Dr Gin Wong is a qualify Invisalign provider. You will start with an initial orthodontic consultation appointment to make sure you are the right candidate for the treatment. Photos, x-rays and very accurate impression are made to record an imprint of your upper and lower teeth. The records are then couriered to Invisalign headquarter in America. Invisalign dental technician will diagnose and convert all the information into a digital platform. Using Align Technology’s proprietary software, Dr Gin Wong will create a customised 3D treatment plan. This plan will show you the final position your teeth are predicted to reach. This plan will also inform you of the likely length of the treatment. The customised aligners will be manufactured and shipped to your dentist’s clinic. Your series of custom-made aligners will be given to you (typically 3-4 sets at a time) for you to wear every day and change approximately every 1-2 weeks. You will visit your Invisalign trained dentist approximately every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive the next series of aligners.
