What is the process of invisible removable aligner treatment?
During the initial consultation, your dental provider will discuss the issues you have with your teeth to see if Invisalign is suitable for you. If Invisalign is suitable for you, your dental provider will take impressions of your teeth and will send these to the Invisalign laboratories in USA for processing. The impressions of your teeth will be digitised in order for your dental provider to review a computerised 3D image of your teeth. Under general condition, you need to replace the aligners every 2 weeks. Aligners should be worn day and night, except when eating, brushing or flossing teeth. For the duration of the treatment, it depends on the condition of your teeth. The dental provider will arrange a schedule suitable for your condition. The treatment usually requires 12 to 24 months on average. During the entire treatment process, you'll notice small movements, and your teeth will gradually move into an even and healthy smile.
