The process of receiving your Invisalign can vary but it usually takes up to four weeks. The first step is to schedule an appointment with your dentist for a consultation. At that time, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to Invisalign.

The impression process should be done at least two weeks before you receive your tray (and up to four weeks). Once the trays are made by Invisalign they are shipped to your dentist. When you receive your trays they will be sterilized and wrapped in plastic for you.

Invisalign trays are clear, custom-fitted mouth guards. They are made of a polymer that is both soft and flexible while still being strong enough to be worn on teeth all day long. The alignment keys are the only parts of the tray that touch the teeth, which allows it to move with natural jaw action.

The first thing you should do when wearing Invisalign is to strictly follow these instructions below:

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day. This helps prevent dehydration which can lead to unwanted tooth movement.
• Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste (or use any toothpaste recommended by your dental professional) and floss at least once.
• Avoid sticky, chewy foods like taffy, gum, marshmallows, or caramel—all of these can cause the teeth to shift out of position.
• Do not use oral pain relievers that contain alcohol (such as mouthwash) because they will dry out your mouth and lead to unwanted tooth movement.
• Avoid chewing on anything hard such as ice cubes or pens if you are experiencing discomfort. This may be the sign of an issue with one or more teeth; please contact your dentist immediately.

In conclusion, if you are looking to straighten or improve the appearance of your teeth, Invisalign is for you. Don’t believe me? Just search it on Google and be amazed by what you see.
