What Is Invisalign Treatment
The most cutting-edge clear aligner in the world is now more effective than ever at straightening teeth. As an authorized Invisalign dentist in Kent, WA, Seablue Dental takes great pride in offering these transparent aligners as a clear, practical, and pleasant approach for you to have the smile you’ve always wanted.
A series of teeth-straightening aligner trays can be given to patients by an Invisalign® dentist at Seablue Dental of Kent, which is the best choice for patients seeking a discrete tooth-straightening solution. At our Kent dentist office, one of the most popular teeth-straightening clear alighner option is Invisalign®.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
Depending on the degree of the misalignment, Invisalign® aligners are replaced about every two weeks over the course of six to eighteen months, or longer. An Invisalign® aligner is used for orthodontic treatment as a method to move and properly align teeth for a beautiful smile, and is similar to a mouth or dental retainer (which is intended to prevent teeth from slipping out of place). The fitting of this transparent aligner is specific to each patient and is typically computer-generated using a mold (or impression) of the patient’s teeth obtained by either a dentist or an orthodontist.
- Each pair of aligners is worn for roughly two weeks, and only taken out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- Your teeth will move gradually, week by week, as you swap out each aligner for the next in the series, until they are in their final position.
- Approximately once every six weeks, you’ll come see us to make sure your therapy is going according to schedule.
- The usual length of treatment is 9 to 15 months, and the average number of aligners worn is 18 to 30, however these numbers can vary from case to case.

Invisalign Treatment Process
Your First Consultation
Your dentist in Kent will go over your orthodontic requirements and determine whether Invisalign treatment is a good fit for you at your initial consultation.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
To quickly and accurately develop 3D digital photos of your teeth, we’ll use a scanner like the iTero® digital scanning equipment. Then, we will create a detailed treatment plan that includes your teeth’s specific movements and the length of your therapy. You’ll even get to see a glimpse of your new smile and how your teeth will move.
Your Invisalign Clear Aligners
The exclusive SmartTrack® material used by Invisalign will be used to create your personalized aligners. Most people won’t even notice you are wearing them while having your teeth straightened because they are practically invisible.
For optimal results, wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours each day, taking them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
