Invisalign is an alternative to braces. It uses thin, clear, comfortable “aligners” to move your teeth. These look sort of like a retainer or a mouth guard. Each aligner is custom-built to place pressure on your teeth. Just like braces, this moves them toward a healthier position in your mouth. By swapping through a series of aligners, you can treat crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, bite issues, and more.
But unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are invisible when worn, and don’t affect speech or your appearance. They're also more comfortable and can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. For these reasons, they're a very popular alternative to traditional braces.
To begin the process, you’ll come into Bespoke Dentistry for a consultation with Dr. Stempfle. She’ll determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If you are, she will use a digital scanner to create a model of your teeth, then work with Invisalign to create your treatment plan. It will take a few weeks for your first set of aligners to arrive at our office.
Once your first set of aligners arrives at Bespoke Dentistry, you’ll come in to pick them up, and to get some instructions on how to wear your aligners from Dr. Stempfle. You’ll wear them all day every day, for at least 20-22 hours. Ideally, you should only remove your aligners to eat and drink, and to brush and floss. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners about every 2 weeks.
About every 6 weeks, you’ll come back to our office for a quick consultation with Dr. Stempfle. She’ll check your progress, then give you a few new sets of aligners. You’ll keep coming back for checkups until your treatment is complete, which usually takes about 12 months.
