Proper Invisalign tracking is a crucial part of the teeth alignment process. It refers to how well the aligners fit onto your teeth and follow the treatment plan designed by your orthodontist. The success of Invisalign treatment primarily hinges on this important factor.

Invisalign aligners, unlike traditional braces, rely solely on their perfect fit to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Each aligner is meticulously crafted based on your teeth’s structure and the outcome desired. Therefore, when your aligners are not tracking correctly, they are not able to apply the right amount of pressure on your teeth, which can hinder the progress of your treatment and extend its duration.
