Can I have invisalign when I have a dental bridge?

Q. Hello dr, i have a dental bridge in because i had an accident several years ago, it\’s on my bottom jaw at the back. it\’s completely straight and even though you can\’t see it well it does make my teeth look wonky. Can i have invisalign? or would you not advise it because of the bridge?,

A. I\’m afriad Invisalign can not move teeth that are connect by bridges. If the bridge is not looking very good, it may be best to move all the teeth around the bridge and the teeth that bite on the bridge then replace the bridge.
