The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation
At your initial consultation, your dentist will assess whether Invisalign clear aligner therapy is a suitable option for you. The first step is examining your oral health to detect any gaps or crowding and check that your gums are healthy enough for treatment. Additionally, you will discuss your smile goals with your dentist and together determine a treatment plan that is tailored to meet your specific needs and lifestyle.
Digital Impressions
Next, your dentist will take digital scans of your teeth and bite using advanced imaging techology. After the digital impressions are made, your dentist will review them for accuracy and make any necessary adjustments before sending them off to the Invisalign lab.
Fitting & Next Steps
After we receive your clear aligners, you will return to our office, where your dentist will carefully check their fit. You will receive detailed instructions on how to wear and take care of your new aligners. Most patients will wear each set for approximately 1-2 weeks, and at least 20-22 hours per day. You will periodically return to our office to pick up your next few sets of aligners. During those visits, your dentist will check to ensure that your smile is progressing as planned.
