What are Invisalign® clear aligners?

Invisalign® is a discreet, clear aligner system that gradually straightens your teeth over a period of time. These aligners are a popular option amongst those who would feel self-conscious wearing traditional braces. Invisalign® clear aligners are essentially invisible and nobody will be able to tell you are wearing them.

Invisalign® braces are custom made to your individual smile, making them a comfortable option. In addition, these aligners are easily removable for meal times and special events.

How does Invisalign® teeth straightening work?

Invisalign® clear aligners are tailored to your unique smile. They are customised to fit your teeth comfortably and gradually shift them into the desired position. Each aligner should be worn consistently for 1-2 weeks and only removed for a maximum of 2 hours per day until it’s time to transition to the next set.

To begin, our friendly clinicians will take detailed measurements of your mouth to help plan your dream smile. Invisalign uses cutting-edge technology to create accurate 3D scans of your smile. Rather than taking a mouthful of messy impressions, our 3D scanner reproduces your current smile digitally.

Next, we design your ideal smile and showcase it through a simulation illustrating how your teeth will shift. During this phase, we’ll inform you about the number of aligners needed. We’ll also discuss any necessary adjustments to your teeth to facilitate movement and create space, highlighting the placement of attachments. These attachments are small, white fillings placed on specific teeth to inte

We’ll schedule regular check-ins during your Invisalign treatment to track your progress and ensure your teeth are shifting as planned. When we reach the last aligner and achieve the desired outcome, we’ll gently polish your teeth to remove the attachments and conduct a final scan of your smile in 3D. This scan will be utilised to craft a retainer for you. It’s highly recommended to wear your retainers nightly while you sleep to maintain and safeguard your newly perfected smile.

Invisalign® teeth straightening is not suitable for…

During your Invisalign consultation at our practice, our professional clinicians will discuss whether this treatment is suitable for you. If you are showing signs of gum disease, this will need to be treated before you can start using Invisalign® clear aligners. You must also have all of your adult teeth to be suitable for Invisalign.

Invisalign® or traditional braces? What’s the difference?

Traditional braces are made using metal, plastic or ceramic brackets, fixed in place with wires. While these conventional braces are clinically proven to deliver very effective results, they can be obvious and a little unsightly. The solution can be found in the form of Invisalign® clear aligners.

Unlike traditional braces, with Invisalign®, there is no tightening to be done – no changing of wires and no elastic bands to get in the way. This means that the Invisalign system is also more comfortable than conventional braces.

What Invisalign® can’t fix

There are some limitations to the system. Invisalign® clear aligners can’t fix large gaps between the teeth, nor can they fix a severely crooked tooth that needs to be rotated significantly. Invisalign also can’t lower or raise the position of the tooth in the jawline.

During your Invisalign® consultation, our friendly and approachable clinicians will discuss the best treatment option for your oral health. If Invisalign is not suitable and can’t fix your dental issue, we can recommend an alternative treatment plan.

Invisalign® aftercare

Wearing a retainer is one of the biggest parts of your Invisalign® aftercare. You should wear your retainers every night to keep your teeth in their desired alignment.

We also recommend visiting our practice twice a year, or every six months, for regular dental check-ups with your Invisalign dentist. Combining this with maintaining good oral hygiene at home will sustain your Invisalign® results.

Invisalign® pricing

The cost of teeth straightening with Invisalign® can depend on your tailored treatment plan. This can vary from patient to patient based on the complexity of their orthodontic issue.
