INVISALIGN - CLEAR ALIGNERS
1. START WITH A CONSULTATION WITH YOUR DENTIST:
Your doctor will examine your teeth and show you what Invisalign treatment can do for you.
2. GET YOUR PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLAN:
Start with a fast, precise digital scan (no goopy putty required). Then your doctor will map out a custom treatment plan just for you. You'll even get to preview your new smile.
3. YOUR ALIGNERS ARE CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU
Your aligners are custom made for you in the largest, most advanced mass customization process in the world.
4. APPOINTMENT TO PICK UP YOUR FIRST ALIGNERS!
From the first day of treatment to the last, you're never on your own — your doctor will be with you every step of your way.
5. THE INS AND OUTS OF LIVING WITH ALIGNERS:
- DON’T STOP LIVING YOUR LIFE
Keep eating all your favorite foods.
Stay active in all the sports and activities you love.
Keep brushing and flossing just as you normally do, with no brackets or wires to get in the way.
You'll experience fewer emergency visits, without the hassle of brackets and wires breaking.
Your Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, so people may not even notice you’re wearing them.
- Wearing your aligners
You'll be ready for anything, from movie night to coffee with friends. Just take your aligners out to eat and drink, then brush your teeth before putting them back in.
Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for best results.
Parents, your teen's aligners will have blue compliance indicators to assure you they’re wearing them enough.
Getting new sets of aligners
You'll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, as prescribed by your doctor.
You’ll probably schedule check-ups every six to eight weeks to check your progress and pick up the next batch of aligners. Fewer doctor visits mean more time to enjoy life.
When you start wearing each new set of aligners, you may feel a little extra pressure or discomfort for the first few days, which is totally normal.
Cleaning your aligners
Rinse your aligners every night and brush them gently with your toothbrush to keep them fresh and clean.
Use the Invisalign cleaning system to keep your aligners clear.
STRAIGHT TEETH ARE HEALTHIER TEETH
When your teeth are properly aligned, the health benefits are clear:
Healthier Gums - It’s easier to brush and floss around properly aligned teeth, and you are less likely to have pockets between gums and teeth that trap bacteria.
Improved Hygiene - Properly aligned teeth reduce plaque retention, tooth decay, and the risk of gum disease.
Less Wear and Trauma - Aligned teeth reduce the risk of tooth chipping, breaking, and wear, which can require expensive procedures to repair. Proper alignment also reduces stress on the jawbone and joints.
