What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign uses sets of custom-made clear aligners that fit over the teeth, gradually shifting them into the right position. These aligners are designed using digital impressions and advanced technology. Once a patient works their way through the series of custom aligners, they’ll have a brand new, more confident smile.
The Invisalign® Process
The first step in the Invisalign process is taking digital impressions of your smile.
These digital impressions are then used for treatment planning and creating sets of customized clear aligners. From the information collected, our orthodontists can give you an idea of the expected treatment time, as well as how many sets of clear aligners will be needed for you to complete treatment.
Once you have your customized clear aligners, you can begin to wear the first set right away. Each set is worn for approximately two weeks at a time before switching to the next set. Each patient has different alignment needs, but on average patients typically receive between 12 and 30 sets of aligners.
