If you’re considering Invisalign and wondering “How does the Invisalign process work step by step?”, you’re not alone. At Contemporary Dental in Exeter, we’ve designed a clear, supportive Invisalign journey that combines advanced digital technology with expert care from Dr Hanbury and Dr Harding.
Here’s exactly what to expect from your first assessment to your final smile.
Step 1: Complimentary Assessment & 3D Scan
Your Invisalign journey begins with a complimentary consultation at Contemporary Dental Exeter.
At this visit, we’ll:
- Discuss your smile goals and concerns
- Carry out a 3D digital scan of your teeth
- Show you what your smile could look like after treatment
- Explain how Invisalign works and whether it’s right for you
There are no messy impressions and no pressure, just clear information to help you decide your next step.
Step 2: Record Taking & Appointment With one of our Invisalign Dentists
If you choose to proceed, you’ll attend a detailed record-taking appointment with one of our experienced Dentists.
This appointment allows us to:
- Take precise clinical records
- Assess your bite, alignment, and overall oral health
- Begin planning your personalised Invisalign treatment
Every Invisalign journey is tailored, and this step ensures your treatment is accurate, safe, and effective.
Step 3: Smile Preview
One of the most exciting stages of the Invisalign process is seeing your future smile.
You’ll have a digital video of your treatment plan sent to you, where you can:
- View a digital preview of how your teeth will move
- See your expected final result
This step gives you confidence and clarity before treatment begins.
Step 4: The Big Day – Aligners Fitted & Treatment Begins
Once your custom clear aligners are ready, it’s time to start.
At your fitting appointment, you’ll:
- Receive your Invisalign clear aligners
- Be shown exactly how to wear and care for them
- Receive a goodie bag to support you at home
From this point, your Invisalign journey is officially underway.
Step 5: Progress Reviews With Flexible Appointment Options
Throughout your Invisalign journey, we’ll carefully monitor your progress with regular review appointments at the practice. These visits allow the Dentist to check how your teeth are moving and ensure your treatment is progressing exactly as planned.
For patients who are travelling, live further away, or need extra flexibility, we can also offer virtual review appointments when appropriate.
During your reviews, we:
- Monitor tooth movement and alignment
- Ensure your Invisalign treatment stays on track
- Provide personalised guidance and support
Whether in person or virtually, you’ll receive the same expert care and attention at every stage of your Invisalign journey.
Step 6: Complimentary Whitening & Retainers
Your Invisalign journey ends with the finishing touches.
At your final visit, you’ll receive:
- Complimentary teeth whitening – worth £425
- Free removable retainers to maintain your new smile – worth £280
- Free session with our oral health educator at the start of Invisalign treatment – worth £30
This ensures your results are not only straight, but bright, confident, and long-lasting.
