Although alignment issues typically involve both arches, it\u2019s not uncommon for only the upper teeth to be gapped, overcrowded, or rotated. As a result, you might be asking yourself, \u201ccan I get Invisalign on just my top teeth in Astoria?\u201d While it is possible, many dentists advise against it because it can lead to complications. Here\u2019s what you need to know to make the best decision for your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Single Arch Treatment with Invisalign Possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, treatment with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfamilydental.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> uses a\npair of aligners, which are worn over the upper and lower teeth. Each aligner\nis changed weekly to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Although\nthe top and bottom teeth are often treated together, Invisalign can be used for\nonly one arch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The series of aligners are created to focus on a particular area\ninstead of adjusting the entire bite relationship between your upper and lower\nteeth. Often, partial treatment requires fewer aligners, which can reduce the\noverall cost. Although every case differs, most patients are finished with\ntheir series in 4 to 6 months; however, some people may need aligners for as\nlong as 1 year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Am I a Candidate for Single Arch Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treating a single arch isn\u2019t an option for everyone. You\u2019ll\nrequire a thorough consultation with your dentist to ensure you\u2019re a candidate\nfor it. Besides the positioning of your teeth, your dentist will also check\nyour bite to determine if Invisalign in Astoria is right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Invisalign for one arch is recommended for people who\nhave a few crooked teeth in the front and want their smiles to look straighter.\nUnfortunately, you will need both upper and lower aligners if you have complex\nbite issues, like an open bite or a crossbite. Overall, single arch Invisalign\nis best for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Minor gaps between teeth<\/li><li>Slightly crooked front teeth<\/li><li>Tooth tipped out of alignment<\/li><li>Previous orthodontic therapy relapse<\/li><li>Teeth in the smile zone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are There Risks of Single Arch Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important for the upper and lower teeth to have a harmonious\nrelationship. If they don\u2019t close together correctly, it can cause pressure\npoints, which can lead to enamel wear, toothaches, and disorders with your temporomandibular\njoint. Depending on the severity of the issue, it can make it difficult to bite\nor chew. Your dentist will need to consider several factors to minimize any potential\nrisks if you\u2019re a candidate for only one aligner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy a Straight Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in correcting one arch using Invisalign,\nyour dentist will create the personalized plan you need to achieve the best\nresults.
