Q. I am seriously considering Invisalign but the problem i have is that i have a case of bruxism. Am I still able to get Invisalign? What would be the treatment time for an underbite as well, if you don\’t mind me asking? ,
A. Grinding isn\’t a major problem as you change the aligners frequently, but in terms of retainers, it may be better to have a fixed retainer rather than a removable retainer in the long term as this is less likely to be damaged by the bruxism. The treatment time for bruxism varies depending on the severity. I would seek the advice of an Invisalign dentist for an opinion and estimated treatment duration time.
