Wheel alignment covers toe-in?

Wheel alignment covers toe-in?
Is toe in even the right term? I need an alignment on my max when I get the front wheels changed. I know that if you have a wheel pointing straight and the other off to a side, then an alignment would cover that. Will it also cover the case where a wheel is slightly bending in? It's nothing you can see with your eye, but I can see after burning through this set of tires that the inside on my front right is slightly more worn than the outside. THanks

that's camber you're talking about.
toe is both wheels being pointed in the same direction front/back.
camber is how much the top of the tire leans in/out compared to the car.
an alignment should cover both of those, assuming the shop does it properly.
BUT.. inside edge tire wear can be cause by either problem.
If you're lowered, you may need to get some camber bolts to help adjust it back into spec- but of course you won't know that until you get it to an alignment shop to check the numbers.
