The Consultation

The Invisalign process begins with a consultation, where the dentist or orthodontist assesses the patient's teeth and creates a customized treatment plan. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a series of clear aligners are then created specifically for the patient.

The Process

The aligners are worn for about 20 to 22 hours a day, and they are replaced with a new set every 1 to 2 weeks. Each set of aligners applies gentle pressure to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position. Patients typically visit their dentist or orthodontist every 4 to 6 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners.

Key Advantage

One of the key advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible, making them less noticeable compared to traditional braces. Additionally, the aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene compared to fixed braces. 

Duration

Invisalign treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most treatments take approximately 12 to 18 months to complete. It is important for patients to follow their dentist's instructions and wear the aligners as directed to achieve optimal results.
