Treatment Plan
The treatment plan is built around problems and issues the patient brings into treatment. Ivan will discuss how these issues will be dealt with, how long the treatment time will be and how much it will cost.
Ivan treats each patient individually and therefore a treatment plan is devised to suit their own “unique” requirements.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental provider.
