What Does an Invisalign Diamond Plus Specialist Do?

dr_avey

An Invisalign Diamond Plus Specialist is an orthodontist or dentist who has achieved the highest level of recognition within the Invisalign provider tier system. The tier system ranges from Bronze to Diamond Plus, with Diamond Plus being the highest level of achievement. The Invisalign team has designated GoClear as a Diamond Plus Top 1% provider – the highest distinction possible.

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth, and it uses a series of clear aligners to gradually move the teeth into their desired positions. 

What can patients expect during the treatment process with Invisalign?

Patients can expect the following general steps and experiences during the treatment process with Invisalign:

  1. Initial Consultation: The process typically begins with an initial consultation with Invisalign Diamond Plus Specialist. During this appointment, the orthodontist will assess the patient’s dental condition, discuss their treatment goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for them.
  2. Treatment Planning: If the patient is deemed suitable for Invisalign, the provider will create a customized treatment plan. This involves taking digital impressions or physical molds of the patient’s teeth and using advanced software to create a 3D virtual representation of the treatment process. The provider will show the patient the projected progress and outcome, allowing them to visualize the transformation.
  3. Aligner Fabrication: Based on the treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners will be fabricated specifically for the patient. These aligners are made from a clear, BPA-free plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn.
  4. Fitting of Aligners: Once the aligners are ready, the patient will return to the provider’s office to receive their first set of aligners. The provider will ensure a proper fit and provide instructions on how to wear and care for the aligners.
  5. Progress Check-ups: Throughout the treatment process, patients will have periodic check-up appointments with their Invisalign provider. These appointments allow the provider to monitor the progress of tooth movement, ensure the aligners are fitting correctly, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
  6. Treatment Completion: Once the patient has gone through the entire series of aligners, the active phase of treatment is complete. However, it’s common for the provider to recommend the use of retainers to maintain the corrected position of the teeth. Retainers may be worn full-time initially and then gradually transitioned to night-time wear.
  7. Follow-up Care: After the active treatment phase, patients will have follow-up appointments with their provider to ensure the teeth are stable and that they are satisfied with the treatment outcome. These appointments are essential for long-term success and retention of the results.

Throughout the treatment process, patients can expect a relatively comfortable experience with Invisalign. While there may be some initial discomfort or pressure when transitioning to new aligners, it typically subsides within a few days. Regular oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, can be maintained by removing the aligners during these activities.
