Are there any treatments like invisalign to treat dental fluorosis?

Want something immediate, non-drastic, and non-permanent… Something to make it not noticeable…
Feel free to suggest any other treatments for dental fluorosis.
I know that Invisalign does not treat dental fluorosis. But was wondering if there was something like that out there, that we could take on and off, and maybe could make the dental fluorosis not that noticeable.

Invisalign does NOT treat dental flourosis. It only moves the teeth into a better relationship with each other.
The treatment of dental flourosis depends on how severe it is. If it is not severe sometimes some reshaping can be done. But that would be permanent. Veneers can be done that are not permanent, but you might call that drastic. And veneers can be done that are permanent. Unfortunately whitening usually does not work, but in some cases it does.
Other possibilities get further from your criteria.
If you are going to have orthodontic treatment done, you want to do that probably first before treating the flourosis.

Fluorosis is not an orthodontic problem. So the answer is no.

bleaching and whitening products will not help fluorosis. Unfortunately the discoloration happened when the tooth was forming. the best way to get rid of it is to have veneers placed. However those are permanent and alot of work.
