Many teens and adults choose discreet aligners for a subtle yet effective solution to straighten their teeth. This modern orthodontic treatment offers a comfortable and subtle way to correct alignment issues without the visibility of traditional braces.
With invisible aligners, you can confidently work toward a perfectly aligned smile while enjoying the flexibility of removable trays. Here’s what you can expect if you’re ready to begin your treatment:
- Initial Consultation – Your dentist will start by thoroughly examining your mouth, taking any necessary digital X-rays and scans. This step helps assess whether aligners are the best option for your needs.
- Treatment Planning – If you’re a good candidate, your dentist will develop a personalized plan to achieve your specific goals. We will capture 3-D scans of your teeth and send them to a lab to create your custom aligners. You’ll also be able to preview how your smile will look once treatment is complete!
- Wearing Your Aligners – Once your aligners are prepared, you’ll come back to pick them up. Your dentist will explain how to properly wear and care for them. You should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. You can remove them when eating or brushing your teeth.
- Finishing Treatment – Every one to two weeks, you will begin using a new set of aligners. Regular checkups will be scheduled to ensure everything is progressing as planned. Treatment typically lasts 6-18 months, depending on your specific needs.
