What to Expect If You Choose Invisalign Treatment for Your Teeth 

Have you decided to do something about having crooked teeth? If you’re a good candidate for Invisalign, and you’ve chosen this as your treatment, knowing what to expect helps things go smoothly. Our orthodontists in Shawnee and Overland Park, KS, at Bulleigh Orthodontics provide the following info on how this treatment process works.

3D Scans or Impressions for Custom Aligners

We’ll need images of your teeth to create aligners that offer the right fit. This involves taking impressions or digital scans of your teeth.

Preparing Your Teeth and Gums for Treatment

If you have any oral health issues, we’ll need to address them before you start wearing your aligners. That means having tooth decay, gum disease, or other problems treated.

First Visit to Receive Aligners

We’ll have you come in to pick up your aligner sets. During this visit, we’ll show you how to put them in and take them out. You’ll also receive detailed instructions on your aligners, like how to clean them and how long to wear them each day.

Follow-Up Visits During Treatment

Our orthodontic team will need to check your progress as you go through treatment. That means coming in for appointments every so often, such as every couple of months or as often as recommended.

Retainers to Maintain Results

When you’re done with your aligners, we’ll provide retainers to wear for several more weeks or months. These help keep your teeth in their new positions.
