A halo occurs when there’s a visible gap between your teeth and the edges of your aligners. This can happen if your teeth aren’t tracking properly in Invisalign or if you’ve missed wear time.
- Why it happens: Skipping wear hours, misfitting trays, or naturally slower tooth movement
- What it looks like: A thin, sometimes visible space around the teeth that prevents aligners from fully seating
- Why it matters: The Invisalign halo can signal delayed treatment and may require adjustments to get your teeth tracking again
By spotting an Invisalign halo early, you can take corrective steps to keep your treatment on schedule.
