The four steps to obtaining invisible dental aligners as an alternative to traditional braces
Dr. Nicholas R. Garcia and his team at Dr. Garcia General and Cosmetic Dentistry is a reliable and trusted dental provider in the area of Baltimore, Maryland. He is committed to ensuring his local patients have access to the latest revolutions in dentistry to provide quality care. While misalignment of the smile and bite can occur, it doesn’t have to remain that way! With invisible dental aligners known as Invisalign, patients can realign their smile without gluing brackets and wires onto the teeth. Let’s take a closer look at Invisalign clear aligners and the steps needed to obtain them.
What is Invisalign?
Dr. Nicholas R. Garcia describes Invisalign clear aligners as an alternative to metal braces provided by an orthodontist. These clear aligners are custom-made to fit each of our patient’s teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces and orthodontia, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed by the patient for eating, brushing, and flossing.
What are the steps required to obtain Invisalign clear aligners?
The four steps to getting invisible dental aligners at Dr. Garcia General and Cosmetic Dentistry include:
- Consultation. The first step to getting Invisalign aligners is to request an upcoming consultation with a provider who is trained and certified in the Invisalign system. During this initial appointment, your doctor will evaluate your teeth and determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
- Custom Treatment Plan. If you are deemed suitable for the Invisalign treatment, your dentist will take digital impressions of your teeth using advanced 3D scanning technology. These images will be used to create a custom treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth during each stage of the Invisalign process.
- Aligner Fabrication. Once your treatment plan is finalized, the next step is to fabricate your custom Invisalign aligners. Using digital impressions, a series of clear plastic aligners are created specifically for your smile and treatment plan.
- Regular Check-Ups and Progress Tracking. Throughout your treatment journey, you will have regular check-ups with our dental team to monitor your progress and ensure the aligners are working as intended. Your dentist may also provide you with new sets of aligners as needed to continue progressing toward your desired results.
