Invisalign ®️ aligners are a protocol of advanced technology, which offer faster and more accurate results in teeth repositioning, providing a more beautiful and aligned smile.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign ®️ aligners are transparent and practically invisible when placed on your teeth. This means you can discreetly correct your smile without interfering with your aesthetic appearance.

What is the iTero™ scanner used in Invisalign®️ treatment?
The iTero™ scanner is a device that scans the patient's mouth in a matter of minutes.
The device provides accurate images for an instant digital view of the occlusion.
Images generated by the device are adopted for more detailed planning of treatment with Invisalign®️.
With the associated technologies, it is possible for the patient to observe even a three-dimensional simulation of the expected results.
What is the Invisalign®️ placement process like?
The process consists of these main steps:
- Consultation with an orthodontic specialist, who will evaluate your case and determine if treatment is right for you.
- If so, photos, X-rays, and digital scans of your teeth and jaw are taken.
- With this information, it is possible to plan your treatment using specialized software.
- From the digital planning, customized aligners that will be used in your treatment are produced.
- Aligners are changed every two weeks, following the treatment plan determined by your orthodontist. Each aligner change will gradually move your teeth until they reach the desired position.
- You may feel slight changes right away with the first aligners, but the exact length of your treatment depends on the complexity of your diagnosis. Some cases can be completed in up to 6 months.
