How does Invisalign® work?
The aligners are manufactured so that your teeth will move in small increments. When you put in a new aligner, your tooth mold is slightly straighter than your teeth currently are. This puts pressure on your teeth, and over the course of a week, your teeth will move to match the aligner.
As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will continue to move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. You’ll need to visit us about once every 6-10 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Three steps forward. No steps back.
- Once your Invisalign Provider has confirmed that you are eligible for treatment, they will take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. These records will be used to create a ClinCheck 3D treatment plan, just for you.
- After being custom-made and shipped to your Provider’s office, you’ll receive a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home - on average every 1-2 weeks.
- You’ll visit your Provider around every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners. After finishing your treatment plan, retainers will be required to maintain your new smile.
