So you are ready to perfect your smile with easy and comfortable Invisalign treatment—congratulations! Now is the time to learn a little bit more about how you will go through the Invisalign treatment process. Here’s a quick breakdown from our Tinley Park Invisalign dentists…
1. Getting to know you
Right off the bat our dental team will meet with you to find out what you want to change about your smile. We’ll take a look at your teeth to make sure that Invisalign can achieve the changes you want to see in your smile.
2. Customization
Next, we will take an impression of your existing smile—this serves as the “starting point” of your Invisalign treatment. From this initial mold, Invisalign will craft a series of aligners that take you from point A to point B.
3. Monitor your progress
Every two or three weeks you will need to change the aligner that you are wearing. The aligners are meant to be worn consecutively, so that each aligner moves your teeth a little bit more. During this process you will come in to our dental office periodically so that we can assess your progress, and make sure that you are seeing the results you want.
4. At-home care
Throughout the Invisalign process, you will simply brush and floss your teeth as you usually do. You will also cleanse your aligners daily to prevent plaque build-up. Most patients find that it is quite easy and fast to care for their teeth while they straighten their smiles with Invisalign.
As you can see the Invisalign treatment process is truly built to be patient-friendly. If you want to learn more about how Invisalign aligners function, our Orland Park Invisalign dentists are here to help you out. Feel free to contact our helpful team when you are ready to get started!
