Is It Possible To Get Invisalign After Being Treated With A Palatal Expander?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 13th, 2009

I currently have a palatal expander in to fix my crossbite, and i am starting to develop a small gap in between my front teeth due to the expansion. After the expander is taken out the orthodontist wants to put in metal braces to fix the space the the expansion has caused. I was wondering if instead of braces i could get invisalign?

  I had a palatal expander for about 6 months.and the results were awesome. I’m pretty sure you can get invisalign if your paying for it in cash but if you have insurance it might not cover the invisible braces.
  Gettting metal braces is better..your treatment will take less time and the results will be amazing. Don’t worry about the metal braces they won’t look bad on you and invisible braces look worse since they get stained with certain foods. Inew someone who had invisible braces and they still don’t have them off..for like 3 years already..the process is slow.
  Good luck

  I was about to pose a duplicate query myself – I am fascinated to have the responses.
