The Invisalign Process at Vancouver
Orthodontics
Your custom-made smile program
 Your
treatment plan begins with a consultation with an experienced
Invisalign provider. During that consultation, you and your
doctor will discuss the options to treat your particular issue.
Once your doctor confirms that your issue can be corrected with
the Invisalign system, he or she will write a detailed treatment
plan that determines how each of your aligners will change
throughout your program. When you begin treatment, you'll wear
each set of aligners in approximately two-week increments. The
aligners gently move your teeth into position, and at the end of
each two-week period, you "graduate" to the next set of custom
aligners.
As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will
begin moving, little by little. And you don't have to wait until
you complete treatment to see your smile change—you may start
seeing positive changes early in the process. You will have
occasional checkups with your doctor—often as little as once
every six weeks—in order to gauge your progress. And at the end
of your treatment, you'll be showing off a smile you never knew
you'd have before you had Invisalign.
Before you schedule your consultation with an Invisalign
provider, it's a good idea to take the self-assessment to figure
out if the Invisalign system is for you. Then take the results
with you to your initial consultation.
Your lifestyle. Your schedule.
So how long will it take to finish your treatment? For most
adults, treatment time is just under one year. Of course, your
total treatment time depends on your particular situation, so
it's important to speak with your doctor about how your
situation and goals fit into an Invisalign treatment program.
You're in control of your treatment's success. Take them out to
eat, drink, and brush your teeth. But the more you wear your
aligners, the better. You're on your way to the smile you've
always dreamed of!
