How Does Invisalign Treatment Work for Patients?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that offers a comfortable, convenient, and virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. With this aligning technology, you can achieve a beautiful, confident smile without the hassle and discomfort of wires and brackets.
The treatment process begins with a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist. They will take X-rays, pictures, and dental impressions of your teeth to create a custom treatment plan just for you. Then, you'll be given a set of clear aligners that you'll need to wear for about two weeks each. You'll need to visit our orthodontist or dentist every six weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Most people finish their Invisalign treatment within 12 to 18 months, although the exact timeline may differ in your case. After your teeth are straightened, you'll need to wear a retainer to keep them in place.
Steps Our Dentists Follow When Providing Invisalign Treatment
Our team follows these steps for creating Invisalign aligners:
Take Accurate Impressions: Actual impressions of the patient's teeth are crucial for creating Invisalign aligners that fit correctly. The impressions should capture the shape and position of the teeth, as well as any bite issues.
Use Advanced Technology: Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create aligners customized to each patient's needs. This technology allows the aligners to be made with precision and accuracy.
Follow the Treatment Plan: These aligners are typically worn for a specific amount of time, according to a treatment plan created by our dental professional. We recommend patients follow this plan to ensure that the aligners effectively straighten their teeth.
Monitor Progress: Throughout the treatment process, we monitor the patient's progress to ensure the aligners work as intended. Adjustments may need to be made to the treatment plan if necessary.
