The procedure

The stages involved in your treatment include:

Stage 1: Your initial Consultation

During your first visit we will address all your dental needs and concerns and assess your suitability for treatment with Invisalign. If you decide to go ahead with treatment we will take bite impressions and photographs of your teeth.

Stage 2: Your clear aligners are custom-made

Invisalign technology uses advanced 3D computer imaging to transform the bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There maybe 20 to 30 in the series or as few as ten, depending on your individual treatment plan

Stage 3: You receive your new aligners in a few weeks

During your next visit to us, you will receive your first set of aligners. Each set of aligners should be worn for two weeks. Depending on your situation, small adjustments to the teeth maybe required, sometimes a tooth removed to create space, but often no additional procedures.

Stage 4: You wear your aligners

You'll wear each set of aligners day and night, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You will change your aligners every two weeks as your teeth gradually move. Total treatment time averages approximately one year, but will vary from case to case. We will require you to visit us every six weeks or so to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Stage 5: You've finished treatment!

Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have the perfectly aligned smile you've always wanted.
