Invisalign
Dr. Feldborg is certified in Invisalign treatment in both the United States and Norway and is a Preferred Invisalign Provider.
Invisalign is a type of clear aligner therapy for the orthodontic movement of teeth. This is an alternative to traditional metal braces and is equally effective and efficient as traditional braces. The patient changes aligners every week which moves the teeth until the final result is achieved. The most important key to success is the patients compliance, as aligners must be worn 22 hours per day. Treatment times vary from just a few weeks to one year, though most patients have treatment plans around 3-6 months. After treatment, clear Vivera retainers are worn at night to hold the new bite stable and avoid relapse.
- Appointment 1 - Intra oral digital scan, photos, dental exam / smile simulation
- Appointment 2 - review of Clincheck plan / Dr. Feldborg presents the patient with the Clincheck plan for their treatment which allows the patient to see the final result, both as an animation and on a photo of their own face. At this point, Dr. Feldborg can say how many weeks treatment will take and what the cost will be for the patient as cost is determined by treatment complexity. When the patient is ready to start their Invisalign journey the aligners will be ordered.
- Appointment 3 - aligner delivery / starting the Invisalign journey
Follow up appointments vary by treatment plan
After treatment is completed / attachment removal, new Intra oral scan for Vivera retainers
