What’s the Process?
Using a digital scanner, your teen’s dentist will scan their mouth. The scanning process is fast and painless and avoids the need to take a plaster mold.
Next, the dentist will upload a picture of your teen’s mouth to a screen where your teen can see a 3-D image of their mouth. Then, your teen’s dentist will build a simulation of what their mouth will look like at the conclusion of treatment.
After your teen’s appointment, their dentist will craft a treatment plan and send the scans of your teen’s mouth to the Invisalign laboratory. After the lab finishes making your teen’s Invisalign aligner trays, they’ll be sent back to our dental office.
The Aligners
Your teen will receive Invisalign clear aligners made with the Invisalign system’s proprietary SmartTrack™ material, which is smooth and comfortable. Throughout treatment, you can check your teen’s compliance through an indicator on the aligner. Your teen will wear the aligners for 22 hours per day, but can easily remove them before meals, brushing and special events.
