What is the process for getting started with Invisalign?
• The patient needs to schedule an appointment with Dr. Eshom, who can help determine if Invisalign is right for the patient. • Then Dr. Eshom writes a treatment plan and submits it to Invisalign, along with X-rays, photographs and an impression of the patient’s teeth. • Using 3-D computer imaging technology to project tooth movement, Invisalign translates the treatment plan into a series of precisely customized aligners. • The patient wears each aligner for about two weeks, moving to the next set, until the teeth are straight. • The patient returns for appointments typically once every 2 to 3 weeks. This is the only way Dr. Eshom can be sure that the treatment is progressing as planned.
