The Invisalign Treatment Process
5 Steps to a Straighter Smile
Invisalign clear aligners from Ottawa Downtown Dental offer a convenient treatment option for straightening your smile with fewer hassles than traditional braces.
Step 1
Book Your First
Consultation
To start, we will examine your smile to find out if Invisalign is right for you. A digital scanner will then be used to create a 3D image of your smile and what it could look like with Invisalign treatment.
Step 2
Develop a Custom
Treatment Plan
Based on the choices made in your first appointment, we will plan a precise Invisalign treatment process with timelines. This plan will include the exact movement of your teeth that will happen with each set of aligners.
Step 3
Start Your Custom
Treatment Plan
We will create a series of custom Invisalign clear aligners just for you. You will wear them each day. Remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss. As your treatment continues, your aligners will gradually begin to shift your teeth.
Step 4
Switch Your Aligners
Every Two Weeks
About every 2 weeks, you will switch to the next set of clear aligners. You will also check in briefly with your dentist – every six weeks or so – to review your progress.
Step 5
Maintain Your
Brand New Smile
It's a great day when you reach the end of your treatment! At your final appointment, we will discuss next steps, and prescribe retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions.
