At Ridgetop Dental International you will undergo the following steps or procedure during your aligners or invisible braces or clear aligners treatment –

1. Initial Consultation: The first step is a consultation with our orthodontist. The orthodontist will examine the patient’s teeth, take photographs & X-rays, and will discuss the options available to achieve the desired outcome. If clear aligners are deemed suitable for the patient’s orthodontic needs, a treatment plan will be provided.
2. Digital Scanning or Impressions: The orthodontist will take digital scans of the patient’s teeth or traditional dental impressions. These scans are used to create a 3D model of the teeth, allowing the orthodontist to plan the entire aligners treatment process.
3. Treatment Plan and Custom Aligners: Using the 3D model, the orthodontist designs a series of custom-made aligners that will gradually move the teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is slightly different, applying controlled forces to specific teeth.
4. Simulation (Video): The patient is provided with a simulation of the manner in the teeth movement during the treatment process for a better understanding and visualization of the desired outcome.
5. Receiving the Aligners: Once the aligners are fabricated, the patient will receive their first set of aligners and instructions on how to wear and care for them.
6. Wearing the Aligners: Patients are required to wear their aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only when eating, drinking (other than water), brushing, and flossing.
7. Progression and Switching Aligners: Every few weeks, the patient will switch to a new set of aligners, progressing through the series as the teeth gradually move into alignment. Regular check-ups with the orthodontist are scheduled to monitor the progress and make any necessary adjustments.
8. Treatment Completion: Once the last set of aligners is worn, the teeth should be in their desired positions. In some cases, a retainer may be provided to help maintain the achieved results.

One of the primary advantages of clear aligners is their nearly invisible appearance, making them an appealing choice for individuals who want a discreet orthodontic option. Additionally, the aligners are removable, allowing patients to take them out during eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes maintaining oral hygiene more manageable compared to traditional braces.

They offer a more comfortable and convenient option to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
