The Invisalign Treatment Process
Initial Consultation & Exam
Prior to starting your treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss your desired smile outcomes with your dentist. They will carefully examine your bite and smile to determine if Invisalign Clear Aligner Therapy is the appropriate solution for you. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have regarding your smile, Invisalign Clear Aligners, or other available treatment options.

Aligner Fitting & Pick Up
Once you have been given the green light to proceed with Invisalign Clear Aligners, your dentist will take digital scans of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit perfectly. Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office to pick them up and begin your treatment. Using advanced Dental Monitoring software, we can track your progress remotely, for less office visits and a more convenient overall experience.
Check-ins
While every treatment timeline is unique, you’ll most likely stop by our office every six to eight weeks to pick up your next set of aligners. These check-ups are crucial as they ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and that your Invisalign Clear Aligner trays are fitting correctly.

Pediatric Orthodontics
Early orthodontic treatment, also called Phase 1 orthodontics, can help promote proper development and minimize the need for more complex orthodontic intervention in the future. For kids ages 6-10, Invisalign First or traditional braces may be appropriate treatment options depending on their unique needs.

Pre-Orthodontic Extractions
Extractions are sometimes necessary to prepare for orthodontic treatment. At Doral Select Dentistry, we offer gentle, pain-free extractions, so you can rest easy.
Retainers
Retainers are an integral part of orthodontic treatment, as they prevent your teeth from reverting back to their original positions. We offer clear Invisalign retainers, as well as permanent retainers for added security.
Invisalign Attachments
Invisalign attachments are small tooth-colored bumps that are applied to the surface of your teeth, acting as anchors that allow us to correct more complex misalignments with Invisalign than ever before.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Many people qualify as candidates for Invisalign. In certain cases, where more complex orthodontic movements are required, or other oral health conditions need to be addressed, your dentist may recommend alternative treatment or traditional metal or ceramic braces. To determine the best treatment option for your unique situation, reach out to our team and schedule a consultation today.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some tenderness and soreness as your teeth start to shift. The gentle pressure exerted by the aligners prompts your tooth roots to move, leading to minor inflammation and discomfort. If you experience discomfort over-the-counter pain medication for a day or two is generally enough to allow you to get back to your normal sensation and routine.
How should I wear my aligners?
Most patients are advised to wear their Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, although this may vary based on your specific treatment requirements. You will likely only need to remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing your aligners ensures optimal treatment progress and faster teeth shifting.
How should I care for my aligners?
Taking care of your Invisalign aligners is easy. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and water to gently clean your trays, removing any food particles or plaque. When you take out your aligners to eat, brush, or floss, store them in their case to protect them from bacteria and damage.
What should I do if I crack my aligners?
If you lose your aligners or notice any cracks, damage, or wear and tear, please contact us immediately. Delaying assistance could prolong your treatment and reverse the progress you have made. We will ensure you receive a fresh set of trays as soon as possible, allowing you to continue with your treatment plan.
Can I use my Invisalign trays as a nightguard?
We do not recommend using Invisalign trays as a nightguard. The clear plastic trays are designed for gently shifting your teeth, not for protecting them. If you struggle with teeth grinding and clenching at night, however, it does not mean clear aligners are not for you. Discuss this with your dentist during your consultation to find out what options will best suit your needs. If you're already undergoing Invisalign therapy and you notice your aligners are cracked or worn down, let your dentist know right away.
What are Invisalign attachments?
Invisalign attachments, also known as buttons, are small tooth-colored composite resin dots placed on your teeth. When you insert your Invisalign aligners, they snap over these buttons, providing an anchor to keep the aligners securely in place. This allows your dentist to adjust the position of your teeth more precisely and effectively throughout your Invisalign treatment.
Can you see Invisalign when you’re wearing them?
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Each tray is custom-made to fit your gum line seamlessly. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they may become stained, potentially making them more noticeable.
How are Invisalign trays made?
The process begins with taking digital scans of your teeth to create a digital model of your mouth. This model is then sent to a local lab, where the aligners are crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. These tools enable the creation of highly precise aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Once the aligners are completed, they are sent to your dentist to be fitted and delivered to you.
