Yes. In fact Invisalign and composite bonding can work well together when the goal is to improve both the position and shape of your teeth. The order matters, though.<\/p>\n
Sometimes straightening your teeth doesn\u2019t quite give you the smile you had pictured. A tooth might still look slightly short. Another could have a chip or an uneven edge. Invisalign gets the position sorted while bonding can make changes to the visible shape afterwards.<\/p>\n
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured material that is shaped directly onto the tooth. Your dentist can use it to make a small tooth look longer or soften an edge. It can also close a gap when the final tooth position makes that appropriate.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Small chips can disappear without changing the tooth, which is often the nicest part.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A uneven edge? Bonding can tidy it up after Invisalign has finished moving things<\/p>\n
\u2022 looking teeth sometimes benefit from a little added length although your bite still has to work properly.<\/p>\n
Usually no. Putting bonding on teeth before they\u2019re moved can make the final result less predictable.<\/p>\n
Imagine adding material to a tooth and then asking Invisalign to move that tooth into a position. The bonded shape may no longer sit where it should once treatment is complete. So doing the work too early can mean adjusting it again later.<\/p>\n
Once your teeth have reached their planned positions your dentist can look at what needs changing. That\u2019s useful because sometimes you expect to need bonding and then realise you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
It works well if your teeth are generally healthy but their position and shape both bother you. Invisalign handles the movement. Bonding handles the details that remain.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t think of bonding, as a way to fix every cosmetic issue left after Invisalign. Large changes may need a treatment. Your dentist also needs to check your bite before adding material because making a tooth longer without considering how it meets the tooth can cause trouble.<\/p>\n
