A1. FALSE – Invisalign is completely customized to the individual patient. It all begins with an extensive set of measurements and impressions of your teeth. Invisalign uses three-dimensional computer imaging which allows you to view a sneak preview of what your teeth will look like when your entire treatment is finished.
