Based on the assessment of your dental needs, we will discuss potential treatment options to address any concerns you may have. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and express any preferences you may have regarding your treatment plan.

Creation of Customized Invisalign Aligners
During the process of creating customized Invisalign aligners, precise measurements are taken to ensure a perfect fit for each individual patient. These aligners are crafted using advanced 3D imaging technology that allows for a detailed mapping of the teeth alignment. The aligners are then fabricated using BPA-free plastic material, making them safe and comfortable for daily wear.
Once the customized Invisalign aligners are ready, patients are given clear instructions on how to properly wear and care for them. The aligners need to be worn for at least 22 hours a day to effectively shift the teeth into the desired position. Regular check-ups with the orthodontist are essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
