Are there any alternatives to filing down teeth during Invisalign treatment?

Doctor's Answer

Great question! It is very common to file teeth during Invisalign treatment to create spaces to move the teeth to the correct position.

However if the crowding is too severe, then the alternative will be to extract teeth. An assessment by the orthodontist will be able to determine if filing is necessary and the position for filing the teeth.
