Initial Consultation
Your journey with Invisalign begins with an initial consultation at our Cherry Hill orthodontic office. During this visit, we assess your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. We’ll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
Custom Treatment Plan
If you’re a candidate for Invisalign, we’ll take digital scans of your teeth to create a 3D model. We’ll then map out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the treatment. You’ll even get to see a preview of your new smile!
Creating Your Aligners
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners will be created just for you. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, and then you switch to the next set in the series. The aligners apply gentle pressure to move your teeth gradually.
Routine Check-Ins
Every six to eight weeks, you’ll visit our office to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. We’ll provide you with your next few sets of aligners and make any necessary adjustments.
Maintaining Your Smile
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive retainers to help maintain your new smile. Retainers are crucial to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies, but many patients complete Invisalign in 12 to 18 months.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience some pressure or mild discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this usually subsides within a few days.
Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?
You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
For the best results, you should plan to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day.
