This lady had five of her back teeth extracted at a young age, and she came to us to have dental implants to replace those missing teeth. Some of the teeth opposing to the missing ones had 'supra-erupted' causing inadequate clearance for implant crowns.
We placed the implants and used Invisalign to improve the clearance and straighten her remaining teeth. Six months later, after the teeth were straightened, crowns were attached to the implants. We did some teeth whitening and minimal composite bondings to finish her smile makeover.
Invisalign can be a great pre-restorative tool to move the dentition to the ideal positions before having them restored.
