Invisalign Treatment Steps
Initial Discussion
Clinical evaluation by the doctor, to find issues that need to be corrected. You will know which Invisalign plan you would need.
Oral Scan/Putty Impression
An oral scan is done, and a physical impression of the jaws is taken for processing.
Virtual Plan
In about a week's time, you receive a treatment plan made by Invisalign. Once you approve, manufacturing of aligners starts.
Delivery of Aligners
In 3 - 4 weeks, when aligners are received, you visit the clinic for attachment bonding and can take home your aligners. Wear aligners as per the plan.
Review Visits
Invisalign patients are encouraged to visit for a review once every 8 weeks. This helps in determining if the progress is as per plan.
Completion & Retainer Phase
Once you have worn all the aligners and alignment is achieved, the retainer phase starts. Retainers will preserve the results and prevent relapse.
You are covered by 'Center for Dental Implants & Esthetics' assurance of treatment as per patient approved plan.
Your chosen Invisalign plan offers, refinements, corrections and treatment validity. Please discuss the same with doctor.
You have option of choosing treatment plan only for one jaw. Invisalign offers that option in all its plans except 'comprehensive plan'.
Extracting teeth is required to make space. This space is needed to push/pull teeth in position. We believe in trying out 'Non Extraction' or conservative way.
Conservative way is, no extraction, use of interproximal reduction technique, buttons, appliances, and TADS. Most cases can start without extraction. If achieved is alignment is not satisfactory, extraction can still done at a later stage.
Duration of treatment depends on degree of mis-alignment or type of correction needed, On clinical evaluation and oral scan doctor would be able to give you an estimate of duration.
Invisalign recommends wearing aligners for 21 hours for the best results. If you miss or are not able to wear aligners for the required duration, your treatment will be delayed.
The current aligner must be worn for additional days/hours so that the teeth move, and the next aligner fits properly.
Invisalign treatment requires you to visit twice initially - Consultation and scan, in the delivery visit we need to attach the smart attachments.
For review we suggest visit once every two months paired with monthly, remote - video or picture review.
