Step 1

Book Your First
Consultation

We will begin by examining your smile to determine if Invisalign is right for you. Next, we will use a digital scanner to create a 3D image of your smile and what it could look like with the Invisalign treatment.

Step 2

Develop a Custom
Treatment Plan

Based on the decisions made in your first appointment, we will map out an Invisalign treatment plan with timelines. Your plan will include the exact movement of your teeth to occur with each set of aligners.

Step 3

Start Your Custom
Treatment Plan

We produce a series of custom clear aligners for you. You will wear them each day, removing them to eat, drink, brush and floss. As your treatment progresses, your aligners should gradually shift your teeth.

Step 4

Switch Your Aligners
Every Two Weeks

Approximately every 2 weeks, you will switch to the next set of clear aligners. You will also have brief checkups with your dental team – every six weeks or so – to review your progress. 

Step 5

Maintain Your
Smile After Treatment

It's an exciting day when you reach the end of treatment! During your final appointment, we will discuss the next steps, and prescribe a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions.
