Do I need a tooth filling before or after Invisalign?

noorulqamarJul 3, 2019
Hi , my dentist told me that I need filling in 3 tooth. But the problem is that I have to get Invisalign after that. Now I am confused if the tooth filling will create problem between Invisalign treatment or not. Can I have filling after the Invisalign treatment or is it necessary to fill first?

Neither the bonding nor the Invisalign are to blame. The orthodontist is correct in saying that the aligners should not brake the bonding. At the same time the dentist that has done the bonding is not to blame either. Your bite is to blame. That is why the orthodontist and dentist are working...

If you are satisfied with the position of your teeth- there is no benefit for continued refinements. Just order the Vivera retainers.

Hi and thank you for your question. I think you case will work without rubber bands, although they are often helpful. I anticipate that you bite will get better with using Invisalign and IPR.All the best to you.
