What is Invisalign?
State-of-the-art advances in dental science and
technology are now available to you with Invisalign.
When you see what's involved, you'll know why
Invisalign is a great step forward in straightening
teeth.
 |
1. Clear Choice Orthodontics evaluates and
creates a program of treatment. Photos and impressions of your teeth are taken. |
 |
2. A CT scan (Computed Tomography or
CAT scan), is made from your dental
impressions. The CT scan produces an
extremely accurate, 3-dimensional digital
model of your teeth.
|
 |
3. CAD (Computer Aided Design)
software is then used to simulate the
movement of your teeth during treatment.
|
 |
4. Your doctor reviews, modifies, and
approves the treatment plan before the
aligners are created.
|
 |
5. Invisalign then uses advanced
stereolithography (SLA) technology to build
precise molds of your teeth at each stage of
your treatment. |
 |
6. Individualized, custom-created
clear aligners are made from these models
and sent to your doctor's office.
|
 |
7. You'll wear each aligner for
approximately two weeks. Your doctor will
monitor your progress until you have a
wonderful smile.
|
Although the entire
process sounds easy enough, each aligner represents
the apex of technology specifically designed to
straighten only one person’s teeth—yours.
