People of all ages can appreciate the sleek, discreet aligners, as well as the freedom that Invisalign treatment affords them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you might not necessarily know what getting Invisalign will entail, and how the process would compare to that of traditional braces. If you\u2019re curious, here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to what it takes to get Invisalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in getting your Invisalign aligner will be the consultation, during which your dentist will review your options and determine whether Invisalign is right for you. They\u2019ll also talk to you about what kinds of preliminary procedures you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it seems like Invisalign is the right option for you, your dentist will use sophisticated digital imaging software to create a 3D model of your smile. This will be loaded into customized software used to design your trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The designs will be sent to an external lab, where the series of plastic trays you\u2019ll be wearing over the next year or so will be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Receiving Your Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your aligners have been completed, you will visit your dentist to receive them. At this point, your orthodontic journey will begin in earnest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will begin wearing these trays for 20-22 hours a day and will have each set of aligners over the course of 4-7 weeks. When you run out of trays, you\u2019ll come back to the dentist\u2019s office to receive your next set of them. This will also be an opportunity for your dentist to take a look at your smile and ensure that you\u2019re in good oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process will continue for around 12-14 months, depending on the severity of your misalignment and how diligent you are with your dental treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Adjustment Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve completed the entire series of alignment trays, your dentist will take a look at your smile and determine whether your teeth are where they should be. If they aren\u2019t, it may be necessary to use additional adjustment trays in order to get your teeth into shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Retainer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your treatment is complete, you\u2019ll be given a retainer in order to hold your new smile in place. This retainer will look a lot like your Invisalign aligners, but how long you\u2019ll have to wear them will heavily depend on your unique situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re through with your retainer, you\u2019re done! You can enjoy your beautiful new smile for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Ridgefield Perfect Smile Center, we like to think that we can offer you everything that you could need to get the oral health that you\u2019re looking for.
