Why combine them
Why have Invisalign before composite bonding?
Composite bonding can change the shape, length and edges of your teeth, but it can’t move them. If teeth are crooked, bonding alone has to be built out thicker to hide it, which can look bulky and wear faster.
Straightening first puts every tooth in the right place, so the bonding can be thinner, more natural and more durable. It often means fewer teeth need bonding at all, and it can avoid the need for veneers.
- Less material, more natural: straight teeth need only fine layers of composite
- Kinder to your teeth: bonding usually needs no drilling, and straight teeth need less of it
- Longer-lasting results: evenly aligned teeth share the bite, which protects the bonding
- One plan from start to finish: we plan the alignment and the final shape together from day one
