What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that helps straighten your teeth without the traditional metal braces. It uses a series of clear retainers, or aligners to move teeth. They are removable and virtually invisible so you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
Here’s What’s Included in Your Invisalign Consult:
In your consultation you will have the opportunity to learn more about Invisalign and how this treatment will work for you and your current orthodontic needs.
Dr Nguyen will listen to your needs and expectations and what you’d like to achieve from treatment. You will find out how Invisalign works by examining the digital treatment planning software and viewing before, during and after images. We will examine your mouth, teeth and smile to assess your orthodontic plan. During this examination we will take a full 3D scan of your current dentition alignment. Following we will take radiographic X-Rays and this will help us identify the level of treatment you will require to get your dream smile. Dr Nguyen will gather all this information and create a personalized treatment plan.
Concluding this consultation, you will receive an upfront quote with the option of a flexible interest free payment plan, so you know exactly what to expect.
*For a limited time receive a free take home tooth whitening kit after your treatment is complete.
If you decide this is something you would like to try, we will book you in for a treatment at a time that is most suitable for you.
