The First Step to a New Smile: The Invisalign® Scanning Process

Starting on your journey with Invisalign® at Excellence in Dentistry begins with a crucial first step: the initial scan. This process is not only the foundation for your entire treatment plan but also an exciting peek into the future of your smile. Here’s what you can expect during this initial phase, designed to be as comfortable and informative as possible.

Step One: The Consultation

Before anything else, we ensure that Invisalign® is the right choice for you through a detailed consultation. We’ll discuss your dental history, your aesthetic goals, and ensure that Invisalign® can deliver the results you expect. Once we confirm that you’re an ideal candidate, we schedule your scanning session. We also will arrange x-rays of your mouth as we need to make sure your teeth and jaw bone are sound and healthy and we will do some assessments and measurements on your x-rays.

Step Two: The Scan

On the day of your scan, you’ll experience the cutting-edge technology that makes Invisalign® so effective. We use an intraoral camera to meticulously capture detailed images of your mouth. This camera is small and comfortable, designed to move easily around your mouth without causing any discomfort.

The intraoral camera captures precise, 3D images of your teeth and gums. These images are then sent directly to the Invisalign® lab. This technology allows us to avoid the mess and discomfort of traditional dental impressions. Instead, you’ll enjoy a quick, clean, and comfortable experience as we gather all the necessary data for your treatment plan.

Visualising the Future

One of the most thrilling parts of this initial step is the sneak peek into your future. The images we send to the lab are used not just to design your aligners but also to create a digital simulation of your treatment. This means that even before your aligners are made, you’ll be able to see a projection of how your teeth will move over time, culminating in the final result—your new smile.

The entire scanning process is pain-free. You won’t have to endure any discomfort; instead, you can relax knowing that your smile transformation is in good hands. Our team at Excellence in Dentistry is trained to ensure that your experience is as easy and straightforward as possible.
