About Invisalign

Consultation: You start by consulting with a qualified Invisalign provider, usually a dentist or orthodontist, who will assess your teeth and discuss your treatment goals.

Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, your provider will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They'll show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move throughout the treatment and what your smile will look like at the end.

Custom Aligners: Based on the treatment plan, a series of custom-made clear aligners are fabricated specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn.

Wearing the Aligners: You'll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position. You should wear the aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.

Progress Checkups: Approximately every 6-8 weeks, you'll have checkup appointments with your Invisalign provider to monitor your progress and receive the next set of aligners. These appointments are crucial for ensuring that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Final Results: Once you've completed wearing all sets of aligners, your teeth should have moved into their final positions, achieving the desired alignment and bite correction.

Retention Phase: After completing the active phase of treatment, your provider may recommend wearing a retainer to maintain the results and prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Retainers may be removable or fixed behind the teeth, depending on your specific needs.
