Absolutely. Depending on the type of malocclusion, early treatment is often recommended. Invisalign offers a specific solution for children in the age group of 6-10 years, known as ‘Invisalign First,’ which is particularly useful for early orthodontic intervention. Children are very willing to wear Invisalign aligners, which, compared to the traditional acrylic removable appliances, provide much higher comfort. Most importantly, they are worn for 22 out of 24 hours a day, which translates to treatment effectiveness and satisfaction for both parents and, most importantly, the child.

Invisalign appliances feature technologies tailored for teenagers to leverage their growth spurt and address significant skeletal issues, often allowing them to avoid surgical procedures in adulthood.

Invisalign appliances provide aesthetics and comfort. The aligners, made with advanced technology, ensure an exceptional smoothness of the surface. Undergoing orthodontic treatment is practically imperceptible to the surroundings and takes place without discomfort to the Patient.

Teeth are moved at a pace adjusted by the doctor. The aligner is changed weekly, which allows for slow and precise movement, positively impacting safety, bone regeneration, and soft tissue health.

Smile transformations at each of the Falkowski Dental Clinic locations are achieved through the close, standardized collaboration of the highly specialized team. This team includes doctors, coordinators, hygienists, and patient caregivers.

We all operate according to a single proprietary protocol, following standards developed based on the extensive experience of Invisalign Diamond Doctor, Dr. Mateusz Falkowski.

1.Orthodontic consultation. Taking scans of teeth, X-ray images (panoramic and cephalometric), and photographic documentation.

2. Familiarizing the patient with the treatment plan – clincheck. Computerized simulation of tooth movements illustrating the exact course of treatment. Acceptance of the treatment plan.

3. Commencing treatment – providing the patient with a set of Invisalign aligners. When placing Invisalign aligners, transparent composite attachments are applied to the teeth. These serve as points of force transfer from the aligner to the teeth, ensuring aesthetics.

4.Follow-up visits. The number of visits depends on the type of malocclusion and individual needs. Typically, once every 3-4 months for adult patients, once every 2 months for children. During each visit, the fit of the aligner is checked, tooth movements relative to the plan are assessed, and additional scans or attachments are applied if necessary.

5. Completion of treatment, removal of attachments, and teeth polishing. Making retainer appliances. At the end of treatment, either fixed or Vivera removable retainers are made.

Vivera consists of three sets of identical aligners, which are created based on a final scan of the patient’s tooth alignment. The scan is stored in the software’s memory for free – this allows for ordering an additional set of retainers, for example, in case all three sets are lost.

6. Retention follow-up visits after the end of treatment.

We place great emphasis on the quality of services and the effective treatment of every malocclusion. Therefore, throughout the treatment process, the patient remains under the care of an Invisalign coordinator and the supervising doctor – the head of Invisalign at the chosen location, with whom they also have direct contact in case of any need. In emergencies, both the coordinator and the doctor are available to the patient on the same or next day.

Each treatment plan (clincheck) is created by Dr. Mateusz Falkowski according to a proprietary protocol, based on years of experience in treating with Invisalign appliances.
