Invisalign consultation - what to look out for???

[User28823]

Going to get invisalign once my wisdom teeth are removed

What to look out for?

I know one thing is to avoid any dentist who tries to tell you to use rubber bands / elastics or anything, but my bite is fine so shouldn't need those anyway.

My teeth were always really good growing up but wisdom teeth have caused them to get a bit worse plus grinding in my sleep has fucked the inner edges up so I'm getting invisalign to get a perfect smile.

Also, my smile is crooked / slanted, is that a jaw / maxilla problem or something that can be fixed with invisalign?

Should I see a maxillofacial surgeon first and get a full scan before an invisalign consultation?

Yeah, a crooked smile = uneven maxilla. Still, though, it's far easier to fix your teeth than try and get surgery to even out your bones.

Just go to a trusted dentist with lots of positive reviews.

invisalign is pain in the ass ngl it hurts a lot at the beginning and i just stop wearing them sometimes

so pain wise invisalign is worse?
i keep reading ppl say invisalign is much less painful
the pain is expected considering its gotta shift ur teeth but as long as theres no significant difference in outcome i'll prolly stick with invisalign

Isn't extractions bad?

 

[User28823]

Isn't extractions bad?

i'm getting bone grafts on bottom extractions so no concerns there
upper wisdom teeth are supported by minimal bone that grafting them is unnecessary, effects on the maxilla are negligible and even then, removing them might help with hollow cheeks in some cases

its really premolar extractions u have to worry about

I honestly fear recession, because of my wisdom teeth coming in wrong direction, my canine is moved severely and there us a gap from where it was moved. This makes one side of lower teeth slightly moved , starting from molars up to my incisors. No extractions were made tho, should I worry of bone loss or something permanent? Unfortunately I dont have money to get it fixed now

Should I worry?

 

[User28823]

Should I worry?

if ur wisdom teeth are impacted horizontally u should absolutely get bone grafts
that's one of the cases where it is recommended by oral surgeons

 

[Roge]

Should I worry?

@User28823 as example you can Google ronaldo before teeth work and see that he had bad upper teeth and one was very badly aligned (i have similar but with lower canine). Does it cause some irreversible damage

i'm sure it has some negative effects but to what extent idk, i'm still learning myself

is it guaranteed to fuck u over or is it case by case? i’ve seen pics of people that look like they got punched by mike tyson after premolar extractions

if u were young u could have healed better preventing too much bone resorption, but idk

No i dont have it this way, but they still fuck the lower teeth up

 

[Roge]

In theory thats just cosmetic problem and I dont have any bone loss? No extractions were made, just one very bad aligned tooth

idk how crooked teeth influence the maxilla, i could only assume they would cause some asymmetry on the lower maxilla that could be fixed with straightening

ramirez was symmetrical with crooked teeth

My problem is with lower row

 

[User28823]

My problem is with lower row

crooked lower teeth means ur jaw doesnt have space for all ur teeth, so ur jaw didnt develop to its fullest potential

They are not crooked, just wisdom teeth pushed one side slightly and canine was pushed out of row

 

[User28823]

same problem, if ur jaw developed to its full potential u wouldnt have ur wisdom teeth pushing other teeth around

Well thats still only my assumption, need to go to the doctor and examine it

recovering from wisdom teeth removal rn
uppers got extracted no grafts, bottoms got grafts
still swelling but might not see final results until a couple of months when any resorption occurs

Are you teeth crooked? You're recessed then right?

wisdom teeth made them less symmetrical but nothing too bad

before my wisdoms came in i'd get complimented on my natural teeth then they crowded the other teeth

i'm doing invisalign to get my perfect smile back
