Invisalign has become a popular orthodontic treatment among teens and adults. It offers a discreet, comfortable experience compared to traditional braces. You might be interested in this service yourself, but the thought of wearing two trays on your dental arches may not sound too appealing. It may just be your top teeth you want adjusted, but can you alter your tray journey? Here’s what you should know.
Is Invisalign on Just My Top Teeth Possible?
In short, it is possible to get Invisalign on just your top teeth, but it’s not right for everyone. Your smile comes together in specific places. When one is shifted without accounting for the other, you risk developing complications, such as tooth wear or even jaw pain. This is why some malocclusions cause trouble since they mess with the harmony of your mouth.
That said, those who can get orthodontic trays on just their upper dental arch need to have consistent progress checks. These visits help your prosthodontist monitor your grin and ensure everything is going as planned. Any problems can be sorted out before they become a serious issue.
You can expect to have these visits every six to eight weeks. There are a few benefits to this altered service, as you may save time and money since you don’t need as many aligners.
So, Can I Alter My Invisalign Experience?
The only way to know whether you can alter your Invisalign treatment is by talking to your prosthodontist. It may be possible for you if you have just a single tooth out of line, just your front teeth are slightly crooked, or you have minor gaps.
Your provider will look at your orthodontic issues and determine whether a single-arch tray experience can benefit you. If it will cause more trouble, then it may not be possible, but don’t feel disheartened! You can feel confident knowing that your oral health won’t falter and get closer to your straighter smile.
