How Clear Aligner Treatment Works at Villa Orthodontics
1. Your Free Consultation
At your first visit, Dr. Villa examines your smile and bite and tells you honestly whether clear aligners, braces, or a combination will get you the best result — and what your insurance is likely to cover.
2. Your Custom Treatment Plan
We take fast, precise 3D scans with our iTero® digital scanner — no goopy impressions. You’ll see a digital preview of how your teeth will move before your first set of aligners is ever made.
3. Your Custom Clear Aligners
Your aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth exactly. They’re nearly invisible, removable for meals, brushing, sports, and band practice, and you’ll switch to a fresh set every one to two weeks as your teeth move.
4. Your Progress
Your teeth shift gently and gradually with each new set of aligners. Quick check-ins at our Glen Allen office — usually every 6 to 10 weeks — keep treatment on track without interrupting school or work schedules.
5. Keeping Your New Smile
When treatment is complete, a custom retainer protects your investment. We’ll fit yours and show you exactly how to wear and care for it so your new smile stays put.
