Invisalign
Your First Consultation
Choosing Invisalign treatment is an important dental and financial decision, so it’s essential that you find the right doctor.
At your initial consultation, Atlanta’s Invisalign dentist, Dr. McLean will discuss your needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.
Perfect Your Smile
- Your Custom Treatment Plan: Dr. McLean will take impressions of your teeth to understand their shape and alignment. Then Dr. McLean will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be.
- Your Invisalign Clear Aligners: Your custom-made aligners will be virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening. Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, taking them out to eat and to brush and floss.
- Your Progress: As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. Doctor McLean may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule check-ups every six weeks or so. At every stage, you’ll be able to see your progress and imagine how far your new smile will take you.
