5 STEPS TO STRAIGHT TEETH WITH INVISALIGN IN MECHANICSBURG, PA

Orthodontics has come a long way from the first time people might have seen commercials for invisible braces on TV. Getting a straighter smile with Invisalign Teen doesn’t have to be as uncomfortable. When you visit Hilton Diminick, here’s what you can expect as a patient from Mechanicsburg, PA

  1. An initial visit to discuss your family  history, goals for orthodontic treatment, and discussion of the pros and cons of Invisalign in Mechanicsburg, PA
  2. Imaging of your current teeth and alignment to note areas of an overbite, crossbite, and significant gaps in your teeth. For the most success, we perform our scans with the latest 3D solutions for the best detail and ability to visualize what your smile will look like after treatment with Invisalign Teen in Mechanicsburg, PA
  3. After submitting the 3D scan to the manufacturer, you’ll come back to see us for your first set of aligners. We’ll go over best practices like flossing, keeping the trays clean, and strategies to wear the aligners as much as possible during the day. We’ll answer all of your questions! Can I wear lip gloss? Can I eat candy? Do I need to brush more often? How do I floss? How long does it take? Does it hurt? Is it faster than braces?
  4. Every week you’ll switch out your tray for the next one.  You may feel slight soreness or a dull throb during the first few days, but that means your teeth are moving and your gums are finding a new position, so this is a good thing! Your teeth and gums will become acclimated to their final, straightened alignment.
  5. While you’ll visit our office for regularly scheduled appointments (10-14 week intervals), if any issue arises and you’d like us to check the progress, we’re happy to see you at any time.  We have a little secret; other than that, you just get to live your life!

There are a few things to keep in mind. There are some rules regarding eating and drinking. For your teeth to move quickly, you’ll want to keep the aligners in as much as possible so your teeth don’t start shifting back. At the end of your experience, you’ll have a smile that you’ll love without having to go through visible wires and brackets to achieve your goals.

At Hilton Diminick, we’ve found that a lot of the success of our patients, adult and teen alike, comes with the knowledge of how to achieve straight teeth and an improved smile. We’re proud to have worked with thousands of patients who have come in with various alignments and understand each path is unique.
