Invisalign Clear aligners use digital technology for greater accuracy.This means that your treatment will be tailored specifically to you, and you’ll be able to see a virtual representation of your new smile before you even start wearing the aligners. Plus, the 3D program can tweak your aligner designs as the treatment goes along, if necessary.
Consultation: The first step is a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist trained in Invisalign treatment. The doctor will evaluate the patient’s teeth and take x-rays, photographs, and impressions of their teeth to create a digital 3D image.
Treatment Plan: The orthodontist or dentist will use the 3D image to create a personalized treatment plan, which includes a series of clear aligners that will be worn over a period of time.
Aligner Fabrication: Once the treatment plan is finalized, the aligners are custom-made using a specialized 3D printing process. Each aligner is designed to gradually shift the teeth into their proper positions.
Wearing the Aligners: The patient will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
Progress Checkups: The patient will have regular checkups with their orthodontist or dentist to monitor progress and receive the next set of aligners.
Completion: After the final set of aligners have been worn, the patient may need to wear a retainer to help maintain their new smile.
