Invisalign Process

Once Dr. Matthew or Courtney Dunn determines that Invisalign is right for you, impressions, radiographs and photographs of your teeth are taken to aid in treatment planning.  At that point, Dr. Dunn will write up a detailed, personalized plan for your Invisalign treatment.

The impressions taken of your teeth are then sent to Invisalign for digitization.  Using the digitized models and treatment plan provided by Dr. Dunn, Invisalign creates a 3-D virtual setup of your treatment and final results for the doctor to review.  This setup allows the Dr. Dunn to plan all of your tooth movements prior to you ever beginning Invisalign treatment.  In addition, it allows you as the patient to visualize your final results before they have actually been attained.

Once Dr. Dunn approves the precise treatment plan for your teeth, customized aligners are created with advanced technology for you to wear at each stage of your treatment. While the number of aligners varies for each individual situation, a typical number is between 20-30 aligners per arch. 

Once you receive your aligners it is extremely important to wear them at all times, with the exception of eating and drinking.  Proper wear will not only provide the best possible results but also allow treatment to progress as quickly as possible.  While wearing Invisalign, Drs. Matthew and Courtney Dunn recommend that you are seen every six weeks for checkups to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners. During the entire treatment process, you will be able to watch your teeth gradually move into place. Your smile will, little by little, move into something you would like to show off.

The advanced technology of the Invisalign system provides you with the customized treatment to give you the smile that you have always wanted. And even with all that superior technology, Dunn Orthodontics makes it easy for you to get Invisalign.  Look over some of our payment options to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
