Invisalign – this subtle effective treatment features a series of clear aligners that gradually move teeth to an improved position.

 

Invisalign can help treat a variety of orthodontic concerns including teeth which are crooked, crowded or with gaps – but because it is clear, removable and comfortable, it won’t interfere with your life.

 

Because it’s nearly invisible almost no-one can tell you are wearing Invisalign, so you can smile more during as well as after your treatment. You can remove Invisalign so you can eat and drink what you like, and studies have shown that it can be better for your dental hygiene during treatment as well! With no metal or sharp edges, Invisalign is comfortable to wear and does not cause allergies.

 

These aligners are created just for you using advanced technology, which also lets you see how the treatment will progress and what your teeth will look like when the straightening process is complete. They fit snugly, are barely noticeable, and can be taken out for short periods, so you can eat whatever you choose and clean your teeth normally.

 

The treatment process:

 

  • Photographs and impressions (or a scan) are taken and used to design a computerized 3D model of your teeth.
  • The 3D model (clincheck) will show your starting position and take you step by step through the movement of your teeth until their final position is reached. This can be adjusted with your dentist until you are happy with the end result before the actual treatment has started.
  • Innovative 3D technology creates a set of tailor-made aligners.

Ceramic braces – these are fixed to the teeth but the ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires ensure the brace is much less noticeable, but just as effective, as a traditional one.

Removable appliances – The Inman Aligner is a removable appliance which can be used for crowding or protrusion of the front teeth. It is really efficient, very safe and great value. With the patented Inman Aligner, your front teeth can be gently guided to an ideal position in a matter of weeks. Most cases complete in 6-18 weeks and because it’s removable you can take it out to fit with your lifestyle.

 

More about adult orthodontics 

 

To help reduce the risk of tooth decay or gum disease, you will need to carefully clean around the brackets if you have fixed braces. Invisalign aligners are removable so you can simply take them out to give your teeth a thorough clean.

 

After treatment, as with all orthodontic procedures, you will have to wear a retainer so your straightened teeth stay in their new, improved position.
