Invisalign for Minor Rotations — Whitening & Minimal Bonding

This was close to an ideal case for Invisalign: only minor rotations and mild misalignment, with a bite that was already well-founded and didn't need correcting. That combination meant treatment could stay simple and predictable from the start.

Invisalign was used to correct the rotations and bring the teeth into alignment, followed by home whitening to lift and even the overall shade. With the alignment and colour addressed, a light touch of composite bonding was all that was needed to restore the edges and bring the finished smile into harmony.

It's a good example of how, when the underlying bite is sound, a straightforward combination of clear aligners, whitening and minimal bonding can achieve a complete result without more invasive treatment.
