What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Understanding Invisalign
Invisalign, offered at Inspire Dental in Tigard, Oregon, is a modern orthodontic treatment using clear, removable aligners to gradually align teeth.
Invisalign Treatment Process
-
Consultation: Schedule a consultation at Inspire Dental. Our team will assess your oral health and discuss your goals to determine if Invisalign is the right fit for you.
-
Digital Impressions: If you're a suitable candidate, we'll take digital impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create your personalized treatment plan and design your custom aligners.
-
Receive Your Custom Aligners: You'll receive a series of custom-made aligners, each designed to make slight adjustments to the position of your teeth.
-
Wear Each Aligner: Wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. The aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
-
Regular Check-Ins: Attend regular check-ins with our team to monitor your progress. These appointments also allow us to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
-
Completion of Treatment: Once you've gone through all the aligners in your series, your treatment is complete! You'll be left with a beautifully straight smile.
Remember, the duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case but typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. Contact Inspire Dental to schedule a consultation and start your journey to a straighter smile with Invisalign.
