Step 1: Initial Consultation
The journey to a new, confident smile begins with a consultation. During your initial consultation, one of our dental professionals will discuss your goals and determine whether Invisalign is the right choice for your unique needs. Your teeth will be assessed with photos, x-rays, and digital impressions using advanced 3D imaging technology. These dental records are sent to our partners at Invisalign and used to create a customized treatment plan.
Step 2: Reviewing Treatment
Once the professionals at Invisalign receive your dental records they will create an individualized treatment plan outlining the step-by-step process of aligning your teeth. Our team will review this plan to ensure it responsibly meets all your goals and then presents this plan to you at a follow-up consultation. During this second visit, you will receive a preview of the expected results and a clear understanding of the timeline.
Step 3: Receiving Aligners
With your treatment plan in place, the Invisalign lab can begin fabricating your series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner is designed to apply controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position. You will typically wear each aligner for one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series.
Step 4: Regular Check-ups
Throughout your Invisalign journey, you will have regular check-ups at Cranberry Dental Studio to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. These appointments ensure that your teeth are moving as intended and that you are on track to achieve your desired results.
Upon completion of your Invisalign treatment, you will be provided with a set of retainers to maintain your new smile. These retainers help to ensure that your teeth remain in their new position. With proper care and follow-up appointments, you will be enjoying a stunning smile for years to come!

It is recommended that you remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps to prevent damage to the aligners and staining from food or beverages.
Invisalign is generally considered more comfortable than traditional braces, as the aligners are smooth and custom-fit to your teeth. However, some discomfort may occur, particularly when starting a new set of aligners. This mild discomfort usually subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust to the new aligners.
