The Invisalign® Process: Your Journey to a Perfect Smile
Transforming your smile at Dental Care Delray is a smooth, high-tech, and comfortable experience. Unlike traditional metal braces that require messy impressions and painful wire tightenings, our Invisalign process is designed completely around your comfort and convenience.
Here is what you can expect when you choose to upgrade your smile with us:
Step 1: Your Personal Adult Orthodontic Consultation. Every great smile starts with a conversation. During your initial visit, our team will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your teeth to ensure Invisalign is the right fit for you. We treat a wide range of adult orthodontic conditions, including overbites, crossbites, spacing issues, and crowding.
Step 2: Digital Impressions & Custom Mapping. Say goodbye to the uncomfortable, gooey impression putty of the past! We use advanced 3D digital scanning technology to take precise, comfortable images of your teeth. These images are used to map out a highly predictable digital treatment plan. You will even get to see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like before you even wear your first aligner!
Step 3: Receiving Your Custom Aligners. Based on your digital map, a series of custom-crafted, clear, BPA-free plastic aligners will be created just for you. We will ensure your first set fits perfectly and give you all the instructions you need. You will wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Step 4: Progress Check-Ins & Changing Aligners. Every 1 to 2 weeks, you will seamlessly transition to the next set of aligners in your series. Each set will gently and gradually shift your teeth closer to their final positions. We will schedule brief check-ins at our Delray Beach office every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor your progress and hand off your next batches of aligners.
Step 5: The Final Reveal & Brightening. Once you have worn your final aligner, your teeth will be in their optimal, beautiful positions! To celebrate your new smile and protect your investment, we include one premium set of retainers and a professional take-home teeth whitening kit with every Invisalign treatment. Your smile won’t just be perfectly straight; it will be dazzlingly white.
