The Step-by-Step Process for Invisalign in Northampton
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
First, you will be assessed through an in-depth dental examination. In this visit, your dentist checks your teeth and talks about treatment plans. They further evaluate bite problems as overbite, underbite, or crossbite that could cause harm to your smile and oral health.
Step 2: Digital Scanning and Treatment Planning
Highly accurate 3D scanning is used to capture specific measurements of your mouth. Your dentist would then proceed to develop a custom healthcare plan, using the digital models. This technology makes each aligner custom-fit to your teeth, and it directs movement to selected teeth.
Step 3: Custom Aligner Creation
After the approval of your treatment plan, custom aligners are produced. That is one step closer to your final smile. You get a series of aligner sets that are sequentially labelled to easily track them.
Step 4: Wearing and Switching Aligners
Your dentist may require you to attend regular appointments at six to eight-week intervals to evaluate your progress and then make necessary adjustments. Treatment can take 6-18 months, depending on the difficulty of your bite. Research indicates that clear aligners can speed up the time of completion compared to conventional braces.

Step 5: Treatment and Retainers
The completion of treatment, which usually takes 6-18 months, is accompanied by retainers. These are made to help stop the shifting of your teeth back to their original position, thus ensuring a new smile.
