Our process begins with a thorough basic steps:
The Consultation Process
The first step to correcting an underbite with Invisalign is a detailed consultation at our dental clinic. During this session, our team will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw. This assessment helps in determining the complexity of the underbite and whether Invisalign is the best course of action. In some instances, a combination of Invisalign and other treatments, such as dental braces or even surgery, may be suggested for optimal results.
Invisalign’s Customization and Comfort
Every underbite plan is customized from a digital scan of your bite, so each tray in the series is shaped around how your lower front teeth need to move back and the uppers forward. For comfort, the trays are smooth BPA-free plastic, with no metal brackets or wires to catch or rub the inside of your cheeks or lips.
Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance
Post-treatment care is crucial in maintaining the results achieved with Invisalign. Lansdowne Family Dental provides comprehensive guidance on aftercare, including the use of retainers to keep your teeth in their new position. Regular follow-up appointments and dental check-ups play a vital role in ensuring the long-term success of the treatment.
The Role of Technology in Our Invisalign Treatment
- Assessment and Planning: Your bite is recorded with a digital scan, and the resulting plan then shows you the projected end position well before you decide whether to start treatment.
- Tracking Progress: New trays every 1 to 2 weeks move teeth in small steps, and check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks check that your bite is following the plan.
