    Doesn't Your Smile Deserve a Second Opinion?

    invisalign teen mom advisory board disclosure

    Angeline is now in her sixth month of treatment in the Invisalign Teen program and while we still have a few months to go, we are already seeing an improvement in her teeth!

    I've had so many people ask me questions about Invisalign since I began my involvement in the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board. It's almost comical how many times I've heard, "Our dentist says that we're not a good fit for Invisalign, that we have to get traditional braces."

    I can tell you that at least half the time a dentist says this, it's more due to lack of information and education on the dentist's part and less about your actual compatibility with the Invisalign product. Invisalign has changed a lot since it was first introduced to the market, and many dentists just haven't kept up with the most updated information available. Some dentists aren't even certified to sell Invisalign as a treatment option, and instead of referring their patients to a certified provider, they just tell them that they aren't a good fit.

    That's why it's so important to get a second opinion!

    As with any medical procedure, you should consider getting a second opinion if you are told that you or your child is not a candidate for Invisalign. Not all dentists and orthodontists are certified Invisalign providers, so I personally recommend using the Doctor Locator tool on the Invisalign website to locate a dentist or orthodontist if you are interested in Invisalign treatment.

    While not everyone is suitable for a specific treatment, in many cases, there are choices available. Invisalign’s treatment capabilities are not limited to just mild cosmetic cases. When I met with the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board earlier this year, we saw case studies of patients who had benefited from Invisalign treatment in all different forms! Due to many advances in its proprietary technology, Invisalign can effectively correct a broad range of more complex cases such as: overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, open bite, crossbite, overbite and underbite.

      After moving to a new area, I had to get a second opinion with the dentist I went to. Always a good idea if you are not sure.

      I miss having straight teeth. I need to go BACK to an orthodontist to see about getting Invisalign.

      I got a second opinion when my son's dentist wanted him to have braces at 8. Especially when he said that he would more than likely have to have braces again when he was older.

        That just sounds crazy to me! A child doesn't even have all of their adult teeth when they are 8 years old!

      I've seen my share of good and bad dentist so this makes sense. I would love to get Invisalign myself one day.

      It seems with dental care it's even more important! I've seen such young kids have braces now it's crazy.

      My child is 9 and has almost all his adult teeth. He needs braces too but we are going to wait another year or two before getting them.

      I agree second opinions are important when it comes to your dental health. I have also heard great things about Invisalign.

      Everything deserves a second opinion, especially your teeth!
