If you are ready to straighten your teeth, Invisalign in Morristown, NJ, is an option for treatment. At the office of Dr. Dev Patwa, our staff provides patient and professional care and look forward to helping you achieve a straighter smile.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a process to straighten teeth with clear removable trays. These trays are custom-made for you and are a great alternative to metal braces.
What Is A Crown?
We place crowns on teeth that have experienced excessive wear or decay. Crowns restore the tooth to its proper shape. These restorations can be made from porcelain or gold.
Can I Use Invisalign With A Crown?
Yes, you can receive Invisalign treatment with a crown or other dental work. Invisalign is completely compatible with dental crowns. Those with crowns may have an easier time aligning their teeth with Invisalign than with traditional braces. Invisalign can usually handle dental crowns well with some adjustments made. The main difference between Invisalign and traditional braces is that your dentist can fashion the trays specifically for your mouth.
During your first visit to our office in Morristown, NJ, for Invisalign treatment, we will create models of your teeth. These are 3-D images that help us plan your treatment. We will also fit you with the trays and check if any further treatment needs to be completed before aligning your teeth. Our staff will be extra careful and considerate regarding the presence of existing crowns when we fit you for your aligner trays.
You can also wait until after your Invisalign treatment is over to get crowns or other restorative work done. Whether it is best to get crowns before or after depends on each patient. Either way, our staff will do their best to work with you to achieve a beautiful straight smile.
Don't let existing crowns stop you. Visit the office of Dr. Patwa for Invisalign treatment in Morristown, NJ. Call us at (973) 538-1100 for your initial consultation today.
