Invisalign®: The Invisible Way to Straighten Your Teeth
Invisalign® offers an innovative and discreet solution for teeth straightening without the need for traditional metal braces. With removable aligners that are practically invisible, Invisalign® allows you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing, enabling you to smile confidently throughout your treatment and beyond.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
Invisalign® offers several advantages over traditional braces, making it a preferred option for many adults and teenagers. Here’s why it could be the perfect choice for you:
- Invisible: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so no one will know you’re straightening your teeth. You can smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
- Removable: You can remove your Invisalign® aligners when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. This means there are no food restrictions, and maintaining oral hygiene is as easy as ever.
- Comfortable: Without the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces, Invisalign® is designed to be more comfortable, eliminating the risk of mouth abrasions and irritation.
- Convenient: Invisalign® treatment typically requires fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments compared to metal braces, making it a more time-efficient option.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a revolutionary way to straighten teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. Unlike traditional braces with metal wires and brackets, Invisalign® aligners gradually move your teeth into the desired position without being noticed. This system has been proven effective in clinical research and is used by dentists and orthodontists worldwide, including thousands of practices in the United Kingdom.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
- Aligner Series: You will wear each set of Invisalign® aligners for at least two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Each new aligner moves your teeth little by little, week by week until they’re perfectly straight.
- Treatment Time: The average treatment time for Invisalign® is between 9 to 15 months, with the total number of aligners worn typically ranging from 18 to 30, depending on your individual case.
- Routine Checkups: You’ll visit your dentist approximately every 6 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Can I go to any dentist or orthodontist for Invisalign® treatment?
Not all dentists or orthodontists are Invisalign®-trained. Only those who have completed specialised training are qualified to offer this treatment.
How is Invisalign® different from other teeth straightening options?
Invisalign® is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable, clear, and comfortable. There are no wires or brackets, which means you can continue to brush and floss normally and eat all your favourite foods.
Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?
No! Because Invisalign® aligners are removable, you can take them out while eating and drinking, so there are no food restrictions.
