At Southcentre Dental Clinic, we often receive inquiries about Invisalign® and whether it is possible to wear only one aligner for either the top or bottom teeth. The answer is yes, but it is highly unlikely. Invisalign® is a customizable treatment that can be tailored to your specific needs, so if your doctor determines that only one set of teeth needs to be adjusted, then you may only need one aligner. However, Dr. Jennifer Silver uses advanced technology to diagnose bite problems, and in most cases, both sets of teeth require adjustment. Even if one set of teeth is healthy, it may still need an aligner to fit properly with the other set. If you have any questions about Invisalign® treatment, please contact us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Silver.
