Q. Are Invislaign prone to the problem of teeth moving back to their original position just like any other ortho system? What can be done to stop this. I don’t want to waste my money on Invisalign and then find that my teeth are just the same as they always were.
A. I’m afraid that after any type of orthodontic treatment, the teeth can move and not be exactly where you left them a few years on. The best way to prevent untowards tooth movement (drifting) is to use retainers to keep the teeth still. There are two types of retainers; removable and fixed. Your dentist can talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of both types.
If you wear the Invisalign retainers after treatment indefinately, you teeth should remain stationary indefinately.
