Will invisalign correct misalignment? I did a consultation and the doctor said no. If I want to correct it, I have to go thru the traditional braces. So just wonder what you would say.

I’m not sure why your dentist is saying this. It’s true that Invisalign won’t work for every misalignment condition, but the general statement you made, that Invisalign won’t correct misalignment, simply isn’t true. That’s exactly what Invisalign was created for.

So there are two possibilities. Either your dentist doesn’t know much about Invisalign or isn’t open to new ideas, or you’re one of those cases where Invisalign won’t work. Most dentists simply aren’t aware of the power of this new technology, so assuming the first scenario, I’d recommend you get a second opinion from a dentist thoroughly trained in this new technology.

I would suggest checking with Dr. Majid Arooni in Chandler. He’s at 1949 West Ray Road, Suite 26, Chandler, AZ 85224, telephone 480-855-1200. Disclaimer: I’m not endorsing Dr. Arooni, because I know very little about him, but I know he is very experienced in Invisalign invisible braces work, and I suspect that he would give you a good answer about whether it would work for you.
