The Invisalign Fitting Process Explained

Aug 11, 2022

According to Healthline, for Invisalign to work effectively, it’s important to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. If you're willing to put in the effort for a beautiful smile, consider getting Invisalign over traditional braces. That said, before you can think of finding the right provider for you, here's what you need to know about the Invisalign fitting process.

Your First Consultation

Your first appointment is crucial to the Invisalign fitting process. This is when a qualified orthodontist thoroughly examines your mouth and teeth and discusses your goals with you. Your orthodontist will help you determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If it's right for you, they will proceed to the digital molding process, which is used to create an accurate model of your mouth and teeth. The mold will then be used to create the set of aligners that you have to wear for the duration of the treatment.

Picking Up Your First Trays

Once your custom-made aligners are back from the Invisalign laboratory, then it's time to get your first tray fitted. That means returning for a pick-up. At this point, your orthodontist will fit your clear aligners, which are designed to be discreet and almost invisible. They are also painless to install and can be removed, unlike metal braces. Your orthodontist will check that your aligners fit, and they will also walk you through the process of taking care of your aligners. After that, you're ready to go with your aligners in place, which will slowly work to correct your smile.

Your Follow-Up Appointments

Keep in mind that you may need to return for follow-up appointments to ensure you're still on track with your treatment. Your orthodontist will check that your trays fit properly and your tooth movements are going as expected. You will have to wear a series of aligners, and changing to a new aligner ensures that there's enough pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct position. The good news is that you won't need too many follow-up appointments – just enough to ensure you're pleased with the final results.


Knowing as much as you can about the Invisalign fitting process helps you manage your expectations and puts your mind at ease. If you're ready to schedule a consultation with a certified provider or you would like more information, don't hesitate to contact Becker Orthodontics.
