Should Teeth be Shaven and Bonded Before or After Invisalign?

April 27, 2011
Asked By:T in Texas in Galveston, TX

Looked healthy before. I wanted to remove 1 bottom veneer (illusion of straight teeth.) Front teeth bunched over 2 side teeth. Extract problem back teeth. Got Invisalign to straighten before replacing extracted teeth. Assumed better to let Invisalign move my teeth, then put in implants? Composite fills the Invisalign tray until then. Why isn't there clear "button" composite? Hate my fat front teeth, hope 2 shave & bond to longer front teeth Should I have shaved/bonded before invisalign?
