My Dentist Said I Can’t Do Invisalign—But You CAN at Rideau Town Dental Care!
If you’ve been told in the past that you aren’t a candidate for clear aligners, it’s time for a second opinion. While traditional braces were once the only answer for complex cases, Invisalign technology has advanced significantly. At Rideau Town Dental Care, we utilize the latest clinical innovations to treat cases that were previously considered “too difficult” for clear aligners.
Dr. Samarrae and our clinical team have extensive experience using Invisalign to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns. During your assessment, we will evaluate your unique dental anatomy to determine if a customized clear aligner plan can work for you.
Can’t Do Invisalign? Think Again!
Overbite? YES!
An overbite occurs when upper teeth overlap lower teeth excessively. Left untreated, a “deep bite” can cause tooth wear and jaw strain.
Clinical Management: We use Invisalign to gradually reposition the arches, improving both your appearance and your long-term periodontal health.
Underbite? YES!
When lower teeth extend past the upper front teeth, it can interfere with chewing and speech.
Clinical Management: Whether the cause is dental or skeletal, we can often use clear aligner therapy to reposition the lower teeth and relieve TMJ tension.
Crossbite? YES!
A crossbite—where upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth—can lead to chipped teeth and gum recession.
Clinical Management: Invisalign is highly effective at moving specific teeth into a functional alignment, reducing the risk of premature enamel wear.
Gap Teeth? YES!
Gaps (diastema) aren’t just a cosmetic issue; they allow food to trap and irritate the gums.
Clinical Management: We use Invisalign to close these spaces precisely, making daily brushing and flossing much more effective.
Open Bite? YES!
If your upper and lower teeth don’t touch when you close your mouth, it puts immense pressure on your back molars.
Clinical Management: Our goal is to move the teeth to achieve a functional bite relationship, distributing force evenly across your smile.
Why Get a Second Opinion at Rideau Town Dental Care?
Orthodontic needs vary significantly from person to person. Just because one provider wasn’t comfortable treating your case with aligners doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.
Our Second Opinion Process Includes:
🔬 Comprehensive Digital Exam: We use high-tech 3D scans to see exactly what’s happening beneath the surface.
📋 Personalized Review: We’ll explain the “why” behind your bite issues and provide a clear, honest treatment path.
💡 Advanced Solutions: We often use “attachments” or specific clinical techniques that allow Invisalign to handle more complex movements.
