Inside the Science

Previous Treatments

Teeth often shift over time, so it’s no surprise that many people who have had orthodontic treatments in the past may want or require another straightening later.

​As long as your gums and teeth are healthy, you should be able to use aligners even if you’ve previously had other treatments.

Inside the Science

Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth can be tough to keep clean since there’s more places for plaque to get trapped. Your dentist may have told you about extra buildup or tartar on your lower front teeth—that’s where crowding tends to happen the most. Careful brushing and flossing are extra important, and tools like electric toothbrushes can help a lot.

Crowded teeth can also cause premature wear and tear. Getting the teeth into better alignment can help prevent this damage.

Inside the Science

Spaces Between Teeth

Spaces between teeth are often genetic, so family members may have matching gaps. Though many people choose to close them, not all gaps require treatment.

To close some gaps (especially between the 2 front teeth), the completion of your treatment plan may show spaces in other places, like behind the canine teeth. Taking your impressions will give you access to a virtual illustration of the best solution for your smile.

Inside the Science

Bite Issues

Some overbites are a purely cosmetic issue, but others can impact chewing, speech, and overall comfort. Underbites and crossbites may lead to premature wear on the teeth, and severe cases can create problems with eating, speech, and jaw pain.​

Invisible aligners can correct many bite issues, but some cases may require traditional braces.​

Inside the Science

Existing Dental Work

Invisible aligners often work for people who have existing implants, bridges, or crowns, but it will be important for your clinical team to know the exact locations of existing dental work.

If you aren’t sure where they are, we recommend that you ask your dentist for the exact tooth numbers and the type of restoration done.

Inside the Science

Baby Teeth

Baby teeth have small roots that slowly reabsorb when adult teeth come in. If you are still actively losing baby teeth and getting adult teeth, you are typically not eligible for aligner treatment. If you are an adult with a baby tooth that never fell out, you may still be a candidate for aligners from Byte.​
