Invisalign is a game-changer in orthodontics, thanks to several cutting-edge technological advancements.
1. Advanced 3D Imaging and Mapping: Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a comprehensive digital map of your teeth. This allows for precise planning and simulation of each stage of your treatment, ensuring optimal results tailored to your unique dental structure.
2. SmartTrack Material: The aligners themselves are made from SmartTrack material, a patented, multilayer polymer designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure. This innovative material enhances comfort and improves the efficiency of tooth movements compared to traditional aligner materials.
3. Smart Force Attachments: SmartForce attachments are tiny, tooth-coloured shapes that are bonded to your teeth. These work in conjunction with the aligners to apply the right amount of force in the right direction, achieving complex movements that were once only possible with traditional braces.
4. Customization with Precision Cutting: Each set of aligners is custom-cut using high-precision equipment to ensure a perfect fit. This level of customization extends to the trimming of aligners to match your gum line, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.
5. ClinCheck Software: Invisalign's proprietary ClinCheck software visualizes your treatment plan from start to finish. This software not only helps orthodontists plan and track your progress but also lets patients see a digital representation of their future smile before treatment even begins.
Over 15 million individuals around the globe, have opted for Invisalign® clear aligners to enhance their smiles and dental health. Backed by over two decades of ongoing research and innovation, Invisalign stands as the leading clear aligner system in today's market. Book a consultation today!
Invisalign teeth aligners offer an excellent solution for straightening teeth discreetly, utilising a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners. These aligners gently apply pressure to specific teeth. This helps to gradually shift them to their desired positions without the need for wires or fixed brackets.
During the treatment process, each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series. This sequential progression continues until the teeth have achieved their final alignment. By following this procedure, you can attain a renewed smile, significantly enhancing your self-assurance.
For the treatment to be effective, it is essential to wear the clear aligners for a minimum of 22 hours per day. However, you can conveniently remove them for activities such as brushing, flossing, eating, and drinking.

Week 1-2:
During the first week or two, you'll need to adjust to the feeling of wearing the aligners in your mouth. They may feel slightly uncomfortable or tight initially, but this should subside as you get used to them.
Month 1-2:
After wearing the aligners for a few weeks, you may start noticing some subtle changes in the position of your teeth. This can include minor shifts or rotations as the aligners begin to exert gentle pressure on your teeth.
Month 2-4:
By this time, you may start seeing more noticeable improvements in the alignment of your teeth. Gaps between teeth may begin to close, and teeth that were previously crooked or misaligned may start to straighten out. These changes can vary depending on the complexity of your case.
Month 4-6:
As you continue wearing your Invisalign aligners, you'll likely observe significant improvements in the appearance of your smile. Teeth that were once crowded may become more evenly spaced, resulting in a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile. If you had bite issues such as overbite or underbite, you may see your bite alignment gradually improve.
Month 6 and beyond:
Towards the later stages of your Invisalign treatment, you'll be nearing the completion of your journey. At this point, your teeth should be significantly straighter and better aligned. Your dentist or orthodontist may make minor adjustments to the aligners or provide additional aligners for better results.

Advantages of Invisalign:
Ideal Candidates:
Consultation and Customization:
A comprehensive consultation with your orthodontist will assess your specific needs. During this consultation, all options will be discussed, ensuring you have enough information to make an informed decision.
Answer: Invisalign offers several benefits over traditional braces, including:
Answer: Invisalign is suitable for most teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth. However, it may not be the best option for severe orthodontic cases. A consultation with our dentist can determine if Invisalign is right for you.
Answer: Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign just like they would other orthodontic treatments such as braces. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and benefits.
Answer: You may experience a slight lisp for a few days as you get used to wearing Invisalign aligners. However, most patients find that their speech returns to normal quickly.
Answer: For the best results, you should wear your Invisalign clear aligners for 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing.
Answer: You should remove your Invisalign aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining and damaging them. Always brush and floss your teeth before putting your clear aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene.
Answer: Clean your Invisalign aligners by rinsing them with cold water and using a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any debris. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the plastic. Special Invisalign cleaning kits are also available for thorough cleaning.
Answer: You will need to visit our clinic approximately every 6 to 8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide you with your next set of clear aligners.
Invisalign attachments are tiny, tooth-coloured additions that are bonded to your teeth. These strategic little helpers look like small buttons and are key to making sure your Invisalign aligners work effectively.
Why are they important?
In short, Invisalign attachments are small but mighty elements of your orthodontic treatment, enhancing the predictability and success of your smile transformation.
Answer: Attachments are made from a tooth-coloured material that blends in with your teeth, making them less noticeable. However, they can be slightly visible, especially if you look closely.
Answer: Attachments are applied using a simple procedure where the dental composite is bonded to the surface of your teeth. They are removed at the end of the Invisalign treatment by your dentist, using a process that does not damage your teeth.
Answer: The duration for which you will need attachments varies depending on your specific treatment plan. Your dentist will provide you with a timeline and let you know when the attachments will be removed.
Answer: If an attachment falls off, contact your dentist as soon as possible to have it reattached. Continuing your treatment without the attachment can affect the effectiveness of your aligners.
Answer: Cleaning your teeth with attachments is similar to your regular oral hygiene routine. Brush and floss your teeth as usual, ensuring you clean around the attachments thoroughly to prevent plaque buildup.
Answer: Interproximal Reduction (IPR) is a dental procedure used during orthodontic treatments to create space between teeth. This involves gently polishing the sides of the teeth to remove a small amount of enamel, allowing teeth to move more freely and align properly.
Answer: Yes, IPR is a safe and common procedure. Only a minimal amount of enamel is removed, and the process is carefully controlled to avoid any damage to the teeth.
Answer: IPR is generally painless. You might feel some pressure or vibration during the procedure, but it is not usually uncomfortable. Anaesthesia is not typically required.
Answer: After completing your Invisalign treatment, you will need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. Retainers help prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position.
Answer: Invisalign additional aligners, also known as refinement aligners, are extra sets of aligners provided to patients who require further adjustments after the initial course of treatment. Despite the precision of the initial treatment plan, teeth might not move as expected, or additional movements might be needed to achieve the desired outcome. These refinement aligners help fine-tune the positioning of the teeth to ensure optimal results.
No, Invisalign is not available through the National Health Service (NHS) as it is classified under cosmetic treatments. Although you can't get Invisalign on the NHS, many people choose this option for its nearly invisible appearance and comfortable fit. Investing in Invisalign can lead to significant improvements in both oral health and self-esteem.
Completing Invisalign treatment is a significant step, but wearing retainers afterward is crucial to maintain your results. Initially, you will need to wear your retainers consistently, usually for several months to a year. This phase is vital to ensure your teeth settle into their new positions.
However, wearing retainers isn't just a short-term commitment. Orthodontists generally recommend wearing them most nights after completion. This long-term use is essential to keep your teeth stable and prevent them from shifting back.
By faithfully wearing your retainers as instructed, you can greatly reduce the risk of needing further orthodontic treatments in the future. Consistent retainer use is your best bet for preserving that perfect smile.
By adhering to these steps, you can enjoy long-lasting results from your Invisalign treatment. Remember, consistency is key.
