Washington D.C. Invisalign® Info

There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner system in the world.

At Shefferman Orthodontics in Washington, D.C., we’re proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, giving you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

  1. 1

    Your First Consultation

    At your initial consultation at our Washington, D.C. orthodontic office, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.

  2. 2

    Your Custom Treatment Plan

    We will use advanced digital scanning technology, such as the iTero® scanner, to create fast and precise 3D images of your teeth. Then, we will map out a customized treatment plan, including your teeth movements and estimated treatment time. You’ll even be able to preview your new smile.

  3. 3

    Your Invisalign Clear Aligners

    Your custom-made aligners will be created from Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

    Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss, for the best results.

  4. 4

    Your Progress

    As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend changing to a new set of aligners weekly and scheduling check-ups at our Washington, D.C. office every six weeks or so.

  5. 5

    Taking Care of Your New Smile

    When your Invisalign treatment is complete, we will discuss Vivera® retainers with you. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same advanced technology as Invisalign clear aligners to help maintain your new smile.

We look forward to meeting you at Shefferman Orthodontics in Washington, D.C., and helping you achieve a smile that’s made to move!
