The Invisalign Process
1
Your initial appointment
At your first appointment, your dentist at Morden Dentist will study your mouth and talk to you about your cosmetic dentistry wishes. Your dentist will tell you if Invisalign is right for you. If you are a candidate for Invisalign, you will discuss the treatment protocol, estimated treatment length and costs.
2
Taking impressions of your teeth
The next step is the digital imaging process. Digital scan, photographs, and x-rays create an accurate model of your teeth. These are sent to the Invisalign laboratory for your custom aligner trays to be created. You will also see what your final smile will look like in 3-D imaging.
3
Fitting the first aligner
When your Invisalign trays are ready, you return to the practice. Your dentist may fit small attachments on your teeth to help the trays stay in place. They are clear, painless to install, and temporary. Your dentist will check that your aligners fit and explain clearly how to look after them and what to expect.

Follow-up appointments
You will receive an aligner for every planned tooth movement made during treatment and will need to change the aligners every 7-14 days depending on your plan. Aligners must be removed for eating, brushing/flossing and contact sport but otherwise must be worn at all times. If worn as prescribed, normally 22 hours per day, you will get the results you are looking for. A few weeks after your first tray is fitted, your dentist who will check your tooth movements. You will be given new sets of aligners to change as the treatment progresses.
5
Straighter teeth
After a period of time, your teeth will have straightened to the desired position. The final results always depend on the severity of misalignment, but if worn as prescribed, you are guaranteed to have straighter teeth.
Retainers: after completing treatment you will be given retainers to keep your smile straight. Then off you go to enjoy your incredible new smile.
