Considering Invisalign but not sure what the process looks like? You’re not alone. Many patients in Marietta, GA are excited about the idea of straightening their teeth without traditional braces—but they want to understand exactly what to expect before getting started.
At Wright Orthodontics, we’re proud to be a Diamond Invisalign Provider, offering expert care and advanced technology to ensure your treatment is smooth, effective, and personalized from start to finish. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what you can expect during your Invisalign journey with us in Marietta.
Step 1: Free Invisalign Consultation
Your Invisalign experience begins with a free consultation at our Marietta office. During this visit, Dr. Marc S. Wright will examine your teeth and bite, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
We’ll take the time to answer all your questions, explain the process, and provide a clear understanding of how Invisalign works. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll move forward with creating your customized treatment plan.
Step 2: Digital Impressions with iTero
Forget messy, uncomfortable molds. At Wright Orthodontics, we use the iTero digital scanner to take fast, precise 3D images of your teeth. These digital impressions allow us to create a fully customized Invisalign treatment plan tailored to your unique smile.
You’ll even get to preview a digital simulation of what your smile could look like after treatment—so you can see your future results before you even start.
Step 3: Custom Aligner Fabrication
Once your treatment plan is finalized, your custom Invisalign aligners are created using advanced 3D printing technology. Each aligner is designed to make small, gradual changes to your teeth, guiding them into proper alignment over time.
Your first set of aligners typically arrives within a couple of weeks. Once they’re ready, you’ll return to our Marietta office to receive your aligners and go over wear instructions.
Step 4: Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1 to 2 weeks before switching to the next in the series.
Because the aligners are clear and low-profile, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. Best of all, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods—no dietary restrictions required.
Step 5: Check-Ins and Progress Monitoring
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our Marietta office every 6 to 8 weeks for brief check-ins. Dr. Wright will monitor your progress, make adjustments if needed, and ensure everything is moving according to plan.
These visits are quick and convenient—just another way Invisalign makes orthodontic care easier for your lifestyle.
Step 6: Completing Treatment and Retainers
Once you’ve completed your aligner series and achieved your new smile, we’ll discuss the next step: retention. You’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your results and keep your teeth from shifting.
Wearing your retainer as directed is an essential part of preserving your Invisalign results long-term.
