Love my Invisalign!! Thank you Dr. Passamano

[@drpassamano]

Thank you, Audris! Hope you are enjoying your beautiful smile!

[@user-fr2ne2sb1u]

Dr. Passamano is simply fantastic. Both of my children adore him, and as a parent, I couldn't be happier with the care they receive. I've also referred several friends who share the same sentiment. They come highly recommended!

[@drpassamano]

You are amazing! Thank you for the kind words.

I'm only 4 months into my Invisalign treatment, and my lower jaw is already expanded. Thank you Dr. Passamano!

[@drpassamano]

Your smile is only going to get better! Excited for you and your new smile!!!

My daughter is 6yrs old. She has a high palate and tapered arch, 36mm intraarch distance between maxillary first molars. Her dentist recommended clear aligners phase 1 (spark) for her, but would this expand her palate? Or would a removable palate expander be better to start?

[@drpassamano]

Great question! Clear aligners are not really designed for skeletal expansion. It is standard in the orthodontic profession to use a Maxillary Expander for what you are describing. I do have a new video about Invisalign Palate Expander coming out soon which is a newer alternative to the Traditional Expanders. I would probably stay away from clear aligners for skeletal expansion. You can still do clear aligners for teeth alignment, but not recommended skeletal expansion. Hope that helps!

Are you looking to get a wider / broader smile with Invisalign?

[@user-yx8gf4eb9q]

Can spark also widen as much as Invisalign or is the plastic weaker? How would you think upper midline correction can be achieved with Spark? I got suggestion to have a beneslider that pulls back teeth but it freaks me out to retract teeth..I don't want collapsed face or breathing issues..

[@drpassamano]

Great question ... There are now alternatives to Invsialign today vs 5 years ago when Invisalign was the main clear aligner on that market. Spark can absolutely do expansion just like Invisalign can. As long as you have space for your tongue, then beathing issues don't usually arise from orthodontic treatment.

@@drpassamano Thank you so much for answering!

[@Millie4222]

Can this be done on an adult successfully? My dentist will be doing a new scan at tray 13 so could I ask to try for a wider fuller smile?

[@drpassamano]

Great question! The amount of expansion/jaw widening will be determined on your size of the jaw / amount of bone you have to house your teeth. If you have bone available to move teeth into, then you can absolutely expand as an adult. The issue with adult expansion is that you won't grow new bone like a teenager would during growth spurts. Short answer is YES, if you have bone to move teeth into otherwise you will get gum recession. Hope that helps!

im getting invisalign for my gaps in my teeth but can it also fix my narrow smile?

[@drpassamano]

Tricky scenario ... When you close gaps, you are effectively making the arch length smaller which constricts the jaw ---> the opposite of widening. It depends on how much rotation/crowding vs gaps between your teeth. If you have more rotations/crowding, then fixing a narrow smile is more realistic. If you have just gaps and no crowding, then you might not be a good candidate for widening.

[@crayoneater1717]

@@drpassamano my teeth are angled inwards a little (or alot) atleast my bottom ones, will invisalign bring them out more ?

[@drpassamano]

@@crayoneater1717 Another good question. Invisalign is not really designed to procline (forward angulate) teeth in the absence of crowding. If you have spacing, then I would say no. If you have crowding, then I would say yes. If you have neither spacing or crowding, then your teeth angulation will likely stay the same. Hope that helps!
