Q. hi i have an infection in my tooth and have been advised by my dentist to go ahead with root canal treatment. i\’m half way through my invisalign treatment and worried it\’ll have to be stopped for a long time, i don\’t want to start the treatment again. what can i do? and what will happen in regards to my treatment if i have the root canal??,
A. Hello, It is difficult to answer without seeing it. The root treated tooth might just need a small filling which would not disturb the fit of your aligner. The root treatment specialist can decide how soon you could load the tooth.If your aligner does not fit for any reasons you might need a new set of Invisalign. You should discuss the plan with both your dentist and Invisalign provider.
