How Does Manhattan Invisalign Work?

Not only can misaligned teeth make you feel self-conscious, but they can also increase your risk of cavities as bacteria can get trapped between your teeth. With Invisalign, you can correct these issues in a discreet, low-maintenance way. At Parsons Smile Center, we support you before, during, and after your treatment to ensure you achieve your desired results. While every patient is different, you can expect the following steps during the Invisalign process:

• First appointment: During your first appointment, we closely examine your teeth and oral health and discuss your goals to determine if you would be a good candidate for Invisalign.
• Digital molding: If you qualify for Invisalign, we continue the process by taking a digital mold of your teeth using scans, photographs, and X-rays. These are used to create your custom aligners, also known as trays.
• First tray fitting: When your trays are ready, we will apply small, tooth-colored attachments to some of your teeth that help hold the aligners in place. Then, we fit your first set of trays and review the course of your treatment.
• Changing trays: Every few weeks, or once your teeth are ready, you can switch your aligners to the next set in the series, bringing you closer to an even smile. You repeat this step until you have reached your last set of trays.
• Follow-up appointments: Periodically throughout your treatment, you will have follow-up appointments to check on your teeth’s alignment and progress. Unlike traditional braces, you don’t need to return for regular appointments, making Invisalign much more convenient.

Depending on what your teeth looked like before starting Invisalign, the process can take anywhere between a few months to over a year to complete. However, this is still a faster alternative to traditional braces, which often take several years to fully align teeth. We understand you may have questions about Invisalign treatment, so please get in touch with us today to discuss your options and if this process is right for you.
