What is the direct answer?

Your first Invisalign trays usually arrive after an examination, digital scan, treatment plan, and approval of the tray design.

What does this question mean?

Invisalign trays are custom thermoformed aligners made from a digital model of your teeth. Records include photographs and a scan or impressions, followed by review of the planned tooth movements.

What can you do next?

Complete fillings or gum treatment identified during the examination. At fitting, the clinician checks tray seating, attachments, edges, and wear instructions.

When should you seek dental care?

Call the orthodontic team if a tray does not seat or an attachment loosens. Seek urgent care for severe pain, facial swelling, or dental injury.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask whether your records are complete, whether other treatment comes first, and what will be checked at the first fitting.
