We often do impressions and records on the day of the consultations, so there's 1. Then you need a delivery date, that's 2. If you didn't do the impressions on your first visit that would be 3 appointments.
As stated in another answer,we do everything for the patient in one appointment..The second appointment is the delivery appointment...Dr Thomas
Hi! The first visit is a consultation and if you are ready for records and invisalign impressions that day, and your teeth are healthy and all your dental work is up to date and complete, then we could take the invisalign impressions that day. From that point it takes about 4 weeks to get the invisalign trays.
If you were coming to my practice, you and I would first meet to do a consultation where take and review digital photos of your smile and we discuss your goals. If everything looks healthy and you're ready to go, we can make your records (impressions, etc) that same day. You will have the option to review the clin-check with me in a couple of weeks. Otherwise, we will deliver your trays about 3-4 weeks after your impressions are made. And, you'll be on your way to a great smile.
At the first visit, goals are discussed and a discussion on Invisalign (and if it is appropriate for you) is done. If you are ready, financial arrangements are complete and current dental condition allows initiation of treatment, one could start right then (making it only one visit). If financing needed to get in order, oral health was not good enough, or a person just wasn't quite ready, then another visit (or more) would be necessary.

Teeth have the possibility of changing position throughout life. This is true whether or not there has been orthodontic treatment. So, for the best insurance that your new, beautiful smile will last for a lifetime, continue to use your retainer during sleeping hours - at least several nights a week.
If you have begun treatment with your invisalign aligners then all the aligners have been manufactured and the cost to the dentist has been paid. It is the decision of the office that you are working with to give you a refund or not. Work with your dental office to come up with a...
Invisalign aligners can maintain a space, in the front or the back, to make future treatment more ideal. This is common when planning an implant or bridge.
I guess its supply and demand. But east coast dentists charge more than west coasters. You may have to look around and see if there are more afordable ones,but remember the cheaper isnt always better. Get a provider that has done a lot of cases to be safe.
Another concern with swimming with them in is if you take in a lot of water. The aligners COULD trap the chemically treated water around the teeth and over time may affect the enamel. Swimmers teeth is common with competitive swimmers and could be worsened with aligners. Maybe.
