the care of Dr Minal Shah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Invisalign worked to gently straighten her teeth, improving both the look and comfort of her smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, implantologist Dr Shahrokh Ali Navaee worked closely with Minal to plan the next step: creating enough space in Jess\u2019s upper teeth for a future dental implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This careful, step-by-step approach meant that Jess\u2019s treatment was designed not only to make her smile look great, but to give it longevity too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
