A Step-by-Step Guide to Invisalign teeth straightening with Dr Fiona Blake

1. Initial Consultation and Digital Scan: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Blake. She’ll discuss your smile goals, assess your oral health, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. Gone are the days of messy impressions! We utilise state-of-the-art digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D image of your teeth. This scan provides a highly accurate foundation for your personalised treatment plan.
2. Customised Treatment Plan: Using the digital scan we can carefully plan your tooth movement, creating a virtual representation of your entire treatment process. This allows you to visualise your future smile before even starting treatment. The planned movement is then sent to Invisalign laboratories to create your set of custom-made aligners.  
3. Receiving Your Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, you’ll return to Dentistry and More to receive your first set, we will ensure a perfect fit and provide detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your aligners. You’ll typically wear each set for one to two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their desired positions.
4. Regular Reviews: Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you’ll have regular reviews, these appointments allow us to monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and answer any questions you may have. We are dedicated to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction every step of the way.
5. Achieving Your Perfect Smile: As you progress through your series of aligners, you’ll begin to see noticeable improvements in your smile. The duration of treatment varies depending on individual needs, but most patients achieve their desired results within 6 to 12 months.
6. Refinement and Finishing Touches: Once you’ve completed your initial set of aligners, we will assess your results. If necessary, refinement aligners may be used to make any final adjustments, ensuring a flawless smile. There is no extra cost for this.
7. Retention for Long-Lasting Results: To maintain your beautiful new smile, we’ll provide you with a set of retainers. These are essential for preventing your teeth from moving back to their original positions. Retainers are typically worn nightly, ensuring your investment in Invisalign lasts a lifetime.
