Invisalign®: Step by Step
May 11, 2017
The process of getting straight teeth has evolved since the days of your childhood where metal braces and embarrassing headgear were the norm. More patients than ever are choosing the clear braces options of Invisalign®. With this convenient treatment option, you do not have to commit to two or more years of metal covering your teeth. You are put into the driver’s seat of control to improve your smile. At our offices, you can get the expertise of care from a prosthodontist, such as Dr. Richard Assing or Dr. Brenton Assing, when you are searching for Invisalign® in Brandon, FL. Here is the process from start to finish for patients choosing this orthodontic treatment.
Consultation
Invisalign® treatment begins with a consultation at our office. Our doctors will evaluate the condition of your teeth and together, we can determine if this type of therapy would benefit you. Once we have determined it is the right fit, we can plan the next step.
Strategy
Next, our office works with you to create a treatment plan to help you reach your goals for straight teeth. We can either take impressions of your mouth or use a 3D scanning tool to get a clear vision of what your current situation looks like with your teeth. Your doctor will then design a treatment timeline that addresses your needs.
Progress
The next step is for you to begin wearing the clear aligners. Over time as your teeth shift, we will swap out your aligners for a new set to help your teeth make progress toward the goal.
Maintenance
At the end of your official treatment with the Invisalign® trays, your mouth’s condition is evaluated. To maintain the look you have worked so hard for, you may need to wear night retainers for a period of time.
