Step 1: Schedule a Consultation

Your journey begins with a free initial consultation. During this visit, Dr. Youngquist or Dr. Kennedy will evaluate your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about what to expect. Learn why choosing Youngquist Kennedy Orthodontics makes a difference in your Invisalign experience.

Step 2: Get a Custom Treatment Plan

Once you decide to move forward, our team will take detailed digital scans of your teeth. These scans are used to create a custom Invisalign treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. You’ll even get to see a 3D preview of how your smile will transform!

Step 3: Receive Your Aligners

After your custom aligners are crafted, you’ll receive your first set. You’ll be instructed on how to wear and care for them. Generally, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Our team will also explain how often you’ll need to switch to a new set of aligners to keep your treatment on track.

Step 4: Regular Checkups

Throughout your Invisalign journey, you’ll visit your orthodontist every few weeks. These appointments are quick but important to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. Adjustments can be made if necessary to achieve the best possible results.

Step 5: Enjoy Your New Smile!

After completing your series of aligners, you’ll reveal your beautifully straightened smile! To maintain your results, we’ll provide you with a retainer and instructions for long-term care.

Choosing an expert team like Youngquist Kennedy Orthodontics ensures you get the best results with Invisalign, whether you’re starting treatment as a teen or adult.
