The treatment
How the process works
1. Consultation
During an initial appointment, we will assess your teeth and discuss your wishes to determine whether Invisalign is suitable for you.
2. Custom scan
We make a digital 3D scan of your teeth, with which we can create a personalized treatment plan and a preview of the end result.
3. Receiving aligners
You will receive your custom-made, clear aligners that will gradually move your teeth into the correct position.
4. Wear and replace
Wear the aligners daily for at least 20-22 hours and replace them with a new set every 1-2 weeks.
5. Regular checks
Come by for periodic checks so we can monitor progress and make adjustments if necessary.
6. Enjoy your new smile
After the final aligner, your treatment is complete and you can enjoy a perfectly aligned smile!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment usually takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the dental correction. Mild corrections may be quicker, while more complicated cases may take longer. We can provide an estimated treatment time based on your specific situation.
How often should I wear my aligners?
Ideally, you should wear your aligners for 22 hours a day for best results. This means that you should only remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing and flossing your teeth. Wearing your aligners for less than 20-22 hours a day may delay your treatment or affect your final results.
Are Invisalign aligners painful?
Invisalign may cause some discomfort or pain, especially in the first few days after you start wearing a new set of aligners. This is because the aligners gradually shift your teeth, and that pressure can cause temporary sensitivity.
The pain is usually mild and will go away after a few days as your teeth adjust. Many people describe it as a slight pressure or “tight” feeling, rather than actual pain. You may want to take painkillers such as ibuprofen if the discomfort becomes too much. In general, Invisalign is considered less painful than traditional braces with metal brackets because there are no sharp edges to irritate your mouth.
How often should I come for a check-up?
During Invisalign treatment, you will usually need to visit your dentist or orthodontist for check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks. During these appointments, the practitioner will check the progress of your teeth and will often provide you with a new set of aligners for the next phase of your treatment.
In some cases, the check-up appointments may be shorter or longer apart, depending on how your treatment is going and how well you adhere to the wearing advice. It is important to arrive on time for your appointments, so that your progress can be monitored and any adjustments can be made in a timely manner.
Can I eat and drink anything with Invisalign aligners?
With Invisalign, you can eat and drink anything as long as you remove your aligners when eating or drinking (except water). Food particles can damage your teeth, and beverages can discolor or distort your aligners. Be sure to brush your teeth after eating before putting your aligners back in.
Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?
Invisalign is ideal for minor dental corrections, such as crooked teeth and an overbite. For complex dental problems, traditional braces are often better. We are here to help you make the right choice.
