If you are looking to change your smile, two of the best treatments available today are Invisalign clear aligners and dental implants. Yet many of our patients at Earley Dental Practice are curious about the same thing: Can Invisalign and implants be used at the same time? Should I have Invisalign first or after a dental implant?
If you are contemplating Invisalign Reading or seeking dental implants in Reading, the following guide will assist you in knowing how these two treatments can complement one another and why making the right choice as to the sequence is the key to making your dream smile come true.
Invisalign Reading – a subtle orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth with clear aligners rather than metal braces. They are removable, comfortable, and ideal for adults and teenagers who prefer to have a straighter smile without the inconvenience of fixed braces.
Reading Dental Implants – a permanent solution for missing teeth. A titanium post of just a few millimeters is inserted into your jawbone to hold a natural-looking crown, bridge, or even dentures. Implants are indistinguishable from natural teeth.
At Earley Dental Practice, we both provide treatments, offering patients customised plans that put restorative and cosmetic dentistry together for optimal outcomes.
Yes – but with restrictions. Invisalign aligners can shift natural teeth, but not implants, since implants are anchored to the bone. Your orthodontist will therefore plan treatment around your implant, moving the adjacent teeth instead.
In general, patients are instructed to undergo Invisalign treatment and then implants. This way, your teeth will be properly aligned before you receive permanent restorations.
If, however, you already have gaps, implants might be placed first at times to maintain bone and avoid movement. At Earley Dental Practice, we carefully evaluate your case to see what order is suitable.
Yes. With precise planning, Invisalign can shift natural teeth around an implant, realigning your bite and smile. State-of-the-art technology, such as digital impressions, enables us to plan tooth movement while stabilising the implant.
Indeed. If you have lost a tooth and your other teeth have shifted into space, Invisalign in Reading can be employed to slowly move your teeth back to their optimal position. This opens up the required space for a dental implant in Reading, restoring function as well as aesthetics.
Patients undergoing both treatments have the following benefits:
Customised treatment timing – designed by specialists for successful outcome.
The timeframe is different. Regular Invisalign treatment lasts 6–18 months, but if you already have an implant, longer or more planning may be involved. Our Reading Invisalign clinic gives realistic timescales at your consultation.
Each patient is unique. Some will require Invisalign prior to implants, some may require an implant prior to Invisalign. The most important thing is individual treatment planning, and that is precisely what we offer at Earley Dental Practice.
