What Invisalign Dentists Do

Invisalign is easily one of the most popular orthodontic treatments today, but it is not available at all dental offices. Dentists who offer Invisalign have completed specialized training, which prepares them to screen patients for eligibility, as well as design and administer the treatment. Here is more about what these dentists do.

After determining that a patient is a candidate for Invisalign, our dentist takes bite impressions, photos, and X-rays of the teeth to use to design the Invisalign aligners. Our dentist may make a variety of changes to the treatment plan based on the needs of the individual. After ordering the aligners and receiving them from Invisalign, our dentist dispenses the first set of aligners to the patient. Our dentist then monitors the progress of the patient and provides the next aligners at regular visits scheduled until completion. At the end of the treatment, our dentist prescribes retainers, which are similar to the Invisalign aligners, to be worn for a set period.

Invisalign aligners are manufactured by the company, but each treatment is designed and administered by the dentists who provide it. The training our dentist has completed helps ensure that patients will complete their orthodontic goals successfully and on time.
