INVISALIGN AND TMJ

Hello D E L E T E D!

Thanks for writing! I say no problem, however Invisalign is good for
some cases, and less good for others. I am going to repost at
sci.med.dentistry and will try to get more information (and some
discussion) for you.

You can search by the title INVISALIGN AND TMJ or I can send you the
link in DEJA if you cannot find it.

Dear Sir,



Last year you posted a few messages in the sci.med.dentistry
newsgroup:



You seem to be very knowledgeable of the Invisalign system (surely
more now since your message was published over a year ago).  I have a
TMJ problem that manifests when I open my mouth a big deal, like when
yawning (no pain at all, though).



Is there a problem to use invisallign in my case?  I don’t mean to
correct TMJ with it, but other problems also (they aren’t too severe).
If Invisalign is not recommended having a TMJ issue, do you think
lingual or normal brackets would be compatible with it?



I would greatly appreciate your input.





Kind regards
