How Invisalign worksYour Invisalign treatment will start with a dental examination by an experienced Invisalign dentist. He will examine your teeth to see if Invisalign is suitable for you, if so, an impression (mould) of your teeth will be taken. The impression will then be sent to Invisalign for processing. Photographs and x-rays will be also taken of your teeth and smile from different angles.At the Invisalign laboratory, using the latest computer imaging, a three-dimensional model is created. The model is used as a basis to generate a simulation of your teeth movement from their current position to the final desired position. Your dentist will then discuss the treatment plan with you.Invisalign will use the computer simulation to fabricate a series of custom made aligners to fit your teeth exactly. Each aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position.You will wear the aligner day and night, only taking them out to eat, brush and floss, for approximately two weeks, before moving on to the next aligner in the series.You will be given strict instructions on how to use and look after the aligners. They must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day. The success of the treatment highly depends on your compliance as a patient and requires dedication.
