Invisalign: Case 4

Description

This patient came to our Culebra office, which is located conveniently close to Lackland AFB. He wanted to straighten his teeth with Invisalign but was worried about whether he was a candidate due to the gum loss around his maxillary canine. We assured him that he could be successfully treated with Invisalign and carefully staged his treatment in a way that it aligned his crowded lower teeth and improved the vertical overlap of his front teeth without causing any additional gum loss on the tooth he was concerned about. Two of his children had been patients in our practice previously, so he received a family courtesy on his treatment, which made him smile even more. He mentioned that his favorite thing about Invisalign was how it was so easy to make appointments that fit with his work schedule.
