Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, so it’s understandable to want to feel good about it. Cosmetic dentistry can address concerns like discoloration, chipped teeth, gaps, and other imperfections, helping you create a smile that feels more like your own.

But the potential benefits aren’t only about appearances. Improving your smile can influence how you feel, how you care for your teeth, and even how comfortable you are in everyday situations.

One of the exciting things about Invisalign aligners is that you can watch your smile gradually change throughout treatment. Each new set of aligners is designed to move your teeth a little closer to their planned positions. But what happens when your teeth don’t seem to be keeping up?

If your aligners aren’t fitting the way they should or your teeth don’t appear to be moving according to your treatment plan, you may be experiencing what’s known as a tracking issue. Fortunately, there are several possible reasons this can happen.
