“Can my smile be fixed with clear aligners or do I need braces?”
This is one of the most common questions dentists get asked around the world. Research shows that 1 in 2 people actively are searching for a teeth straightening solution.
But this question assumes that the tool is doing the straightening, not the provider.
A better question is, “Who should I see to straighten my teeth?”
If you see a double expert in teeth straightening — an Orthodontist who specializes in teeth straightening using Invisalign over braces — you will get great results.
Remember that clear aligners are a tool that a talented and skilled specialist must use to design your perfect smile.
Most Invisalign providers are general dentists who have taken a 4-hour Invisalign certification, compared to a specialist who has 6,000 of education on teeth straightening.
If you ask a general dentist, the most likely answer will be that you don’t qualify, since they aren’t specialists.
Whether your teeth are overlapping, spaced, or you have a bite issue that you’d like to fix, like an overbite, where your top teeth cover your bottom teeth, an open bite, where your front teeth don’t touch or an overjet, where your upper teeth stick out much further than your lower teeth—
If you see a double specialist, you most likely qualify and will get great results.
