What are the steps in getting Invisalign? If you are interested in straightening your smile with invisible aligners, the first step is scheduling a consultation with our orthodontist in LA. At your appointment, we will perform a visual exam, check your bite, and take dental X-rays and other records. The information we gather will be used to diagnose your orthodontic problems and develop a treatment plan.
The next step is to design your smile. We use a virtual 3D model of your smile as the basis for your treatment plan and adjust the position of each tooth until your bite is perfectly balanced and your teeth are perfectly aligned. These plans are sent off to the dental lab, where your aligners will be made. Once you receive your aligners, you will wear each set for about two weeks. You can take your aligners off for meals or when you brush and floss. However, you do need to wear them about twenty to twenty-two hours a day to see the best results possible.
The final step in treatment is retention. Once active treatment is complete, you will wear Invisalign retainers, which help hold your teeth in position, preventing relapse or shifting in response to everyday bite forces. Call our office today to get started with Invisalign and to schedule your appointment with our Invisalign specialist in Los Angeles.
