Is X ray neccessary for Invisalign consultation？

PitouguaiguaiMar 29, 2017
I visited a top 1% provider in my area for invisalign consultation. He just did some manual checks of my mouth,teeth,bones and jaw and an ITero scan.

It may be that there is excess resin around the attachments or that the attachments are too bulky. I would suggest your seeing your dentist as soon as possible for possible adjustments.
