With experience, doctors can use Invisalign to treat the majority of adults and adolescents. Invisalign is a valuable tool that doctors can use to build their practices by providing quality treatment and increasing patient satisfaction. Selecting the right type of case is a key component for accomplishing your Invisalign treatment goals. It is important to understand that Align does not treat patients; you, the doctor treat your patients with Invisalign. Therefore treatment choices and case selection should always be based on your individual level of experience.
