@bracesbysable: I get this question alot and I do think its very confusing to the general public about who is qualified to do certain procedures in the dental field. If you are someone who has anxiety and does second guess their decision or what their doctor is doing.. then go to the specialist from the start. Also, general dentists are qualified to treat patients with clear aligners and many of them do a fantastic job! The difference is they did not spend 2-3+ years after school in a residency training only in orthodontics! I personallg am always going to go to the specialist in a field! If i need ankle surgery.. im going to an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in ankles…. Same applies here! #invisalign #clearaligners #braces
I think the problem is when dentists try to do cases outside of their skillset and that’s not fair to patients.

I worked for a gen dentist who would do Invisalign cases and select to never do attachments or bands. The patients had revision after revision 😵💫

My dentist told me I wasn’t a good candidate for Invisalign. Orthodontist said I was. I literally got my first set of liners one day before my 6 month hygiene appointment 😳

Is it possible to transfer your case to an orthodontist after you’ve already started

Now I feel like I should have done more research. I’m on day 4 of Invisalign and did research after, now I know I have a dentist, not an orthodontist. And I’m annoyed with my lisp caused by the trays

An ortho made my treatment plan and assesses my scans but he is remote. I went to my dentist for my attachments and if I have any issues I will go to the dentist. I hope that is sufficient.

It can be ok but I feel like whatever you doing, from braces to a rhinoplasty to a roof repair. It’s almost always going to be best to hire someone who specializes in it

I just got my braces off and now my teeth are super sensitive as they weren’t before I got them off. Is this normal or should I consult my regular dentist or ortho?

So glad we did an ortho checkup when my son was 7. He needed a palate expander and we wouldn’t have known had we just let the dentist do Invisalign

I have an implant so I decided I would only go to an ortho for Invisalign; def more expensive but I’d rather have someone doing it who thinks about it all day every day!

My dentist does invialign but is totally clueless and always gives out misinformation. They got upset I went to an ortho instead and are constantly arguing that my ortho does everything wrong 🧐😒
