Invisible Aligner Treatment Steps

Starting aligner treatment is quick and easy! After an exam by one of our doctors and a set of records we can determine if Aligner treatment is right for you. Once you begin treatment, you will follow the next steps:

1. Our doctors will complete an intra-oral scan of your teeth, which typically takes less than five minutes and eliminates the need for an impression. The scan provides us with a digital model of your teeth and we are then ready to begin your aligner treatment.
2. Our in-house 3-D printer allows us to fabricate your custom set of aligners within just a few days.
3. Typically patients will be required to wear each set of aligners for 22 hours each day and for anywhere from 7-14 days each, depending on the severity of your case.
4. Some general soreness or “tightness” usually accompanies each transition to a new aligner. However, the esthetic and nearly invisible appearance of the Aligners, as well as the improved hygiene, have quickly made this treatment option highly sought after.
