THE INVISALIGN PROCESS

Here’s a breakdown of the process at Virtuosum Orthodontics, guiding you from the initial consultation to the final reveal of your new smile.

1. INITIAL CONSULTATION

Your journey begins with a visit to Virtuosum Orthodontics, where you discuss your smile goals and undergo a thorough dental evaluation to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you.

2. CUSTOM TREATMENT PLAN

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a digital impression of your teeth is created, eliminating the need for traditional molds. Dr. O’Callaghan devises a customized treatment plan, using the 3D model to map out the movement of your teeth and predict the treatment duration.

3. RECEIVING YOUR ALIGNERS

Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners are crafted specifically for your teeth. You’ll receive your first set of aligners and instructions on how to wear them properly for optimal results.

4. WEARING YOUR ALIGNERS

For the best results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll transition to a new set of aligners, gradually moving your teeth toward their final position.

5. REGULAR CHECK-INS

You’ll have periodic appointments with your orthodontist to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. These visits are a great time to receive your next set of aligners and to ask any questions. Refinements (If Necessary) In some cases, additional aligners may be needed to make minor adjustments and ensure your teeth are perfectly aligned.

6. MAINTAINING YOUR NEW SMILE

Once your treatment is complete, retainers are typically recommended to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position. Wearing your retainer as advised ensures the longevity of your results, keeping your smile straight and beautiful for years to come.

INVISALIGN FOR KIDS

Customized to fit perfectly, each set of aligners is part of a series that gradually moves your child’s teeth into the desired position. This is achieved with precision, thanks to the advanced 3D imaging technology used in the creation of Invisalign trays, ensuring comfort and effectiveness throughout the treatment process. Invisalign for kids offers a perfect blend of these qualities, providing an orthodontic treatment that is not only effective but also suits the dynamic lifestyle of our younger patients. Key benefits include:

Minimal Disruptions

The design and technology behind Invisalign for kids mean fewer emergency visits. We provide a hassle-free experience, focusing on the smooth progression of their treatment without unexpected interruptions.

Oral Health Maintenance

Traditional braces often pose challenges to maintaining optimal oral hygiene. Invisalign aligners are removable, reducing the risk of white spots and cavities, common concerns with traditional metal braces.

Accommodates Growing Teeth

Invisalign for kids is made with eruption to accommodate and facilitate the growth of your young ones’ teeth to their right positions.

Comfort and Safety

Without metal wires or brackets, the risk of injury from sports or play is significantly reduced. Invisalign aligners offer a safer alternative, ensuring that your child’s daily activities are as carefree as possible.

INVISALIGN FOR TEENS

Invisalign Teen is meticulously designed to meet the unique orthodontic needs of teenagers, featuring compliance indicators for tracking wear time, replacement aligners for unexpected mishaps, and eruption tabs to accommodate growing mouths.
