I have overcrooked teeth, will I need to have a tooth extraction before my Invisalign treatment?

February 20th, 2012

Hello,

I am looking to get my teeth treated through Invisalign as they are quite badly over crowded. I have been advised that I will either need extraction or IPR. I would much rather IPR than extraction, however I am concerned about the amount needed to be taken off each tooth.

Thank you in advance,

A.
