The Invisalign System is a virtually invisible treatment that uses an innovative approach to effectively straighten teeth. Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made removable aligners with unique SmartForce technology that gradually moves your teeth to the ideal position.
Initially, your Invisalign-trained doctor will take photos and dental impressions to help create your treatment plan.
The maker of Invisalign clear aligners will then use these records, along with the treatment prescribed by your doctor to create a customized 3D treatment plan just for you. This treatment plan is used to develop your customized aligners and estimate the likely length of your treatment.
The customized aligners will be manufactured and shipped to your doctor’s office.
Your series of custom-made aligners will be given to you (typically 2-3 sets at a time) for you to wear everyday and change them at home every 2 weeks.
You’ll be visiting your Invisalign-trained doctor approximately every 4-8 weeks to monitor the progress of your treatment and receive the next series of aligners.
After you’ve finished your Invisalign aligner treatment, you will need to use retainers to help make sure the new position of your teeth is maintained.
