I knocked a tooth out whilst wearing invislign, what should I do?

Q. I knocked a tooth out on a bicycle accident (with my aligners in) now my aligners are damaged and I have a missing tooth 🙁 I\’m waiting to see my dentist but what do you think will happen? I\’m really nervous about having to start the invisalign all over again.,

A. It is going to be very difficult to close an anterior space with Invisalign. Your dentist may have to place an implant crown in the space and you may be still able to conticue with the aligners. Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS
