Can I get invisalign if I have a loose tooth?

Q. Hi Dr Kumar, I would like to get invislaign but I am worried at the moment as one of my teeth close to the front is feeling a bit loose. I can feel it loosening when I eat for example and even when i bite down without food. What could be causing this? Will I still be able to go with invisalign?

A. Dear Sir/Madam,
loose teeth could be gum disease and bone loss or just extra mobility due to grinding on one tooth. Ask you rnormal dentist to take a radiograph.
Invisalign can treat you but the loose tooth may drift later
