CAN I SWITCH TO ALIGNERS IF I'M WEARING BRACES?
CAN I SWITCH TO ALIGNERS IF I'M WEARING BRACES?
TROUBLE SHOOTING From DIGITAL ORTHODONTICS - Solo Edition by Dr. Bak Nguyen
The answer is yes. You can go from one to the other. Just know that now you are paying for both fees. Unless it was a hybrid treatment planned from the beginning, you might not want to spend the extra time or resources to change from one technic to the other. It has to make sense, if you ask me.
Some movements are easier and faster with braces but those, your attending knew from the beginning. Plan a course of treatment and if your body is not responding, you may look for alternatives.
What makes less sense to me are the people starting with braces and, halfway through, want aligners. It is possible and I am sure that you have a perfect explanation, just keep in mind that you are now paying the liabilities coming with both technics, on top of the fees related to them.
