Treatment Tip
Patients naturally are concerned about esthetics during their treatment, especially for extraction cases. Invisalign offers a pontic kit that is a great solution to this issue as the extraction site closes. Click here to learn more on placing pontics. Click here to learn more about Align's Protocols.
