Q: Are teeth filing and braces necessary for Invisalign?
A:
Filing, or interproximal reduction, may be required to create space required to allow the teeth to move. It is common with any kind of orthodontic treatment, not only Invisalign. The aligners themselves are needed to move the teeth.
There could be many reasons for your dentist not showing work from or directing you to previous patients. In most jurisdictions, health care professionals are not free to divulge health records. Unless there is a signed consent, the dentist is actually working within the ethical standards. That being said, do your research before committing to a provider.
Best of luck!
