Invisalign
The Clear Alternative
Confidence often begins with a smile. But when you have crooked, gappy, and overcrowded teeth, you may feel self-conscious, preferring instead to hide your smile.
Worrying about your appearance can kill confidence, and you might find yourself holding back from meeting your true potential in many aspects of your life.
Braces can fix your smile. However, the thought of wearing noticeable brackets and wires on your teeth for a prolonged period might put you off straightening your teeth.
But there is another way. Invisalign’s clear removable aligners can perfect your smile. Discreet translucent Invisalign aligners straighten your teeth without letting the rest of the world know they’re even there.
The Science
Behind Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are made using SmartTrack, a patented medical-grade plastic. Your aligner places a small amount of pressure on your teeth. Over time, this will slowly move them into their perfect position.
Each Invisalign aligner is custom-made to match the specific positions of your teeth. During your treatment, you’ll use a series of aligners, each minutely different to the last. Your treatment is carefully planned using the latest software. Every new aligner takes you a step further on your journey to a smile you’ll love.
Invisalign treatment can:
-
Reduce overcrowding
-
Close gaps between teeth
-
Straighten misalignments
-
Correct bite issues such as overbite, crossbite, and underbite
Why Choose Invisalign
Comfortable, Convenient, and Clear
The smooth Invisalign material ensures your aligners feel comfortable to wear. Unlike fixed metal braces, there’s no risk of scratching the inside of your mouth. Once you’ve got used to your aligner being in, you’ll barely notice it. Invisalign aligners are so agreeable you can easily sleep in them.
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners aren’t fixed. Because your aligner is removable, you can take it out to eat, brush your teeth, and floss. To get the best results from your treatment, you should keep it in for 20-22 hours a day.
One of the things patients most people love about Invisalign is that the aligners are clear. The subtlety of the translucent plastic means they’re barely visible while wearing them. Most people won’t even know you’ve got them.
Predictable Results You’ll Love
When you come in for your Invisalign assessment, we’ll use the latest technology to take digital scans of your teeth. These are mapped on 3D imaging software, which will plot a course to perfection. The software even shows us what your smile will look like after your treatment.
Seeing your future smile often provides the motivation needed to start treatment. Best of all, the smile we show you in the assessment is a great representation of the final result, provided you follow the treatment steps as planned.
An Essential Oral Health Boost
Invisalign doesn’t just make your smile look better — it improves your overall oral health.
Overcrowded, gappy, and misaligned teeth are difficult to keep clean. Plaque and tartar easily form around the parts of the tooth that can’t be reached, eventually leading to decay. Uniform spacing makes cleaning easier.
Sometimes, the position of your teeth causes them to wear unevenly. You may also experience bite issues that cause pain in your jaw, neck, shoulders, and head. Correcting the position of your teeth fixes this.
No Uncomfortable Adjustments
Fixed braces use a metal wire held by brackets. Tooth movement occurs when this wire is tightened. But adjusting the wire may be uncomfortable. With Invisalign, there’s no need for adjustments — we’ll just replace the aligner. You get a straighter smile without the hassle.
Not Just for Teens
It’s often assumed that orthodontic treatments are just for teenagers. But we can correct tooth position later in life too. The subtlety of Invisalign aligners makes straightening your teeth more appealing for all ages.
Your New
Smile Journey
Giving You the Right Impression
We’ll start your Invisalign journey with an initial assessment. Using digital scans, we can show you what your smile will look like after treatment. These scans give us all the information needed for the lab to make your aligners.
There’s no need for messy impressions of your teeth— taking the scan is straightforward and stress-free.
Your New Aligner
After the lab sends your aligners back to us, you can start treatment. We’ll ensure they fit well and talk you through how to get the best from Invisalign so you’re set for success.
Depending on the complexity of your tooth movement, you may have between 12 and 48 sets of aligners during your treatment. Each new aligner is worn for around two weeks.
To achieve your dream smile, you’ll need to wear your aligner for 20-22 hours each day, taking them out only to eat, drink, floss, and brush.
Retaining Your Results
After we’ve aligned your teeth, we want the changes to last a lifetime. To preserve the results, we’ll give a retainer to wear.
