The Invisalign Process
The Invisalign process begins with a consultation with one of our knowledgeable staff. During this consultation, your dentist will take images of your teeth as well as your mouth. They will then use these images to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate procedure for you. If it is determined that this is the best course of action, your dentist will send the images to our lab where custom trays will be designed. In your
follow up appointment, these trays will be checked for proper alignment.
Depending on the treatment plan your dentist has decided, you may be given additional trays that will be replaced every two weeks. You will also need to set up regular appointments with your dentists every few months to ensure that the alignments are maintaining integrity. If you experience any issues between these appointments, be sure to contact our staff to schedule a consultation or discuss the issue.
You can expect to wear your Invisalign aligners around 20-22 hours a day to ensure optimal results. If you follow these steps, you will soon have the straight teeth you have always wanted!
Caring For Your Invisalign
Like most dental procedures, the better you follow your treatment plan, the better your results will be. Make sure that you wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for best results. It is also important that you rinse your aligners each night and gently brush them with your toothbrush to keep them clean.
Aside from that, there are no restrictions in terms of your Invisalign. Just be sure to continue practicing good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice daily and continue scheduling dentist appointments every six months.
If you continue to take good care of your teeth, your teeth will continue to take good care of you!

The benefits of having an Invisalign procedure are substantial, and include the following:

Along with being more comfortable than traditional braces, Invisalign braces are also removeable. This makes it is easier to keep your mouth and braces clean. This also means they can be removed for any sporting events or while you are eating.
