Will invisilign work just as well without having your teeth shaved?!


Question:

Will invisilign work just as well without having your teeth shaved?


Answers:

To treat overcrowding using Invisalign, the dentist might need to do Interproximal Reductions (IPR), which involves shaving off up to 0.25mm of enamel on the sides of some teeth.

This is necessary to create the room required for the teeth to fit into a nice flowing archform. If there is extreme overcrowding, sometimes extractions might be necessary to create the space.

Hope this helps.
