A Clear Path to a Confident Smile
Considering Invisalign but not sure what to expect? You’re not alone. Invisalign has revolutionized orthodontic care by offering a discreet, comfortable, and effective alternative to traditional braces. For patients in Glasgow, Sloan Dental is a leading provider of this advanced treatment, offering personalized care from consultation to completion. Let’s walk you through the entire Invisalign journey.
Step 1: Free Consultation at Sloan Dental
The Invisalign experience at Sloan Dental begins with a free initial consultation. This is your chance to meet the friendly team, express your smile goals, and find out if Invisalign is right for you. During the visit, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, and bite alignment.
Sloan Dental uses advanced diagnostic tools, and there’s absolutely no obligation to commit at this stage. You’ll walk away with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Step 2: 3D Smile Simulation with iTero Scanner
One of the most exciting parts of the Invisalign process is seeing a preview of your future smile. Sloan Dental uses the iTero 3D digital scanner, a cutting-edge device that creates a virtual model of your mouth in minutes.
From this scan, your dentist will generate a before-and-after simulation of what your smile could look like after treatment. It’s a great motivator and helps you visualize the transformation.
Step 3: Custom Treatment Plan
Once you decide to move forward, your bespoke treatment plan is created. Sloan Dental’s experienced Invisalign providers work closely with Invisalign’s laboratory to create a sequence of custom clear aligners tailored to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set. The average treatment duration ranges from 6 to 18 months, depending on your individual case.
Step 4: Fitting and Instructions
Your first set of aligners will be fitted at the clinic. They’ll feel snug at first—this is completely normal as they begin applying gentle pressure to your teeth.
Sloan Dental’s team provides thorough guidance on how to wear and care for your aligners, including:
-
Wearing them for 20–22 hours per day
-
Cleaning techniques
-
What to expect in the first few weeks
Step 5: Regular Check-Ups
You’ll visit the clinic every 6–8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next batches of aligners. These quick appointments ensure everything is on track and allow for any adjustments if needed.
Step 6: Your New Smile and Retainers
Once you’ve completed your final set of aligners, it’s time to celebrate your new smile! To maintain your results, Sloan Dental will provide custom retainers, which you’ll wear nightly (or as instructed). This step is crucial for preventing teeth from shifting back.
Bonus: Teeth Whitening & Aftercare
Sloan Dental often includes free teeth whitening with Invisalign treatment to give your new smile that extra sparkle. They’ll also provide tailored aftercare advice to keep your teeth healthy and aligned long-term.
