Can you get invisalign with cavities?

Just like how I must keep my thyroid levels in check before any new treatment, dental health also needs a solid base. You should get all your cavities filled and get a clean bill of health from your dentist first. Regular checkups are necessary during Invisalign treatment anyway to make sure everything is moving safely.

My orthodontist explained this clearly when I got my aligners last year. The Invisalign trays fit extremely tight on your teeth, and if you have untreated cavities, they can grow faster under the plastic tray due to trapped saliva and sugar. He did all my fillings first and then started the Invisalign scans two weeks later.

Haan na, you cannot start Invisalign directly if you have cavities, first they will do fillings. If you wear trays on top of decay, the tooth shape might change after filling them later and then the trays won't fit properly, ho na. So just get the cavities sorted out first from your dentist.

Bhai, common sense is simple here: clean the house before putting carpet on it. If you put Invisalign over cavities, the teeth will rot inside the aligners and you will end up with severe toothaches. Spend a little money, get the cavities filled first, then think about cosmetic straightening.

I totally get it, wanting to get your teeth straightened quickly is so exciting, and dealing with cavities feels like an annoying delay. But honestly, getting them treated first is the safest and least painful way. Once your teeth are healthy, your Invisalign journey will go so smoothly without any sudden pain.
