Can You Get Invisalign For Bottom Teeth Only?
When you think about the Invisalign treatment, you likely think about how it utilizes two custom-fit aligner trays to treat your bottom and top teeth. But what if you only need a single-arch treatment on your bottom teeth? Does Invisalign offer treatment for bottom teeth only? The good news is that the answer to this question is yes! Dr. Harpreet Aulakh offers this single-arch treatment for those needing it in Langley City, British Columbia.
Single Arch Treatment – How Does it Work?
Most people who begin the Invisalign treatment will seek treatment for the top and bottom teeth, as shown in all the commercials and informational materials. Two custom-fit trays are worn on the top and bottom teeth. Single-arch treatment does not differ much from having both treated. Instead of wearing two aligners, you will only wear one on either the bottom or top arch of your teeth, depending on your specific needs.
One important note is that, while you may think you only need a single arch treatment, your dentist will examine you to determine if this is accurate. Not everybody qualifies for single arch treatment; it will depend on your occlusion.
When is Single Arch Treatment a Suitable Treatment Option?
Treatment for a single arch is typically appropriate when you have only a few crooked teeth on a single arch or if the treatment you seek is cosmetically minded. If you have a crossbite or overbite, treatment on both arches will likely be the recommended action. Some of the dental issues listed may be corrected with single-arch Invisalign treatment:
- Minorly crooked front teeth.
- A misaligned tooth.
- Spacing or gaps.
- Teeth in your smile zone.
