Invisalign What to Know Before Treatment

Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually. A consultation is needed to determine whether clear aligners are suitable for your bite, tooth movement needs, oral health, and treatment goals.

When to book an appointment

A clear-aligner consultation may be helpful if you are concerned about crowding, spacing, or the position of your teeth and want to discuss orthodontic options. It is also useful to ask about treatment responsibilities, retention, and whether another approach would better suit your needs.

What happens at the appointment

The dentist reviews your oral health and bite, listens to your goals, and may take records such as photographs, scans, or diagnostic images. If clear aligners are appropriate, the clinic explains the proposed plan, the need to wear aligners as directed, review appointments, and the retainer phase after active treatment.

What to know before treatment

  • Clear aligners are removable, but they need consistent wear as directed for the plan to work as intended.
  • Brush and clean your teeth before putting aligners back in after meals or drinks other than water.
  • Your treatment plan may include attachments or other features; the clinician will explain these before treatment begins.
  • A retainer plan is an important part of maintaining the final tooth position.

Frequently asked questions

No. Suitability depends on the type and amount of tooth movement needed, your bite, oral health, and ability to follow the plan.

Treatment time varies. The dentist can give a personalised estimate after reviewing your records and proposed plan.

Retainers are commonly used to help maintain tooth position after orthodontic treatment. Your clinician will explain the plan that applies to you.
