We start by checking your teeth and gums to make sure there's nothing that needs sorting first, and to confirm Invisalign suits your case. This is also where you can ask about cost and timing with no pressure to book treatment.
Instead of the old putty impressions that make people gag, we take a digital scan of your mouth. We use it to build a 3D plan and show you on screen roughly how your teeth will move and where they'll end up.
That plan is used to make your personal series of aligners. Each tray is slightly different from the last, which is how your teeth move gradually rather than all at once.
You wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush. Every week or two, you move to the next tray in the series. We see you now and then to check progress.
Once your teeth have reached the position we planned, treatment is done. We'll fit you with a retainer to keep them there, because teeth do try to drift back without one.
