Your First Consultation At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you. Your Custom Treatment Plan We will use a scanner such as the iTero digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile. Your Invisalign Clear Aligners Your custom-made aligners will be made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening. Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss. Your Progress As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so. Taking Care of Your New Smile When your treatment is complete, ask us about a Vivera retainer. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners. To learn more about the Invisalign system and all your orthodontic treatment options, please feel free to schedule an appointment at our Fair Oaks orthodontic office. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a smile that’s made to move!
