Case?

By Orthodontics Editor, on June 8th, 2009

I’ve been told various things about invisalign. Anyway, the midline of my bottom teeth are way off. I saw one person who told me Invisalign was effectively the same as braces in terms of being able to correct problems. I saw another who said they’d definitely put me in braces instead. The pro-Invisalign person is a cosmetic dentist who’s had about 30 years of experience in his craft, and is one of the lead Invisalign providers in the area. The anti-Invisalign person is an orthodontist who provides Invisalign as well, but with only a few years experience. Sure, a doctor who is a so-called expert on Ivisalign is going to push their product, but who’s to say they don’t really know more about it, and are therefore correct in their assessment? On the other hand, who knows I guess…Sorry about the long-winded explanation but does/has anyone had Invisalign for more significant issues, and who would you tend to side with on this matter? Thanks!

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
