Invisalign, which would help improve the positions of his teeth and treat the cause of the wearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem a drastic move for a chipped tooth, but the analysis showed us that the teeth had moved over time, meaning that any restorative work would have failed, had we not moved the teeth into the right position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment began, and once they were in the right position, we carried out composite bonding to rebuild the chipped front teeth, and help protect them from further wear \u2013 a cost-effective way to protect and improve, and taking nothing natural away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18 months later, and Keith\u2019s smile was a very different story, and a great example of how Invisalign can help with more than just aesthetics \u2013 it also helps that Keith\u2019s now got a smile he really likes too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a
