What learning would you share with other Invisalign providers?
Post alignment visualization improves doctors' ability to see the maximum benefit from orthodontic repositioning of teeth alone. Clear aligners cannot change the size and shape of teeth and in fact will only make such discrepancies more obvious and often worse than the aesthetic outcome at the sake of orthodontic idealism combination approaches, including both orthodontic and restorative pathways are often required to achieve both functional orthodontic idealism as well as achieving the aesthetic demands the patient desires.
What contributed most to this treatment being successful?
The incorporation of pre-restorative alignment and visualization maximize tooth position and minimize biological sacrifice to allow for aesthetic idealism.
