The Invisalign Treatment Process
Achieve a Straighter Smile in Just 5 Steps
Invisalign from St. Laurent Dental Centre offers a convenient treatment option for many adults and teens looking to straighten their smiles without the need for brackets and wires.
Step 1
Book Your First
Consultation
Your dentist will begin by examining your smile to determine whether Invisalign is right for you. Next, we will use a digital scanner to create a 3D image of your smile and show you what it could look like with Invisalign treatment.
Step 2
Develop a Custom
Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment and your smile goals, we will map out a personalized Invisalign treatment plan including timelines. Your plan will include the exact movement of your teeth which will occur with each set of aligners.
Step 3
Start Your Custom
Treatment Plan
We will produce a series of custom Invisalign clear aligners just for you. By simply wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours each day, removing them to eat, drink, brush and floss, they will gradually begin to correct the positions of your teeth.
Step 4
Switch Your Aligners
Every Two Weeks
Approximately every 2 weeks, you will switch to the next set of clear aligners in your series. You will also have brief checkups with your dental team – every six weeks or so – to review your treatment progress.
Step 5
Maintain Your
Straight New Smile
It's an exciting day when you reach the end of your treatment! When you visit us for your final appointment, we will discuss next steps, and prescribe retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions.
