In general, orthodontist only recommend this approach if they have conducted a thorough dental exam and found one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A relapse after receiving orthodontic therapy in the past<\/li><li>One or several teeth that have become misaligned<\/li><li>Front teeth that are somewhat crooked<\/li><li>Slight gaps or spaces between teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks of Single Arch Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If only your bottom teeth are misaligned or you\u2019re only interested in correcting the teeth that show when you smile, the idea of single arch Invisalign treatment may seem appealing to you. However, moving only your top or bottom teeth can have serious consequences. This can put you at a higher risk of developing complications with your bite like excessive tooth wear, TMJ issues, and trouble chewing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s generally recommended to treat both arches at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Find Out if Single Arch Treatment Is Right for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Single arch Invisalign treatment isn\u2019t the right choice for everyone. The best way to find out if it will work for you is to set up a consultation with your orthodontist. During the appointment, they will take a look at your bite and determine if the orthodontic issues you\u2019re looking to address can be fixed with a single arch aligner treatment. They will be able to share recommendations based on their findings and, depending on what you decide, will then get to work on crafting your custom treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsatisfied with your smile due to crooked, misaligned, or gapped teeth, you may want to consider Invisalign. These clear aligners are effective, discreet, and, as long as your orthodontist gives the okay, may be able to correct just one arch of teeth. Speak with your orthodontist to see if this treatment is right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by Dr. Pasquale J. Giordano and Dr. Joseph A.
