How Invisalign Works: From Consultation to Perfect Smile

If you've ever dreamed of a perfect, straight smile but shied away from traditional metal braces, Invisalign could be the solution you've been waiting for. At Perkins Dental Care, we’re experienced in providing this innovative treatment to our patients, helping them achieve the smile they've always wanted without the inconvenience and discomfort of conventional braces.

The Initial Consultation

The journey towards your perfect smile begins with an initial consultation with Dr. James Perkins. During this meeting, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and discuss your smile goals. We'll also take a 3D scan of your teeth, which will allow us to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

• Examination: We'll check your teeth for any issues that may affect the treatment, such as cavities or gum disease.
• 3D Scan: This advanced technology allows us to create a virtual model of your smile, which we'll use to plan your treatment and predict the final result.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Once your treatment plan is ready, we'll order your custom-made Invisalign aligners. These clear, removable trays are designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.

• Custom-made Aligners: Your aligners are made to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment.
• Regular Check-ups: You'll visit our office every 6-8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide you with the next sets of aligners.

The Results

The length of your treatment will depend on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months. Once you've finished wearing your aligners, you'll be left with a beautifully straight smile that you'll be proud to show off.

• Retention: To maintain your new smile, you'll need to wear a retainer. We'll provide you with a custom-made retainer to ensure your teeth stay in their new position.
• Beautiful Smile: With Invisalign, you can achieve a perfect smile without the hassle and discomfort of traditional braces.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers numerous benefits over traditional braces. Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, but they're also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual. Plus, with no metal brackets or wires, you won't have to worry about mouth sores or injuries.

• Invisible: Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly.
• Comfortable: Made from smooth, flexible plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear and won't irritate your gums or cheeks.
