Are bridges a factor in Invisalign treatment?
Because bridges firmly link two or more teeth together, they can offer significant resistance to tooth movement. Dr. Fornatto will be able to determine whether bridges will be a factor in your treatment.

Are crowns a factor in Invisalign treatment?
No, crowns are usually not a factor in Invisalign treatment. However, sometimes small composites called "attachments" are bonded onto teeth to help achieve certain movements. In these cases, the location of crowns must be carefully evaluated. To find out if crowns will adversely impact your orthodontic treatment, consult Dr. Fornatto, an Invisalign certified doctor.

Can Invisalign close gaps?

Will TMJ affect Invisalign treatment?

To find out if your TMJ problem will adversely impact treatment, consult Dr. Fornatto, an Invisalign-trained doctor.
