Your Copperas Cove orthodontist takes this question seriously, so we&rsquo;re here to provide some solid answers. Just keep reading to learn the basic steps of Invisalign treatment and how they work. Once you&rsquo;ve grasped them, you&rsquo;ll be well-prepared for your trays and the straight smile they&rsquo;ll bring!<\/p><div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attend an Initial Visit<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Invisalign treatment starts the way any dental work does, with an initial visit. This session with the orthodontist confirms whether clear aligners suit you.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial visit &ndash; a &ldquo;consultation&rdquo; &ndash; covers what you want from Invisalign. Clear aligners can&rsquo;t fix every misaligned smile, so the orthodontist will assess your mouth to see whether the trays would help. They&rsquo;ll approve you for treatment if you&rsquo;re a good candidate; they&rsquo;ll suggest a different procedure if you&rsquo;re not.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Share Your Diagnostic Records<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should the orthodontist approve treatment, they&rsquo;ll next need some details from you. That means you&rsquo;ll need to share your &ldquo;diagnostic records.&rdquo;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These diagnostic records are fairly easy to obtain. For the most part, the orthodontist will just take photos and digital X-rays of your teeth with a scanner. They&rsquo;ll then use insights from these images to design and create your aligner trays.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Your Aligners<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The orthodontist will move to the third phase of treatment once your trays are ready. In particular, they&rsquo;ll provide your aligners and have you try them on.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the trays first arrive, you&rsquo;ll attend a placement visit. The orthodontist will have you wear the trays at this session and see if they fit correctly. As needed, they may make last-minute adjustments so the aligners work as they should.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Follow-Up Visits<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the placement visit, you&rsquo;ll need to see the orthodontist for periodic follow-up sessions. These &ldquo;follow-up visits&rdquo; keep your treatment on track.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These follow-up visits are easy, all things considered. They only last 10-15 minutes and let your treatment provider confirm your aligners are working. If everything looks good, you&rsquo;ll head home afterward to wear your next set of trays.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Use Your Retainer<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&rsquo;ll shift to the last phase of treatment when you&rsquo;re done with your trays. For that step, you&rsquo;ll consistently wear a retainer to preserve your straight smile.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This retainer shouldn&rsquo;t trouble you much. You&rsquo;ll need to wear it constantly at first, but you&rsquo;ll eventually transition to just wearing it at night. The device will keep your teeth from shifting back to their crooked positions, so the effort is worthwhile.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know the basic steps of Invisalign treatment, you can better adjust to your trays. Still, don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask your treatment provider for more details if necessary.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkfamilydental.com\/\">Benchmark Dental &amp; Orthodontics<\/a> is based in Copperas Cove, TX.
