Will I need to have teeth removed?

[Pablo]

Hi

I am considering having Invisalign because I have teeth crowding mainly of my top teeth. I have heard that crowding needs teeth extractions which I am not keen on. Can you tell me if Invisalign also needs teeth removed or can it be done without.

Invisalign uses the latest 3-D computer technology to calculate the amount of crowding, and the exact amount of space needed to resolve the crowding. therefore removing the need for tooth extractions.

The space needed is spread in the exact areas needed to correct to crowding.

Very small amount of space is made between two adjacent teeth, the space varies between 0.2mm to 0.5mm ( that's 0.1 mm to 0.25mm per tooth surface) the procedure is completely painless.
