The Invisalign Treatment Process
During your initial consultation, we discuss your lifestyle and orthodontic needs to evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.
Using the iTero® Digital Scanning System, we generate lightning-fast, accurate 3D digital images of your mouth. From there, we map out your precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and treatment duration. You even get to see a digital rendering of your full treatment and preview your new smile.
Your custom aligners are made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. For the best results, wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We usually recommend switching to a new set of aligners weekly and scheduling checkups every six weeks.
You’ve worked hard during treatment. Keep your smile healthy and vibrant with a Vivera® retainer, which is custom-made using the same innovative technology as Invisalign clear aligners.
