- Check up and Consultation
Teeth must be deep cleaned by a dentist before braces are placed. If other oral care treatments are needed, such as periodontal disease treatment, cavity fillings, or tooth extractions, they should be completed before orthodontic treatment as well.
- Treatment plan:
- Xray: Panorama, Cephalomatric
- Take photo
- Take X – ray CT ConeBeam 3D (If needed)
- Scan 3D by iTero 5D (After the teeth impressions are made, your custom treatment plan will be created using 3D technology)
- Dentist making Clincheck (Custom treatment plan is made)
- When you accept treatment, once approved, the digital models are transferred to a production facility and the Invisalign are made, and begin the process.
- Placement of Invisalign:
- Dentist make the bonding attackments on your teeth (In addition, your Invisalign provider may use attachments to further perfect your smile. In some cases, tooth-colored composite “bumps” may be placed on your teeth that help the aligner grip the teeth better, which can then result in the desired tooth movement)
- You’ll change out the aligner trays every 1 to 2 weeks. Each set of aligners will slowly move the teeth into the correct position. For effective teeth straightening, you must wear them for about 20 to 22 hours a day.
- Follow-Up Visits:
- You’ll receive several sets of Invisalign aligners at once, which you will need to change every two weeks or so. You will only need to visit a professional every 6 weeks or so.
- For an at-home Invisalign treatment plan, all of your check-ups will be done remotely, every 6 weeks or so. You will also have access to the company’s network of remote orthodontists or dentist in case you need help.
- Invisalign treatment time is usually between 12 and 18 months (Depend on case)
- After treatment is complete:
- A custom clear retainer is made from a mold of your newly straightened teeth.
- Retainers should be worn every night while sleeping to ensure malocclusion does not recur over time.
