If you dislike your teeth, you’re not alone. A staggering amount of people say that they avoid having their photo taken or speaking publicly because of how much their teeth affects their confidence. It is often perceived that if your teeth need straightening it should be done in your teens, but due to advancing methods and techniques there are some great teeth straightening treatments available that are discreet and lifestyle friendly.
Invisalign is a teeth straightening treatment that uses clear, soft, pliable aligners and is designed for both teenagers and adults. We begin all Invisalign enquiries with a free consultation. We discuss possible treatment options and confirm whether our patient will benefit from Invisalign treatment. We also recommend a tooth whitening treatment to complete the smile makeover, and we always advise wearing a retainer to ensure the teeth do not creep back to their original position.
We will take a digital scan using our state-of-the-art scanner, this is a quick and pain free procedure and less messy than impressions. The scanner produces images of our patients’ teeth from various angles, and we use these images to form a treatment plan – in this case, treatment would take 12 months. We can even show a 3D simulation of how the teeth will look at the end of the treatment.
Invisalign aligners are custom made and as soon as they’re ready they are delivered to the practice. We will fit the first aligner face to face and advise on how to change and care for your aligners. Going forward the aligners will be changed at home on a weekly basis. We also use the Dental Monitoring app, this handy app removes the need for frequent visits to the practice. We will show you how to scan your teeth, upload images and send them into the practice so that our orthodontic team can ensure that the treatment is going to plan.
The cost of Invisalign is naturally more than fixed metal braces due to the technology and research that makes the treatment so advanced. Our patients see Invisalign as a worthy investment, one that will make them smile with confidence! We are committed to keeping our treatments affordable and to help you spread the cost of your new smile, we offer a range of deposit options and interest free (0% APR) finance repayment options.
