Bruxism—clenching or grinding—raises an important question: can you still do Invisalign? Often yes, but it requires a more careful plan. Bruxism increases bite forces, which can affect tracking, wear on attachments, and long-term stability if bite is not balanced. The goal is to align teeth while managing overload risk.
At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) evaluates wear patterns, jaw comfort, and bite contacts before choosing aligners vs braces. Aligners can act as a protective barrier, but they don’t “cure” bruxism. In deep bite or heavy-force cases, braces may provide more predictable control, or a staged approach may be recommended.
Key elements include close monitoring, bite adjustments when needed, and a strong retention plan after treatment. Many patients also benefit from a protective night guard after orthodontics, depending on stability and symptoms. Bruxism doesn’t automatically exclude Invisalign—specialist planning and follow-up are what make it safe and predictable.

Despite all modern advancements in oral and dental health, our teeth may gradually decay over time, and many of us can experience tooth loss due to injury or disease. Implant treatment is a method applied to prevent tooth loss and provide a healthier, more reliable, more aesthetic, and long-lasting solution. It involves placing artificial tooth roots—made of titanium and its alloys—into the jawbone to replace missing teeth.
