Getting Started with Clear Aligners
Your Invisalign treatment starts with photos of your smile taken in our professional in-house studio to document the “before” and help plan treatment.
- Digital Treatment Planning — Dr. Talbert takes 3D scans that he uses to map out your entire treatment plan, from your first set of aligners to your last. The specialized software shows you how your teeth will move during treatment and even provides a preview of the final results.
- Custom Aligner Fabrication — An Invisalign lab custom-crafts a series of aligners using our precise specifications. Each set is carefully calibrated to nudge your teeth into their desired positions.
- Wearing Your Aligners — You will receive several sets of aligners, and you should wear each for a week or two before switching to the next set. For the fastest and most effective results, wear your aligners 20–22 hours daily. Remove them only for eating, drinking (except water), and oral hygiene.
Our team will schedule check-in appointments every 6–8 weeks to monitor your progress and provide your next sets of aligners. These brief visits help keep your treatment on schedule and ensure optimal results.
