Dental Procedure for Invisalign

The procedure for Invisalign is initiated through a complete analysis of the patient's dental condition. The dentist evaluates the patient's mouth with the help of a small concave mirror and  X-Rays obtained from the digital imaging system. An ideal treatment plan is drafted for the patient and explained through 3D images to the patients. 

The impressions of the teeth are obtained and sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of multiple Invisalign aligners. The dentist places the Invisalign aligner on the teeth and checks for any adjustments. The patient should wear the aligners for 22 hours a day to attain effective results. The duration of treatment varies considering the dental condition of the patient.
