What will my teeth look like after Invisalign
My patients get excited about Invisalign because they offer the patient the opportunity to view a computer simulation of their treatment from the beginning to the end. Since you are a visual person ask your dentist to view this simulation. Its called a ClinCheck. Good luck

How will my teeth look after tx.
One of the great things about Invisalign is that one can look at the final dental postions (and the stages of treatment) BEFORE you actually approve the treatment. After the invisalign impressions are sent in to the company a virtual 3-D "movie" is made to show the movements and final result. Your doctor can show you this "Clincheck movie" and it is the best visual way to explain how things correct!
