What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a treatment that consists of aligners that are worn over the teeth to push them into their desired positioning over a period of time, usually ranging from 6 to 18 months depending on your specific needs. The aligners are transparent so that when they are worn, they can’t be seen and only your teeth will show through. The aligners are removable allowing for maximum comfort and convenience, as well as discretion. The aligners are also custom-made to fit your mouth with precision, which means that you should be able to avoid the discomfort that can sometimes be felt with alternative treatment methods.

How are the aligners custom-fitted to my mouth?

Using iTero technology, here at our clinic, we will take a digital scan of your mouth and from this we will have the measurements required to send to the laboratories for your aligners to be manufactured. We will also be able to generate a 3D animation of how your teeth will appear after the treatment has been completed before you get started, which can be a really great motivational factor to encourage wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours a day!

What else do I need to know about Invisalign?

As the aligners may be removed for up to 2 hours a day, it means that you don’t need to wear them when you are eating and drinking, so you won’t have to clean them up after meals. You will also be able to brush and floss as normal, avoiding any increased risk of dental complications as a result of not being able to do so. This can sometimes happen with other treatments such as fixed metal braces – it can be hard to clean properly around wires and brackets! You should also find that the aligners are much less easy to break, fixed braces can be prone to accident with their delicate wires and brackets. Which means that you shouldn’t need to have as much time off work or school to come and see us for emergency appointments.

A further consideration about Invisalign is the fact that improving the appearance of your teeth should also improve your self-esteem. Once you have the beautiful smile you’ve dreamt about, you will want to show it at every given opportunity.

To find out if Invisalign is the right treatment for you, simply book in for a consultation with our dentist Harley Street. We will examine your mouth and discuss the treatment options with you, and you can ask any questions you need to. Together, we will find a way to get you the beautiful smile you’re after. If it isn’t realignment you need, we’ve got a whole range of treatments to ensure that you and your smile are working together in harmony.
