Invisalign and pontic?

#1 Post by ESbraces »

I am almost done with my lingual braces and I am about to get one crown on an implant canine tooth and a flipper for another tooth which will get an implant later. Once my braces are removed, I will have an Invisalign retainer with a pontic (fake tooth) put into the appliance. I will have a flipper for when I eat. Obviously, this will make for some awkward runs to the bathroom before each meal to make sure I can make the switch. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this Invisalign pontic. I will never be without either the flipper or the Invisalign since the pontic is my canine tooth and I am embarrassed to be seen without a tooth there.

Sorry about the triple post. I wasn't sure how to edit the post, but I meant my lateral incisor teeth.
