The Invisalign® Process Explained at Scott A. Young DDS
Scott A. Young DDS in Charlotte, NC, offers a clear path to a straighter smile with Invisalign®. This advanced orthodontic treatment uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. Here’s what you can expect from the Invisalign® process at our clinic.
Step-by-Step Invisalign® Treatment:
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Young assesses your dental needs and determines if Invisalign® is the right option for you.
- Customization: Using 3D computer imaging technology, we take precise impressions of your teeth to customize your aligners.
- Treatment Begins: Once your aligners arrive, you’ll start wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every 1-2 weeks as directed.
- Regular Check-ups: You’ll have periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track.
