Invisalign is a game-changer in orthodontic treatment because it offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. At Melbourne Dental Vision, we're excited to offer Invisalign in Narre Warren, VIC, to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the hassle of metal brackets and wires. Here’s a friendly guide to walk you through the Invisalign process.
1. Initial Consultation
During this visit, we'll evaluate your dental health, discuss your smile goals and determine if Invisalign is the proper treatment. We'll also explain the process in detail and answer any questions.
2. Customised Treatment Plan
If you decide to continue with Invisalign treatment, we will then take digital impressions of your teeth using advanced imaging technology. These images are used to create a precise, customised treatment plan that outlines the movement of your teeth throughout the entire process.
3. Receiving Your Aligners
Your custom aligners will be fabricated based on your treatment plan. When your aligners are ready, you will receive a series of them to wear. These aligners are made of smooth, clear plastic, making them a great choice for those who desire a discreet orthodontic solution.
4. Wearing Your Aligners
For optimal results, we recommend wearing Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. Patients can remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Each set of clear aligner trays gradually move the teeth into their correct positions.
5. Progress and Adjustments
Throughout your Invisalign journey, you will have periodic appointments with our dental team to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits are typically shorter and less frequent than traditional braces appointments.
6. Completing Invisalign Treatment
To maintain your new straight smile, you may be provided with a retainer to wear at night. This helps ensure your teeth remain in their new positions. Without a retainer, your teeth can shift and move back into their original placement, which is referred to as ‘orthodontic relapse’.
