Why integrate tooth movement into your aesthetic practice?
Elevate aesthetic outcomes
Pre-restorative alignment prevents interference with malocclusion, clearing heavy contacts, providing a stable occlusion foundation, allowing for a functionally stable and long-lasting restorations.2,3,4 .
Respond to growing demand
Patients frequently prefer tailored, comprehensive treatment plans that address their specific concerns, even if it involves a high cost and longer treatment time.5
Accelerate practice growth
45% of restorative procedures could benefit from tooth movement5. Unlock this opportunity for your practice.

Case study: Discover the clinical impact of pre-restorative alignment
This case study highlights the possible outcomes with pure restorative or ortho-restorative techniques.
Irregular spacing
In cases where teeth are unevenly spaced such as a diastema (A), veneers may be required to fill the gap and create the desired aesthetic result
Without pre-restorative tooth alignment
In this case, the width to height ratio of veneers was altered to cover the diastema. This approach may result in an unintended black triangle and disproportionate upper incisors (B).
With pre-restorative tooth alignment
When the spacing is redistributed before restorative work begins (C), veneers can be made with ideal proportions to produce a more natural, pleasing smile (D).*

*Case courtesy of Dr. Cristina Viyuela, Spain. The diastema was closed, but the treatment resulted in poorly contoured, disproportionate teeth and the black triangle. The lateral incisors were also restored with either direct (composite) or indirect (ceramic) veneers that are poorly shaped and disproportioned. The final post-Invisalign® treatment result is likely a combination of either aesthetic gum recontouring or edge composite bonding of the centrals, whitening, and veneers on the laterals.
