#79: Clear Aligners and Dental Implants: Which one first?!

Clear Dental Aligners and Dental Implants

Which one first?!

In this informative episode of The Wonder Tooth Podcast, Dr. Radwa Saad answers a question many patients (and even some clinicians) wonder about: If I need both clear aligners and dental implants—what comes first? With decades of experience in cosmetic and implant dentistry, Dr. Saad breaks down the clinical reasoning behind treatment sequencing. She explains why orthodontic alignment with clear aligners is often done before implant placement to ensure ideal spacing, bite correction, and long-term aesthetics. However, in certain cases, Dental implants could be placed in parallel with Clear aligners. Since implants are fixed in place once inserted, aligning the natural teeth beforehand allows for more precise implant planning and avoids complex restorative compromises. The episode also covers real-life cases from Dent Blanche Dental, what to expect during the process, and how modern 3D scanning and digital workflows make combining both treatments seamless and efficient.
