Dr. Pauline Karanja A23 - What To Expect From Your Invisalign® Journey

From consultation to confident smile; discover every step of your Invisalign® journey with Dr. Pauline Karanja. Comfort, clarity & real results await!

So, You’re Thinking About Invisalign® Let’s Break It Down

Getting started with Invisalign® is more than just straightening your teeth; it’s a full-on transformation experience. From your first consultation to the day you reveal your final smile, every step is designed to be smooth, subtle, and surprisingly simple.

But what should you expect? Let’s walk through it together, because a confident smile starts with feeling prepared.


Step 1: Your First Consultation; It All Starts Here

No pressure, no poking around; just a friendly chat with Dr. Pauline Karanja to get to know your smile. She’ll examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and answer all your questions.

Then comes the cool part: a 3D digital scan of your teeth using the iTero® 5D scanner. This futuristic tech lets you see your potential smile outcome before treatment even begins. Yep, a preview of your future grin!


Step 2: Your Custom Aligners Are Created

Once your plan is locked in, your unique set of clear aligners is custom-made. Think of them like invisible puzzle pieces, each one guiding your teeth gently into place; no metal, no wires, no drama.

The aligners will arrive in a few weeks, and guess what? You can start your journey without anyone even noticing.


Step 3: Wearing Your Aligners; Comfortably Invisible

Here’s where the real magic happens. You’ll wear each set of aligners for 20–22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink (anything but water), and brush.

Don’t worry; they’re super comfy. Most patients say they feel snug, but not painful. Just enough pressure to know it’s working. It’s kind of like your teeth are hitting the gym; small reps, big gains.

Every 1–2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set. You’ll actually start seeing changes within the first few weeks. And let me tell you, it’s a confidence booster like no other.

Step 4: Check-ins with Dr. Karanja; Minimal but Meaningful

No monthly tightening like traditional braces. You’ll check in with Dr. Karanja every 6–8 weeks to track progress, get new aligners, and make sure everything’s on track.

Busy schedule? No problem. Many follow-ups can be done virtually, making it super convenient even if you’re traveling or juggling work and life.


Step 5: The Big Reveal; Hello, Dream Smile!

The day you finish your final set of aligners is a chef’s kiss. Your teeth are straighter, your bite is better, and your confidence? Sky-high.

To keep that smile looking sharp, you’ll wear a retainer, usually at night, to make sure your teeth stay in their new home.
