Invisalign Smile Architect®

Patient Chief Concern
Crooked teeth

What learning would you share with other Invisalign providers?
To resolve complicated problems, hybridization with palatal expander, prosthetic treatment should be involved. Smile Architect help manage space and anticipate the final tooth position; therefore unnecessary tooth preparation could be avoided.

What contributed most to this treatment being successful?
Rapid palatal expander used for regaining space for resolving crowding. Additionally, adequate calculation for prosthetic treatment was possible using Invisalign Smile Architect.
