Invisalign© is a system of custom made clear aligners that are worn over the teeth to gradually move teeth into their desired position. They’re a “virtually invisible” alternative to traditional braces, and are just right for people who don’t want to draw attention to their treatment.

Here’s a brief breakdown of the process for Invisalign© treatment at Deer Park Dental:

Step 1: No charge consultation

Step 2: iTero scan of mouth and teeth/gums + x-rays/photos

**iTero scan is a digital scan of the mouth that allows the creation of 3-D models of a patient’s teeth and gums for treatment planning

Step 3: Creation and presentation of customized treatment plan by dentist

Step 4: Aligner fabrication

Step 5: Wear aligners for 20-22 hours a day for the duration of the treatment

**treatment time frame varies on a case by case basis depending on need (generally 6-18 months)
