Does invisalign work better for teeth that are already a little bit loose? i have some front teeth that are a bit loose. and since i know that with orthodontics treatment the teeth will be moved around anyway, i was wondering if maybe this would make me a

If : If your teeth are loose, you may have periodontal disease. If that is the case, you need to be evaluated to see the condition of your bone, gums, and support structure. Once it is determined if those teeth can be saved, you can discuss your desire to have them straightened with your dentist. Periodontal treatment will be needed first, and once the gums and bone are healthy, then orthodontic treatment. If the teeth cannot be saved, then invisalign is contraindicated.

As : As indicated above, loose teeth are a sign of disease that must be addressed. Any type of orthodontic treatment requires healthy gum and bone tissues. Orthodontic treatment is not advised in the situation you describe as it puts you at increased risk of loss of teeth. Seek care from your dentist to address the underlying problem that is causing the loose teeth.

Your : Your teeth may be loose because or trauma from the occlusion and not periodontal disease. Trauma from the occlusion is when your upper and lower teeth are out of sync and clash with each other. If that is the reason for your loose teeth then orthodontic treatment with braces or invisalign would be the treatment of choice.

NO!: Loose adult teeth are not healthy. There may be several reasons for the mobility of the teeth, trauma, habits (grinding) or periodontal disease. First address the health of the teeth, if they are healthy enough or the cause of the mobility can be corrected, then tooth movement therapy can be considered. Invisalign does move teeth, but inherently lacks the control of more traditional orthodontics.

Loose teeth: If you have "loose" permanent teeth, this warrants immediate evaluation by your dentist. There may be a serious underlying issue that needs attention. If, on the other hand, they are "loose" because they are being moved with orthodontic care, ask your orthodontists opinion.

A big no: There are several reasons why teeth may be loose, and the reason why they are loose drives the true answer to this question. The most common reason is periodontal disease and loss of bone.....This requires immediate periodontal evaluation. If the reason is occlusal trauma then orthodontic treatment ...Possibly invisalign may be the best course of action.

Not the issue: First of all, invisalign is only about 45% as effective as braces in the hands of a skilled orthodontic specialist, less so in the hands of a generalist. Second, the issue is your loose teeth. Something's not healthy. Must address that issue first. Probably need to see a periodontist.

Depends: It depends on the reason for your loose teeth and exactly how loose they are. If the looseness is due to moderate to severe periodontal disease, then you would probably not be a candidate for orthodontics. See a dentist or periodontist for a thorough evaluation of your dental problem and a realistic treatment plan.

Maybe: But if teeth are lose already I would be concerned about any orthodontic treatment. I would visit an orthodontist, have them take a panoramic x-ray so they can see your root structure, and let them advise you if treatment makes sense.

Loose Teeth: First and foremost, you need to find out "why" your front teeth are "loose". Loose teeth is not something that is good to begin with. Speak to your dentist about this issue. You may require to see a periodontist to evaluate the supporting structures of your teeth (bone especially). Only after finding out why your teeth are loose and getting clearance from a peridontists/dentist, then move on.
