How Invisalign Works: Step-by-Step
-
Consultation & Digital Scan
We begin with a thorough exam and a digital 3D scan of your teeth (no messy impressions!). This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan and preview your future smile. -
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your aligners are designed based on your digital scan and treatment goals. Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks, gradually moving your teeth closer to their ideal positions. -
Wear & Replace Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (except water), and brush your teeth. Most patients receive new aligners every 1–2 weeks. -
Regular Check-Ins
You’ll visit us every 6–8 weeks so we can track your progress and provide your next sets of aligners. -
Finish with a Retainer
After completing treatment, you’ll wear a retainer (usually at night) to help keep your teeth perfectly aligned.
