Invisalign Treatment Procedure at Mellert Dental Associates

Consultation and Evaluation

Your Invisalign journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we assess your dental alignment and overall oral health. Using state-of-the-art technology, we capture detailed digital scans of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. These digital impressions allow us to create a precise 3D model of your teeth, which we use to design a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Custom Treatment Plan

Once the digital impressions are complete, we craft a personalized Invisalign treatment plan that outlines the step-by-step process of aligning your teeth. Our advanced 3D technology maps out how your teeth will shift throughout the treatment, showing you the expected final result before you even begin. This custom approach ensures an accurate and efficient alignment process, with each set of aligners working to achieve your perfect smile.

Wear Your Aligners

You’ll receive a series of clear, custom-made aligners to wear throughout your treatment. These aligners are designed to be worn for 20-22 hours a day, only removed for eating, drinking, or brushing. Every 1-2 weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners, as your teeth continue to shift incrementally towards their ideal positions. This gradual process makes the treatment comfortable and effective.

Regular Checkups

To monitor your progress and ensure everything is moving as planned, you’ll have routine checkups every 6-8 weeks. These visits allow us to assess your progress, address any concerns, and make any necessary adjustments to your aligners or treatment plan, ensuring optimal results.

Achieve Your Perfect Smile

Invisalign treatments are typically completed within 6 to 18 months, depending on your case. By the end of your treatment, you’ll have the straight, healthy smile you’ve always wanted, without the inconvenience of metal braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies from person to person based on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment takes between 12 and 18 months. However, some patients may start seeing results in just a few months. Your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat or drink?

No! One of the advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink whatever you like. Simply remove your aligners before meals and put them back in after brushing your teeth.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

To keep your aligners clean, rinse them every time you remove them and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive. Invisalign also offers specialized cleaning crystals for thorough cleaning.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, offering a more aesthetic approach to straightening teeth. They are removable, allowing for easy eating, brushing, and flossing, while also providing a level of comfort that metal braces can’t match.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign offers discrete treatment, convinience to remove and reapply aligners as per your convinience, and each set is tailored to your needs.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?

For people suffering from overbite, underbite, crossbite, crowded teeth, gapped teeth and crooked teeth.
