This treatment offers one of the most discreet methods for correcting bite misalignment, and it\u2019s much quicker on average than traditional metal braces! However, you may be wondering if you can simply get clear aligners for your upper teeth. Read on to learn if this treatment plan is right for you and the risks that may be involved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Single Arch Invisalign Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A single arch treatment is primarily focused on correcting either the top or bottom teeth instead of both arches. While this method is possible, many orthodontists may only recommend this method after they\u2019ve performed a detailed assessment of your smile and found the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mildly crooked front teeth.<\/li><li>Slight gaps or spacing.<\/li><li>A single tooth that\u2019s shifted out of alignment.<\/li><li>Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks of Single Arch Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a single arch may be your main concern, it\u2019s important to understand the changes that will happen for the rest of your smile. Just because one row is straight doesn\u2019t mean that it will line up properly with the other. If you only correct the alignment of your upper or lower teeth, then you may risk serious consequences for your entire bite. These oral issues may include TMJ-related problems, chewing complications, and even excessive tooth wear. To avoid these situations, it\u2019s generally best to address both arches of teeth so that your smile remains perfectly matched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Determine if Single Arch Treatment Is Best for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While single arch orthodontic treatment isn\u2019t the most ideal option for every patient, it might be a viable method for your specific goals. The only way to know for sure is by scheduling a consultation with your orthodontist. During your appointment, they can evaluate your bite and discuss the problems you\u2019re interested in correcting. Once they\u2019ve thoroughly examined your teeth, they\u2019ll provide you with suggestions on how to achieve your dream smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re unhappy with having crooked or gapped teeth, don\u2019t hesitate to consult your orthodontist about Invisalign. By speaking with them, you might find that addressing only one arch may be an option for you. Afterward, you\u2019ll have the perfectly straight smile you\u2019ve always wanted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Zelia Cannon is a proud member of several organizations such as the Pankey Institute and the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry.
