Step 1

Book Your First
Consultation

We will start by checking your smile to determine if Invisalign may be right for you. Next, we will use a digital scanner to produce a 3D image of what your smile may look like with Invisalign treatment. Further diagnostic records may be required depending on your case.

Develop a Custom
Treatment Plan

Because every patient's teeth are different, a custom treatment plan is required. Based on the decisions made in your first appointment, we will plan an Invisalign treatment process with timelines. Your plan will include the specific movement of your teeth that will come with each set of aligners.

Start Your Custom
Treatment Plan

We will create a series of custom Invisalign clear aligners just for you. You will wear them each day, taking them out to eat, brush and floss. As your treatment continues, your aligners will begin to shift your teeth, with the goal of correcting the orthodontic issues discussed during the consultation.

Switch Your Aligners
Every Two Weeks

About every 7-14 days depending on the complexity of the case, you will switch to your next set of clear aligners. You and your dental team will also check in briefly – every six weeks or so – to review your progress.
