How Invisalign® treatment works
Transforming your smile is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Just three simple steps can give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
The Invisalign treatment process
3 Simple Steps. 1 Great Smile.
Step 01
Meet with Your Doctor
Using a state-of-the-art iTero Element™ scanner, your doctor will quickly and precisely create a detailed, 3D scan of your current smile and map out the custom treatment plan for your new one. So, you’ll know what exactly to expect at every step. Plus, you’ll even see a sneak peek of what your new smile could look like.
Step 02
Begin the Transformation
When you pick up your first set of Invisalign aligners, your orthodontist will check them to make sure that they fit correctly and are as comfortable as possible. Your orthodontist will also schedule a series of regular, face-to-face check-ups to give you each new batch of aligners and monitor the progress of your new smile. As part of the process of shifting your teeth during your treatment, you’ll be swapping out your aligners often.
Step 03
Look after your new smile
Like all teeth straightening treatments, including braces, once you’re done with your Invisalign treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth straight. Depending on your orthodontist, you’ll be offered custom-made Vivera™ retainers that are crafted using the same technology as your Invisalign aligners, or another retainer brand.
Proprietary multi-layer polymer engineered for predictable, comfortable tooth movement with superior fit.
Small tooth-coloured shapes that give aligners the grip to rotate and tip teeth with precision.
Trimmed to match your gumline exactly from a 3D digital scan — no sharp edges, maximum comfort.
How your treatment plan is created
Just like people, no two plans are quite the same.
After scanning your current smile, your doctor will use advanced tech like ClinCheck® treatment planning software to create a custom-made plan for your new one that’s as effective as possible.
