Both general dentists and orthodontists can do Invisalign treatment. Dr. Desai is a general dentist who is qualified to do the treatment. All the general dentists and orthodontists have to undergo the same training. Also, they need the same continuing education to deliver the treatment. However, the orthodontist may charge extra for the treatment as it is an expensive treatment.

Invisalign Treatment

The treatment can transform your smile whether it is in the hands of an Orthodontist or Invisalign dentist. The treatment involves aligning teeth with successively changing clear aligners. It is essential to wear the aligners for twenty-three hours a day. If not worn for the correct time, the treatment can extend. Clear aligners are very aesthetic, and, in most instances, it is not easily discernible with a direct vision.
