Considering Invisalign to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted? At the office of John E. Russo, D.M.D. in Orlando, Florida, we offer personalized Invisalign treatment to help you achieve beautifully aligned teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. We’ve answered some common questions about the Invisalign process.
What Are the First Steps to Starting Invisalign Treatment?
The first step is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Russo. We’ll assess your oral health and determine if Invisalign suits you. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll outline your personalized treatment plan and answer any questions you may have. Our team will also discuss estimated treatment timelines and cost options.
How Long Does the Invisalign Consultation Take?
Your initial Invisalign consultation typically takes about an hour. During this time, Dr. Russo will examine your teeth, take digital impressions, and use advanced imaging technology to get a clear view of your smile, which will help us design an accurate treatment plan. We’ll also provide a digital simulation so you can visualize the projected results before committing to the treatment.
Will I Need X-Rays or Scans Before Getting Invisalign?
Digital X-rays and 3D scans are essential for planning your Invisalign treatment. These detailed images allow Dr. Russo to create a precise digital model of your teeth, ensuring your aligners fit comfortably and move your teeth efficiently. Our Orlando office uses state-of-the-art technology for a comfortable and quick scanning process. Unlike traditional molds, digital scans are non-invasive and deliver highly accurate results.
How Are Invisalign Aligners Custom-Made for My Teeth?
Once we have your digital scans, we send them to the Invisalign lab, where your custom aligners are crafted. Each set of aligners is designed to shift your teeth into their ideal position gradually. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each typically worn for one to two weeks before progressing to the next. Dr. Russo will monitor your progress through regular check-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.
Before & After Results
What Should I Expect During My First Week with Invisalign?
It’s normal to experience slight pressure or discomfort as your teeth adjust to the aligners. This usually subsides within a few days. You may also notice minor changes in your speech as your mouth adapts, but this quickly resolves. Wear your aligners for twenty to twenty-two hours daily, removing them only to drink, eat, brush, and floss. It’s important to clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to maintain their clarity and freshness.
