Invisalign abroad

[Lydia]

Hello,

I'd like to ask more about Invisalign. I do not live anywhere close to England, and in the area I live there isn't a way of getting Invisalign. So I'd like to know if it was possible in any way to come for as short time as few weeks or so to get Invisalign. Because I believe after getting Invisalign I could simply visit the orthodontist in my area for check-ups. That is unless the diagnosis for Invisalin takes much longer.

Dear Lydia,

Thank you for your post.

To start invisalign one visit is necessary to take the invisalign clincheck video records. These include 8 photos, 2 moulds, a bite record and a full mouth x-ray. These records are sent and e-mailed to invisalign in the US and usually within 1 month the clincheck video is generated and the invisalign treatment planned. This video can then be e-mailed to you anywhere in the world.

During invisalign treatment your invisalign orthodontist needs to see you once every 4-6 weeks. If the orthodontist in your area is invisalign certified and trained, he/she can then start and complete your treatment. Alternatively if you travelled to the UK every 6 weeks your treatment can be continued at Pearl.
