How does Invisalign work?
At the initial consultation stage it is necessary to speak with our accredited orthodontist Hampshire. During this discussion they will examine whether you are compatible with Invisalign treatment, they will also be able to provide an illustration of what the final results will look like. This will include the duration of the treatment, and the pricing, a second appointment will then be made to get started on the procedure.
At this next appointment the orthodontist will take a virtual 3D scan of your teeth following an X-ray of the mouth area. This will then be sent off to Invisalign. These steps are required so that you are able to get a timeline and 3D image of how your teeth will look throughout different stages, this will include the beginning and end of the treatment. It will take a couple of days for the illustration to be created in your ClinCheck video.
