The Invisalign® Process

The Sioux Falls Invisalign doctors at VanLaecken Orthodontics will scan your smile to capture a detailed, 3D image of your teeth—no molds whatsoever! We will then create a custom treatment plan for you, including clear aligners, that will provide a great fit.

This is an essential step for a successful Invisalign treatment. Our Sioux Falls Invisalign orthodontists will make sure your aligners fit, as well as provide instructions for wear and care, let you know what to expect during appointments, and answer any of your questions.

• Starting Your Aligners: When you receive your first custom aligners, your orthodontist will examine your teeth, and thoroughly check everything else over.
• Regular Check-Ups: You’ll see your doctor, face-to-face or virtually, about every 6-8 weeks to look over your progress, and pick the next set of aligners.
• Keep Living Life Uninterrupted:  Continue brushing and eating as you normally would! Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and easy to remove.

Depending on your case, your treatment could be completed in as little as 6 months. Results will start appearing within a few weeks.

Once treatment is complete, you will be given clear Invisalign retainers to maintain your smile. Not only are these retainers virtually invisible, they are customized to your smile, and are less likely to break or crack versus other retainers. 

Keep eating all your favorite foods, just simply remove your aligners to eat or drink, then brush your teeth before putting them back in.  

Stay active in all the activities and sports you love. Your aligners are custom-fit to your teeth  so they will stay secure—no need to remove your aligners!

For the best Sioux Falls Invisalign results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day.
