Should I start Invisalign if I might move in a year?+
It depends on what needs moving and how likely your move is. Share your possible timing during an assessment, and then you can compare starting now, waiting, or choosing another option.
Can another dentist take over if I relocate?+
It may be possible, but that’s not something to assume, as it would depend on the other office and your stage of treatment. Raise it before you start so you can plan accordingly.
Can I take a bunch of trays with me and carry on alone?+
Please ask first. Progress has to be checked in the mouth, and aligners can stop tracking without you realizing, so unmonitored treatment has real drawbacks.
Can I get copies of my records if I leave?+
Ask the clinic how a records request works for you. It’s useful to know this ahead of a move instead of working it out from afar.
Would braces be easier or harder if I move?+
Braces also require follow-up, and being fixed in place, they would need someone qualified to continue or remove them. Your dentist can talk through this comparison with you.
What about my retainers if I’ve moved away?+
They need to be worn as prescribed wherever you are. Keep them in a case, and get in touch with a dental office if a retainer breaks or no longer fits.
