Getting Started With Invisalign®
Your Invisalign® journey starts with a free consultation with Dr. Liesen. During this visit, he will get to know you, discuss what you would like to change about your smile, and collect digital scans using our iTero® scanning system.
These scans help map out your bite and create a detailed view of your smile. From there, Dr. Liesen can talk with you about what your custom Invisalign® treatment may look like, how long treatment may take, and what to expect before getting started.
In some cases, treatment can begin the same day.
What To Expect During Treatment
Once your Invisalign® treatment begins, you will wear a series of clear aligners that are customized to your smile. Each set of aligners is designed to gently guide your teeth into a better position over time.
Because Invisalign® does not use brackets or wires, there are typically fewer adjustment-style visits than traditional braces. Our team will let you know when it is time to move to your next aligners and will monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Many Invisalign® cases take around 6 to 12 months on average, though your exact timeline will depend on your smile, bite, and treatment goals.
Fewer Office Visits, More Flexibility
One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign® treatment is convenience. Your aligners are created based on digital scans of your teeth, and you will move through treatment by switching to new sets of trays as directed.
There are no broken brackets or wire adjustments to worry about. You can also use the My Invisalign® app to help follow updates and stay on track with your treatment.
Financing And Payment Options
We want Invisalign® treatment to feel easy to understand and plan for. Our team can review your treatment plan, discuss payment options, and help determine what works best for your needs.
Financing options are available through CareCredit. We can also help verify your insurance benefits, including Delta Dental Premier, to see whether orthodontic benefits may apply. As a courtesy, our team can file claims for ongoing treatment once treatment begins.
After Invisalign® Treatment
Once your Invisalign® treatment is complete, retainers help preserve your new smile. Your current Invisalign® offer includes Vivera retainers, which are designed to help keep your teeth in their corrected position after aligner treatment.
Dr. Liesen and our team will explain how often to wear your retainers and how to care for them so you can protect your results long term.
