Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign Clear Aligners?
There are several factors that could affect whether you are a strong candidate for Invisalign or another clear aligner tray set, as these allow your care team to identify any risk factors associated with your lifestyle. If you identify with the following statements, you may be an ideal patient:
- Previously wore braces, and teeth have shifted out of place again
- Want to have fewer visits to the dentist’s office
- Able to wear Invisalign trays for at least 22 hours each day
- Of an appropriate age to keep track of the trays; younger kids may lose their aligners
- Good oral hygiene and upkeep habits
- No tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, or other oral health problems
- Want less obvious orthodontic treatment
- Strong overall health
- Have moderate alignment issues, such as with bite, crowding, or spacing
- Need to reduce the risk of emergency appointments for orthodontic tools
Your candidacy for clear aligners can only be definitively determined by a qualified practitioner, such as one from Doc Dental Smiles. We can help you prepare for your consultation for Invisalign, so please get in touch with us when you’re ready to begin.
