How Invisalign® Works and What to Expect
Invisalign® clear aligner treatment utilizes a progressive series of custom-made, clear aligners that are fabricated from a soft, flexible plastic. These aligners gradually shift your teeth, correcting mild to moderate dental issues. While each patient is unique and each treatment plan is carefully customized, here is a look at the general steps of the Invisalign® clear aligners process:
- New Patient Invisalign® Consultation – We will do a comprehensive dental exam, take dental x-rays and 3D images, and discuss your medical history and dental concerns. We will determine if you are a good candidate for treatment, and make sure you know what to expect.
- Treatment Planning – We will create a personalized treatment plan for you according to Invisalign guidelines.
- Fabrication of Custom Aligners – Your plan and dental images will be sent to an Invisalign-approved dental lab, which will custom-fabricate your aligners. They are made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic that is comfortable and virtually invisible.
- Instructions and Guidance – When your aligners arrive, we will check their fit and give you instructions and guidance for use. You will need to commit to wearing them for 20-22 hours per day, including while you sleep. You may remove them to eat, play sports or exercise, clean them, and complete your oral hygiene routine.
- Regular Check-Ups – We will have you come in for regular dental exams and check-ups.
- Progressive Movement and Refinement – As your treatment progresses, you will switch to a new set of aligners for each stage.
- Post-Treatment Care – When treatment is complete, we may recommend refinement trays or a retainer to further perfect your results or maintain your straight, beautiful smile.

- Rinse aligners carefully under warm running water.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and special toothpaste to remove food particles, debris, and bacteria.
