Q. Hi, I’m supposed to be getting my impressions made in a few weeks. I have very straight teeth with little spaces in between and a little more space in between the bottom teeth as my first molars are baby teeth. My dentist mentioned to me that Invisalign might leave spaces in the back of my mouth before my molars. Now this is making me extremely hesitant as why would I pay to have the spaces removed and shifted to the back of my mouth. I have a big smile so I’m worried I’d be able to see them. Is this normal??,
A. The anterior teeth may be shifted back to close these spaces which are infront of the baby teeth. The baby teeth cannot be shifted as their roots are very small, and hence the other back teeth cannot be moved either. Please ask your dentist as to wether you are having the premolars s=hifted back as inm full Invisalign or just the anterior teeth shifted back as in anterior Invisalign? Dr R Kumar
