Our Pearland Dentists Walk You Through the Invisalign Treatment Process

At Pearland Dental Group, we’ve helped countless patients achieve their dream smiles with Invisalign treatment. As a leading Brazoria County dental practice, we understand that choosing Invisalign means investing in a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal braces alone.

Our Pearland Invisalign providers, Dr. Rushi Dave and Dr. Mili Shah are committed to ensuring you understand every step of your Invisalign journey. Contact our Pearland dental office at (281)993-9900 for a free consultation and learn more about how Invisalign can transform your smile.

Your Initial Consultation

The Invisalign process begins with a comprehensive consultation at our modern Pearland office. During this visit, your dentist, either Dr. Dave or Dr. Shah will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, bite alignment, and jaw structure to determine if Invisalign is the ideal solution for your specific needs.

We utilize advanced iTero® 3D scanning technology to create precise digital impressions of your teeth. This cutting-edge approach eliminates the discomfort of traditional putty impressions while providing incredibly accurate models of your mouth. These detailed scans allow our experienced dentists to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique, orthodontic treatment needs.

Creating and Molding the Custom Clear Aligners

Once we’ve confirmed that Invisalign is right for you, the next step in the Invisalign process is designing your personalized treatment plan. Using the latest Invisalign software, we map out the exact movements of your teeth throughout the entire process.

Your custom Invisalign aligners are crafted from premium, medical-grade SmartTrack® material – a comfortable, BPA-free plastic that’s virtually invisible. Our digital treatment planning ensures each new aligner is precisely manufactured to fit your teeth perfectly and achieve the desired movements efficiently.

First Fitting

When your custom Invisalign aligners arrive at our Pearland office, we’ll schedule your fitting appointment. During this visit, either Dr. Dave or Dr. Shah will ensure your first set of aligners fits perfectly and provide comprehensive instructions for wearing and using your new Invisalign aligners, as well as maintaining them. We take extra time during this appointment to answer any questions and ensure you feel confident about your treatment journey.

Wearing Your Invisalign Trays

The next step in the Invisalign process is wearing your clear aligners. Success with Invisalign treatment requires a commitment to wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Our team will provide detailed care instructions, including:

Proper cleaning techniques using specialized Invisalign cleaning crystals
Tips for tracking your wearing time
Guidelines for storing aligners when not in use
Best practices for maintaining optimal oral hygiene during treatment

You’ll progress to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, each set carefully designed to move your teeth closer to their ideal position.

Follow-Up

Regular monitoring ensures your Invisalign treatment progresses as planned. During these brief but important appointments at our Pearland office, we’ll:

Check your progress against your treatment timeline
Provide new sets of aligners
Make any necessary adjustments to optimize your results
Address any questions or concerns you may have
After Treatment Retainers

After completing your Invisalign treatment (typically 12-18 months), we’ll provide custom-made Vivera® retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile. These retainers are crafted using the same advanced technology as your Invisalign aligners, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign painful?

While you may experience mild pressure when starting each new set of aligners, this temporary sensation indicates that your custom treatment plan is working effectively. Most patients find Invisalign significantly more comfortable than traditional braces.

Can anyone get Invisalign treatment?

While Invisalign is suitable for many patients, it’s not the ideal solution for everyone. During your consultation at our Pearland office, we’ll determine if Invisalign aligns with your specific orthodontic needs and goals.

Can Invisalign fix severe overcrowding or misalignment?

Today’s Invisalign technology can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including moderate to severe cases. However, some complex cases may benefit from alternative treatment options, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
