Invisalign® Treatment Process
Getting Started with Invisalign®
Embarking on your Invisalign journey at McQuiston Dental and Aesthetics is a straightforward and exciting process. It all begins with a consultation with an Invisalign® trained doctor. During this initial visit, the doctor will thoroughly assess your teeth to determine if Invisalign is the right orthodontic treatment for you. If you’re a suitable candidate, the next step involves taking precise dental impressions of your teeth.
These impressions are crucial as they form the foundation of your personalized treatment plan. Your custom treatment plan will map out the exact movements of your teeth and the number of aligners you’ll need to achieve your desired smile. During this consultation, your doctor will also discuss the Invisalign® treatment cost and address any questions or concerns you may have, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable with the process.
Wearing Invisalign® Aligners
Once your personalized treatment plan is ready, you’ll receive your first set of Invisalign aligners. These clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly and are designed to be worn for 20-22 hours each day.
Typically, you’ll wear each set of aligners for 7-10 days, depending on the specific movements required and the severity of your case.Adhering to the recommended wear schedule is essential for achieving the best results. Regularly cleaning your aligners is also important to prevent damage and maintain good oral hygiene.
By following these guidelines, you’ll be on your way to a straighter, more confident smile.
