Choosing Invisalign is an exciting first step toward achieving the confident, healthy smile you’ve always wanted, but what happens after you say “yes” to treatment?

At Montgomery, Prattville & Pike Road Pediatric Dentistry & Family Orthodontics, we’re here to guide you through every stage of the process with expert care and a personalized approach. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, knowing what to expect during your Invisalign journey can help you feel prepared, motivated, and excited about your results.

Step 1: Your Initial Consultation

Every Invisalign journey begins with a complimentary consultation. During this visit, our board-certified orthodontists will:

• Examine your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment
• Discuss your smile goals and any concerns
• Determine if Invisalign is the right option for you

If you’re a good candidate, we’ll move on to creating your custom treatment plan.

Step 2: Digital Scans & Treatment Planning

Say goodbye to messy impressions! Using advanced 3D digital scanning technology, we’ll capture a precise model of your teeth. This allows us to:

• Create a fully customized treatment plan
• Map out the exact movements of your teeth
• Show you a digital preview of your future smile

This digital model also guides the creation of your custom aligners, ensuring a comfortable, accurate fit.

Step 3: Receiving Your First Aligners

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll return to our office to pick up your first set. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know, including:

• How to wear and care for your aligners
• How long to wear each set (usually 1–2 weeks)
• What to expect during the first few days (mild pressure or tightness is normal!)

You’ll also receive a schedule for when to switch to your next set and when to return for check-ups.

Step 4: Wearing Your Aligners Consistently

To get the best results, it’s important to wear your Invisalign aligners 20–22 hours per day—only removing them to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss.

Staying consistent ensures that your teeth continue moving on schedule and helps keep treatment time as short as possible.

Step 5: Regular Check-Ins

You’ll visit us every 6–8 weeks for progress checks. These appointments are usually quick and allow us to:

• Monitor your tooth movement
• Provide your next sets of aligners
• Make any necessary adjustments

If you ever have questions or concerns between visits, our team is always here to help.

Step 6: Reaching the Finish Line

Once you’ve completed your series of aligners, it’s time to celebrate your new smile! But the journey doesn’t end there.

We’ll fit you with a custom retainer to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting back. Wearing your retainer as instructed is key to keeping your smile straight and beautiful for years to come.
