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. An Invisalign Certified Dentist evaluates
and decides if your orthodonyic needs are within the scope of
Invisalign 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 fabricated.
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 persons teeth...yours.
