“Do dentists shave teeth after Invisalign?”

Hello, and thank you for the question. Not sure what you mean by shave teeth" After invisalign to provide a more balanced bite, sometimes we do selective recontouring. The amount of tooth removed is extremely minimal, thousandths of a millimeter. We are adjusting an inert part of the tooth, the enamel. Teeth often have several millimeters of thickness in the areas we adjust. This will not create sensitivity, but an improper bite can create sensitivity. This will not make your tooth more prone to decay or breakdown. Bite equilibration is a normal and common finishing technique to stabilize the final bite after any orthodontics, be it traditional braces or Invisalign.

It may be indicated in some cases.
Consult with a board certified orthodontist to check if it is needed in your case.

This question requires clarity. Thanks.
