I have two missing second bicuspids and want to get my teeth straightened. I feel like I’m too old for braces. I was thinking of getting Invisalign. I went to see an orthodontist and he doesn’t think Invisalign is all it is cracked up to be. He wants me to get traditional braces. Is that my only option?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Katherine,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Invisalign
Invisalign: The adult solutions to braces<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My guess is your orthodontist is more comfortable with traditional metal wire and bracket braces. However, Invisalign<\/a> should work fine in your case, though you may have better success with a dentist who treats with Invisalign than with a traditional orthodontist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will do fine with the missing teeth. It could close the spaces so that you wouldn’t even need to replace them with dental implants<\/a>. However, let your dentist evaluate that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If he thinks replacing the teeth is necessary, just make sure he has post-doctoral training in restorative dentistry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fun Benefit to Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is another perk to Invisalign aside from straightening your teeth. Because the aligners are custom-fit to move your bite, they are very snug. This makes them ideal for doubling as teeth whitening<\/a> trays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist can provide you with whitening gel that you can place in your Invisalign aligners at a time convenient to you. This allows you to straighten and whiten your teeth at the same time. It’s like getting a mini smile makeover at a discount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
