Invisalign® has become an increasingly popular choice for individuals seeking an effective and discreet method for achieving straighter teeth. At Atlantic Dental Associates of Shallotte, we focus on providing exceptional orthodontic solutions tailored specifically for adults, creating beautiful smiles without the need for traditional metal braces. Understanding what to expect during the Invisalign® treatment process can help ease any concerns and illuminate the benefits of this innovative system.

Invisalign® aligners are custom-made from a clear, comfortable plastic material that fits snugly over the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are removable, allowing for easy cleaning and minimal disruption to daily routines. Throughout the treatment, you will receive a series of aligners, each designed to gently shift your teeth into the desired position. The process involves a few key steps:

• Initial Consultation: During your first visit, a thorough examination will be conducted to determine if Invisalign® is the right choice for you. Digital imaging technology may be used to create a 3D model of your teeth.
• Custom Treatment Plan: After your consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed, outlining the expected duration of treatment and progression. This plan will serve as a roadmap for your journey to a straighter smile.
• Receiving Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, you will receive your first set. It is essential to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours each day for optimal results, removing them only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
• Progress Check-ins: Regular appointments will be necessary to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. This ensures that your treatment stays on track and modifications are made when necessary.
• Final Reveal: Upon completing the treatment plan, you will have a beautiful, straight smile. Retainers may be prescribed to maintain your new dental alignment.
