Can i use invisalign if i grind my teeth?

June 3rd, 2009

Q.
I have crooked teeth but also have a teeth grinding problem which is called bruxism and my dentist has given me a night gard to wear. Is it possible to have invisalign if i grind my teeth my dentist said I will need traditional braces because i will ruin the invisalign aligners if i grind my teeth at night and also I wont be able to wear the night guard if i am wearing invisalign at night. HAve you ever treated somebody who suffered from teeth grinding with invisalign? Is there any other options for me if invisalign is not suitable like the inman aligner or damon braces. I just dont want the big metal braces .
