The Invisalign® Process: What to Expect at Dentist of Anaheim
The Invisalign® treatment process is very convenient, and tailored to your smile goals. Using a custom series of clear aligners, your teeth are gradually shifted into place. Each step of the process is carefully planned to deliver effective results in less time than traditional braces.
1.
Initial Consultation:
Your journey with Invisalign® begins with a one-on-one consultation with our orthodontist. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your bite, alignment, and overall oral health to determine if Invisalign® is the right option for you. We’ll also take digital X-rays and go over your treatment goals, so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
If Invisalign® is the right fit, we’ll use advanced 3D imaging technology to map out a personalized treatment plan. This plan shows how your teeth will move over time and gives you a preview of your future smile. Your custom aligners will be made to fit snugly and comfortably, guiding your teeth into their ideal position.
3. Wear Your Aligners
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll start wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day. Every 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll switch to the next set. We’ll check in with you periodically to monitor progress and make sure everything is moving as planned.
