Your Invisalign Consultation
The first step is a one-on-one consultation with our dental team. We’ll listen to what you would like to change about your smile and evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. This is also your opportunity to ask questions about Invisalign, treatment time, costs, and what you specifically can expect throughout the process.
Because Invisalign treatment is customized to each patient, we’ll determine whether clear aligners are a good fit for your needs. If you have existing dental concerns that should be addressed first, we can discuss those with you as part of your treatment plan.
Creating Your Treatment Plan
Once you decide to move forward, our team will create a personalized plan designed around the movement of your teeth. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners, and each set gradually guides your teeth toward their planned positions.
Fielder Park Dental uses advanced technology to help provide precise, personalized dental care. Our practice also offers digital smile preview software, allowing you to better understand the potential changes to your smile before beginning treatment.
Wearing Your Invisalign Aligners
After your aligners arrive from the lab, we’ll have you come in to try your first set on and ensure that they fit property. For the best results, it’s important to follow your provided instructions and wear your aligners as directed. Otherwise, your treatment plan may need to be adjusted or extended. Regular check-ins allow our team to monitor your progress and make sure your treatment is moving forward as planned.
You’ll also receive instructions for wearing and caring for your aligners once you receive them. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can easily take them out when eating, drinking anything besides water, brushing, and flossing.
Enjoying Your New Smile
After your teeth have reached their planned positions, you’ll be able to enjoy your straighter, more confident smile! Once your treatment is complete, you will need to wear a custom retainer to keep your new smile perfectly in place. Our team will use a digital scanner on your newly aligned teeth to create a retainer for you as part of your treatment plan.
