While Invisalign® is a highly effective and discreet option for many, certain factors may disqualify you from this specific treatment path. At our clinic, we use advanced 3D digital scans to determine if you are a candidate, focusing on providing personalized dental solutions that treat each patient as we would our own family.

Factors that may disqualify you or make alternative treatments more appropriate include:

• Severity of the Overbite: We have found that Invisalign® works most predictably for mild to moderate overbites. If your overbite is classified as severe, traditional braces may be recommended instead, as they are better equipped to handle complex vertical bite corrections.
• Complex Tooth Movements: Cases involving significant tooth rotations or very complex vertical movements often require the fixed brackets and wires of traditional braces to achieve a reliable outcome.
• Patient Commitment: For the treatment to be successful, aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours every day. If you feel you cannot commit to this daily routine, a fixed appliance like traditional braces might be a better fit for your lifestyle.

We offer a free initial consultation in Squamish, BC, to evaluate your unique dental anatomy. During this visit, we can provide a virtual preview of your potential results and honestly discuss whether Invisalign® or another tooth replacement or orthodontic option is right for you.
