Invisalign® Process at Westport Dental
The first step to getting Invisalign® is to have a consultation with Dr. Adam Birk to determine what your goals are for your smile and to establish whether you are a candidate for this method. Our staff will take x-rays and pictures, as well as take digital impressions of your teeth for models.
If our team determines that you’re a good candidate for Invisalign® after undergo the first step, these x-rays, pictures and impressions will be utilized to create your exact treatment course which will show exact teeth movements throughout the process.
Clear, custom-made aligners will then be created to follow your treatment plan. You will be required to wear the aligners 23 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush or floss. Every two weeks you will change the trays.
