How will Invisalign treatment be?
Your doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that determines the exact movement of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are designed to apply the right amount of force in the right place at the right time, depending on your plan.
What is the treatment process?
In the first session, your scan record will be taken with the itero intraoral three-dimensional scanner and your digital model will be created. Then, intraoral and profile photo records will be taken and all data will be transferred to a special system for doctors. Your smile will then be evaluated and a precise, customized digital treatment plan will be created, showing the step-by-step transformation of your smile.
