Step 1:
Visit our dental office in Overland Park. |
 |
During this first step you
will need to make an appointment with either Dr. Scott or
Williams.
During the initial visit, the doctor will help
you decide on your course of Orthodontic treatment. He will take
bite impressions of your teeth and send them, along with a set
of precise instructions, to Invisalign ®. |
Step 2:
Invisalign ® makes your aligners |
 |
Invisalign ® uses advanced 3-D
computer imaging technology to transform your bite impressions
into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There
may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12, depending on
your individual treatment plan. |
Step 3:
You receive your aligners in a few weeks. |
 |
During your next visit to
our office, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your
doctor will most likely give you a few additional sets for you
to wear before you return for your next visit. |
Step 4:
You wear your aligners ( clear braces ). |
 |
You'll wear each set of aligners (
clear braces ) day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them
only to eat, drink, brush, and floss your teeth. Total treatment
time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case.
You'll visit your Invisalign® dentist - Dr.
Scott or Williams - only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment
is progressing as planned. |
Step 5:
You've finished Invisalign®
treatment! |
 |
Congratulations! When you're
finished wearing each aligner in the series, your orthodontic
treatment will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile
you've always wanted. |
