How Invisalign can Transform Your Smile in 5 Easy Steps 

Invisalign uses 3D-generated aligners to apply controlled pressure on your teeth, moving them gradually into a healthier, straighter position. The Invisalign system is complex, but the treatment is simple. Here is a walkthrough of the five easy steps to achieving your dream smile with Invisalign. 

1. Consultation: The first step is a smile evaluation tailored for you. The dentist will comprehensively evaluate your teeth, jaws, and overall oral health to establish your eligibility for Invisalign. Although Invisalign has its limitations, it’s effective for numerous orthodontic issues, including spacing, overcrowding, and malocclusions (overbites, underbites, crossbites, etc.).
2. Advanced 3D scanning: The dentist will scan your teeth with an intraoral scanner, which creates a 3D model of your teeth in minutes. There are no messy, gag-inducing dental impressions. Our digital scanner is comfortable, quick, and precise—just how you like it. Next, the dentist employs advanced Invisalign software to simulate your treatment plan, accurately predicting how and when each tooth will move into place perfectly.
3. Aligner fabrication: Our Invisalign lab will fabricate your aligners based on the treatment plan. The aligners are created from the patented SmartTrack, a thermoplastic material with remarkable comfort and durability. The aligners must be worn for at least 20-22 hours daily but can be removed during meals and teeth-cleaning sessions. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks, and every time you graduate to the next set in line, your teeth move a step closer to perfection. 
4. Routine check-ups: Approximately every 6-8 weeks, you’ll visit our dental office to ensure your treatment progresses as expected. During these regular check-ups, we’ll monitor whether your treatment is on track and make any adjustments if necessary. A significant benefit of Invisalign check-ups is that they are quick and straightforward. Unlike conventional braces, there are no wires or brackets to adjust. Your doctor simply checks your treatment’s progress to ensure everything is per expectations. 
5. Maintain your long-lasting results: After 12-18 months, it’s time to reveal your new smile! Your teeth will have shifted into proper positions, giving you a straighter, more confident smile. Once you complete treatment, the dentist will recommend a retainer to ensure your teeth stay in their current positions. Your new smile will give you the confidence to enjoy life to the fullest in professional or social settings. 

Teens and adults love Invisalign because of its discreetness. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, so you can go on about your day without feeling self-conscious. Whether at work or enjoying good moments with friends, you’ll straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
