What Is the Process of Invisalign?

Hi, Dr Linda here from Sunbury Dentist, which is part of the Dental House Group.

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth, you’ve probably heard of Invisalign. But you might be wondering, “What’s actually involved in the process, and how does it work?

Well, Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually straightens your teeth without the need for traditional braces. It’s discreet, comfortable, and designed to fit into your lifestyle.

Here’s how it works:

The first step is your consultation.

This is where we sit down, chat about your goals, and assess your teeth and bite. Using our software, you’ll be able to see how your teeth will move to realign your smile. Pretty cool, right?
The next step is receiving your custom aligners.

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll start wearing them daily. They’re clear, removable, and made just for your teeth. Every couple of weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each one gently shifting your teeth into place. For the most predictable results, make sure you’re wearing them for at least 22 hours a day.
Now, what’s really important is the regular check-ins.

We’ll see you every few weeks to check on your progress and make sure everything’s moving along as planned. These appointments are quick and straightforward, so you don’t need to worry about taking too much time out of your day.
The final step is completing treatment.

Once we’ve reached your ideal result, you’ll move into the retention phase. At this point, we’ll provide you with retainers to keep your teeth in their new, straight position.

The best part is, throughout the entire process, you can remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and special occasions. So, your lifestyle can stay uninterrupted.

So, if you think Invisalign might be the right fit for you, or you’re just curious to learn more, give us a call or fill out the form on our website, and we’ll help you organise your consultation. We’d love to help you get the smile you’ve always wanted!
