Step-by-Step Guide to a Confident Smile with Clear Aligners
Do I need Invisalign? What can it do for me?
The primary allure of Invisalign is achieving a straighter, more attractive smile. If you’ve been considering this, consider a complimentary consultation at Chinook Smiles. However, the benefits extend beyond aesthetics. Invisalign also improves your bite alignment—something that three-quarters of people struggle with, which can lead to issues such as tooth wear, gum disease, TMJ disorders, difficulties in maintaining oral hygiene, and even sleep apnea and respiratory problems.
The Process
Your Invisalign journey at Chinook Smiles starts with a free consultation where Dr. Chloe Xu evaluates your teeth and jaw alignment and discusses your smile aspirations. If you are a suitable candidate, we’ll capture digital impressions of your teeth and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Once your bespoke aligners are ready, you’ll begin wearing a new set approximately every one to two weeks. Each aligner subtly moves your teeth, allowing you to notice the transformation of your smile gradually.
