The Invisalign Process
When you choose Invisalign in Los Gatos at Family First Smile Care, you’ll benefit from a clear and straightforward process designed to give you the best results possible. Here’s what you can expect during your Invisalign treatment:
1. Initial Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a free consultation at Family First Smile Care. Dr. Tim Chuang will assess your teeth and bite alignment, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you. Using advanced technology, such as our intraoral scanner and digital X-rays, we’ll create a 3D model of your teeth to plan your treatment with precision. If Invisalign is right for you, we will take molds of your teeth so the aligners can be fabricated.
2. Custom Aligners Made for You
Based on your personalized treatment plan, custom Invisalign aligners are created to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner is designed to apply the right amount of pressure to move your teeth into their ideal position gently.
3. Wearing Your Aligners
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, or floss. The aligners are comfortable and don’t irritate the gums, making them easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
4. Aligner Changes
Approximately every 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners. We craft each set to continue progressing with your teeth alignment.
5. Follow-up Appointments
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Dr. Tim Chuang at Family First Smile Care periodically, allowing us to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.
Tips for Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners
Proper care of your Invisalign aligners will ensure they stay clean, clear, and in great condition throughout your treatment. Here are a few essential care tips to keep in mind:
- Clean Daily: Gently brush your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap or Invisalign cleaning crystals. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch or discolor your aligners.
- Keep Them Safe: When not in use, always store your aligners in their case to prevent loss or damage.
- Rinse After Removing: To keep your aligners fresh and free of debris, rinse them under lukewarm water every time you remove them.
- Avoid Eating or Drinking with Them: Remove your aligners before consuming anything other than water to prevent stains or warping.
