What Treatment Looks Like at Gentle Dental Rochester
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
During your first visit, we’ll evaluate your teeth and bite using digital imaging to determine if Invisalign is right for you. You’ll get a clear picture of the expected timeline, cost, and results.
2. Custom Aligners Creation
We’ll capture accurate impressions (often using digital scanners) and send them to the Invisalign lab. You’ll receive a series of custom aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into the ideal position.
3. Wear & Progress
You’ll wear each aligner tray for approximately 20‑22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss. Every 1‑2 weeks (or per your plan), you’ll switch to the next tray. Periodic check‑ups at Gentle Dental ensure progress stays on track.
4. Completion & Retention
Once your treatment goal is reached, you’ll transition to a retainer schedule to maintain your beautiful new smile.

Is Invisalign Right for You?
While Invisalign is a highly effective option, it may not be suitable for every case, especially severe jaw‑growth issues or complex surgical cases. At your consultation, we’ll assess:
- Your alignment and bite condition
- Your commitment to wearing aligners as directed
- Your lifestyle and aesthetic goals
