Invisalign® ProcessCentennial, CO
At Wimmer Dental, we believe that achieving the smile you’ve always wanted should be a comfortable, transparent, and rewarding experience. Our Invisalign process is designed to make every step—from consultation to your final results—simple and stress-free. Using advanced digital technology, personalized treatment planning, and the expertise of our Centennial dental team, we’ll help you transform your smile without the hassle of traditional braces.
Step 1: Your Invisalign® Consultation
Every Invisalign journey begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, our team takes the time to understand your goals, evaluate your oral health, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
We use advanced 3D imaging technology to take digital scans of your teeth—no messy impressions required. These detailed scans help us analyze your bite, alignment, and spacing issues. We’ll then discuss what you can expect from treatment, including an estimated timeline, cost, and projected results.
Patients love this step because they can actually see a digital simulation of how their smile will look after Invisalign treatment—before it even begins.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Planning
Once you decide to move forward, our dentists use the digital scan to create a precise, customized treatment plan tailored to your unique smile. Each tooth movement is mapped out virtually, allowing us to guide your teeth into their ideal positions safely and predictably.
We’ll review your treatment sequence together and ensure all your questions are answered before your aligners are ordered. Every case is different, but most patients wear between 18 and 30 sets of aligners, depending on the complexity of their alignment goals.
Step 3: Receiving Your Custom Aligners
When your aligners arrive, you’ll return to our office to pick them up and learn how to use them properly. Each aligner set is made from smooth, BPA-free SmartTrack material that’s comfortable to wear and easy to remove.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Over time, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into the desired position. We’ll schedule regular check-ins—usually every six to eight weeks—to ensure your treatment is progressing exactly as planned.
Step 4: Living With Invisalign®
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is how seamlessly it fits into your daily routine. You can remove your aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, which means no food restrictions and no special cleaning techniques like with braces.
To stay on track, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day. Patients typically find it easy to adjust after just a few days. The aligners are nearly invisible, so you can feel confident during work meetings, social events, or photos without anyone noticing your treatment.
Here are a few simple tips for success:
- Always store your aligners in their case when not wearing them.
- Clean your aligners with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush daily.
- Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
- Keep up with your regular dental checkups and cleanings during treatment.
Step 5: Tracking Your Progress
Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you’ll see gradual improvements in your smile as your teeth shift into alignment. Our team will monitor your progress using digital scans and photos at each visit to make sure your teeth are moving according to plan.
If minor adjustments are needed, we can easily modify your treatment plan or order refinement aligners to perfect your final results. At Wimmer Dental, we’re committed to precision and ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome.
Step 6: Completing Your Treatment
When your final set of aligners is complete, it’s time to reveal your new smile! Many patients are amazed at how comfortable and natural their teeth feel after Invisalign treatment. To help maintain your results, we’ll provide a set of retainers to wear at night. These retainers prevent teeth from shifting and keep your new smile beautifully aligned for years to come.
We’ll also schedule a follow-up visit to evaluate your bite, review your results, and discuss long-term oral health maintenance.
