Invisalign®

Healthily-aligned teeth underpin good oral health and hygiene – and look great.

If you’re keen to improve crowded, spaced and poorly aligned teeth, Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most versatile, flexible and discreet brace options out there. A bespoke set of clear aligners, the Invisalign system has become a global market frontrunner, favoured by patients who are looking for a minimally-invasive alternative to fixed braces.

What else should I know about Invisalign®?

Each Invisalign aligner is tailor-made for your smile and gently guides your teeth into the desired position. Before teeth straightening with Invisalign even begins, you’ll be able to see what your smile looks like, thanks to state-of-the-art digital imaging. Many patients find this is a huge motivational boost, especially as treatment can take up to 18 months.

By collating information about your teeth and bite, including impressions, X-rays and images, the dedicated Invisalign can produce your bespoke aligners, which are sent back to us here at the practice. Once we receive these, you’re all set to begin treatment, wearing the aligners for 22 hours every day. Invisalign grants patients a 2-hour window each day where they can remove the aligners, and eat, chew and brush normally.

Getting braces no longer means being limited by chunky and uncomfortable metal braces, and Invisalign’s amazing degree of flexibility has continued to have great appeal to the modern adult over the years. A staggering 9 million people have benefitted from this innovative treatment since 2000.

How will this treatment benefit me?

Adaptable treatment that puts you first: Invisalign is all about putting you, the patient, first.

Cosmetically unobtrusive: Invisalign aligners are transparent and therefore, barely visible to others. However, if you’ve got a special occasion or important work event coming up and wish to take them out, you have this option, thanks to the 2-hour daily window.

No barrier to enjoying your food: fixed braces can be a barrier to enjoying some of the foods you like best. With Invisalign, there’s no limiting your diet, allowing you to take pleasure in eating whilst your teeth are straightened.

Straightforward smile maintenance: take your aligners out to brush and floss, just as you normally would.
