INVISALIGN

We straighten, you smile. 

​

At your new patient examination a thorough intra oral scan using our state of the art technology will be completed to start the Invisalign process. At this stage your dentist can show you a AI generated simulation of how your teeth may look with having Invisalign.

​

If you like what you see and would like to proceed, your dentist will create your bespoke treatment plan with Invisalign called a Clincheck- this will be ready for you to view within 2 weeks of your new patient examination appointment. Your package cost will be confirmed with your Clincheck.

Once you are happy with the proposed plan your aligners will arrive in clinic approximately 2 weeks later for fitting, we then see you every few weeks (case dependant) to give you your next aligners. Change your aligners every 1 - 2  weeks and discretely move your teeth into your dream smile.

​

Treatment on average takes 6 months but this is patient dependent and depends on the complexity of the case. This will be confirmed with your Clincheck.

​

Simply wear your aligners every day, except when eating/drinking and see your dream smile come to life with our almost invisible aligners, removing the traditional train track look. The best bit about it? Your teeth are then set for life, no repeat treatment needed, pending suitable retainers which are included in all of our packages.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INVISALIGN

Is Invisalign better than braces?

This depends on the patients tooth positioning. In some complex cases, Invisalign is unable to help, however Invisalign offers advanced technology developed and trialled over 18 million patients worldwide. Invisalign uses 3D visual interface letting your Invisalign Doctor customise your treatment, tailoring your results to your desired outcome and allowing us to move each tooth in the right order at the right time. The state of the art software allows us to calculate the right amount of force for every tooth movement.

​

The main benefit of Invisalign is the speed of which it works and the fact it is almost invisible in comparison to traditional train tracks. Danica has had both treatments. It is important to understand with Invisalign we can cosmetically significantly improve your smile but we may not be able to achieve 100% perfection, however if you would like a quicker treatment plan that is less visible this is the perfect solution for you.

​

Does Invisalign hurt?

With any form of orthodontic treatment, your teeth can be tender when aligners are changed or bands/wires changed if you're in fixed braces. This is because the treatment is doing what it is meant to and is moving your teeth. From Danica's personal experience, the first week is the worst, your teeth are particularly tender and it is an adjustment getting used to something foreign in your mouth. That being said, after sticking to softer foods for the first few days to be kind to my teeth, the discomfort subsides and it feels more normal. We advise mild to minimal discomfort is experienced during Invisalign treatment. 

​

Is Invisalign worth it?

We have never had a patient regret having treatment. Patients are usually going through treatment because they are conscious of their smile. With our Invisalign packages, once completed and they have straight teeth, we offer free tooth whitening and tooth contouring (polishing) to make subtle shape changes and lighten their shade for the finishing touch. The benefit of Invisalign over composite bonding for example, is it is done for life. Pending you wear your retainers, you will not require repeat treatment, whereas composite bonding, it does require replacing every 5-10 years. With Invisalign it also improves your bite, resulting less teeth being overloading and improving the longevity of your other teeth. If you are conscious of your smile, would like straighter whiter teeth that helps with your confidence and function, yes it is worth it.

​

How does Invisalign work?

First you have a New Patient consultation £120 with our dentist to confirm you're suitable and dentally fit. If you require essential dentistry such as fillings, we have to complete this prior to treatment by law. We then carry out a state of the art scan of your teeth that is pain free, no moulds everyone dreads, then in a few minutes it will show what your end result could look like after treatment. If you wish to proceed we then submit your scan and a Clincheck will be prepared in approximately 2-3 weeks. This is a more accurate simulation of how your teeth will move and what your end result will look like after you have finished your aligners. You wear each aligner for approximately a week but your dentist will advise you specifically. You should only take your aligners out to eat and drink and keep them in for at least 22 hours of the day. Once happy with your Clincheck (what your end result will look like) we sort payment and your aligners are usually delivered in 10-14 days. You then have your fit appointment and attend to see the dentist every 4-8 weeks on average for us to give you new aligners and monitor your treatment. Once finished we then carry out your whitening and you have aligners to hold your teeth in place. We also include the option of fixed retainers if you would like them at no additional cost.

​

What does Invisalign look like?

It is a clear thin aligner, almost like a very thin gum shield that fits tightly over your teeth as seen here. Some patients have attachments, which is small pieces of tooth coloured filling temporarily stuck to the tooth, to aid tooth movement. This vary per patient and are polished off once complete. It does not harm your tooth in any way. You can see exactly where your attachments will be when viewing your clincheck. Invisalign looks like a clear, shiny layer over your teeth, patients are surprised how thin they are and how quickly you get used to them. ​​

​

How do I choose where to have Invisalign?

This is down to where you feel most comfortable. Our clinic has a spa/hotel like feel which patients say is one of their favourite aspects, particularly those that are nervous. It relaxes you where it doesn't feel so clinical and helps make the visit to the dentist more enjoyable. Invisalign is one of our most popular treatments and something we carry out day in day out, so you're in safe and experienced hands. We offer various different types of payment options, including 0% finance options and up to 5 years with a small interest rate if you want to spread the cost over a longer period of time, this enables us to accommodate all budget types.  

​

Why is Invisalign so expensive?

Invisalign can be more expensive than traditional braces because of the advanced technology and custom-made aligners used in the treatment which effectively moves the teeth whilst being very discrete. Train tracks are a lot cheaper to purchase for the dental clinic.  Although treatment is usually quicker, you can spend more time with the dentist which increases the treatment cost. A lot of patients are actually surprised how affordable Invisalign is with our average patient approximately £3000-£4000. This also includes free whitening and tooth contouring to perfect your smile for less. The more complex the case, the more expensive the treatment for both train tracks and Invisalign. If you would like a cheaper option, but don't mind if it isn't discrete, train tracks or fixed braces may be a better option for you.

​

Why Invisalign over other clear braces?

Invisalign is often preferred over other clear braces due to its advanced technology, which includes a proprietary material called SmartTrack that provides better comfort and more predictable tooth movement, a detailed digital treatment plan that allows patients to see their projected results beforehand, and a reputation for proven effectiveness and clinical research backing its efficacy, making it considered a more reliable option for achieving desired results compared to other clear aligner systems. 

Key points about Invisalign's advantages over other clear braces:

• Superior technology: Invisalign utilizes sophisticated 3D imaging and software to create highly customized aligners, ensuring precise tooth movement and better treatment outcomes. 

• Comfort and fit: The SmartTrack material used in Invisalign aligners is designed to be more comfortable and provide consistent force throughout treatment. 

• Discreet appearance: Invisalign aligners are considered virtually invisible due to their clear, thin design. 

• Removable for eating and cleaning: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating and oral hygiene, making it easier to maintain dental care. 

• Treatment planning visibility: Patients can preview their projected treatment outcome using a digital simulation before starting treatment, allowing them to understand the expected results
