Is this just how it is with implants? Keep reading to get the answers to these questions and many more.

Saving money always feels great, especially when it’s on something that you really need like dental care. If you’re unhappy with crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth that always show when you smile, then getting Invisalign on just the top row probably sounds like a reliable way to spend less on the treatment. However, while this sounds good in theory, it often isn’t the best approach in practice—here’s why.

As the weather continues to grow colder, you’ve suddenly noticed that more people around you are consistently sneezing, coughing, and blowing their noses. It’s cold and flu season, which can be particularly challenging for people with Invisalign because their hands are consistently in their mouths when taking off or putting in their trays. Thankfully, you can keep your treatment going and avoid whatever bug is going around by following these three simple tips while the weather is still “frightful.”

After doing your research online, you’ve made a decision: you’re going to get Invisalign to straighten your teeth! Between its discreet appearance, comfort, and flexibility, it’s the perfect fit for a busy person like you. Except there’s just one thing holding you back—you know you grind your teeth. The last thing you want to do is spend the money and get your hopes up only to discover that this unconscious habit renders the treatment useless.

Is it possible to get Invisalign if you grind your teeth? Turns out that the answer isn’t as straightforward as you might expect, but know this—Invisalign is probably still an option!

Whether you’re making a big decision like whether or not to take a job, or even a small one such as figuring out where to eat lunch, the key to finding the right answer is to simply ask questions.

This can have a huge positive impact on your health and appearance, but it’s still a big commitment when it comes to time and investment. Thankfully, just by asking a dentist these four questions, finding the perfect fit should be easy.
