Invisalign

 

Invisalign is a revolutionary, ever evolving clear aligner system which enables teeth to be straightened discreetly. This is done through the use of clear aligners which are worn on the teeth which engage with tooth coloured attachments placed on the teeth to move the them into the desired position.

Invisalign requires tooth coloured attachments to be fixed to the teeth to facilitate their movement.

Invisalign trays must be worn for 22 hours a day. Failure to do this will result in the teeth not moving as planned. Invisalign appointments are every 4-6-8 weeks apart depending on the type of Invisalign treatment provided. Failure to adhere to these intervals will mean that the movement of the teeth cannot be checked by the dentist, this may alter the end result.

Invisalign is a virtually invisible way to align and straighten the teeth. Using advanced 3D computer aided technology, your complete projected treatment plan can be visualised before starting your treatment, so you can see the end result before beginning. Following this, a complete series of clear aligners can be made bespoke to your teeth and mouth moving them over a short period of time.

Each clear aligner must be worn for between one to two weeks before being replaced by the next aligner in the course of treatment, gradually moving towards the projected final planned position. The length of treatment time depends on the number of aligners and will be discussed specifically with your Invisalign dentist.
