Your custom-made smile program
Doctors planning
Your treatment plan begins with a consultation with an experienced
Invisalign provider. During that consultation, you and your
doctor will discuss the options to treat your particular issue.
Once your doctor confirms that your issue can be corrected with
the Invisalign system, he or she will write a detailed treatment
plan that determines how each of your aligners will change throughout
your program. When you begin treatment, you'll wear each set
of aligners in approximately two-week increments. The aligners
gently move your teeth into position, and at the end of each
two-week period, you "graduate" to the next set of
custom aligners.
As you progress
through the series of aligners, your teeth will begin moving,
little by little. And you don't have to wait until you complete
treatment to see your smile change—you may start seeing
positive changes early in the process. You will have occasional
checkups with your doctor—often as little as once every
six weeks—in order to gauge your progress. And at the
end of your treatment, you'll be showing off a smile you never
knew you'd have before you had Invisalign.
Before you
schedule your consultation with an Invisalign provider, it's
a good idea to take the self-assessment to figure out if the
Invisalign system is for you. Then take the results with you
to your initial consultation.
Your lifestyle. Your schedule.
So how long
will it take to finish your treatment? For most adults, treatment
time is just under one year. Of course, your total treatment
time depends on your particular situation, so it's important
to speak with your doctor about how your situation and goals
fit into an Invisalign treatment program.
You're
in control of your treatment's success. The more you wear your
aligners, the better. Take them out to eat, drink, and brush
your teeth. But the more you wear your aligners, the better.
You're on your way to the smile you've always dreamed of!
