Invisalign are custom-made, clear aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth, gently moving and even rotating them into place. It is this see-through design that makes them a great choice for many patients who are keen to keep their straightening treatment private, or require a discreet solution in the workplace.
As Invisalign aligners are removable it is also easy for patients to keep the teeth and appliance clean, and to enjoy their favourite food and drink.
Your dentist will take the time to discuss your requirements and teeth straightening options, answering any questions you may have along the way. If you and your dentist decide that an Invisalign aligner is the most suitable solution for you, a dental impression will be taken, along with other records such as photos, which will be used to create your Invisalign 3D treatment plan.
Your discreet aligners will be custom-made and, when you return to the practice, your dentist will explain how they should be used. It is recommended that you wear Invisalign aligners for around 22 hours each day. You will receive new aligners every couple of weeks as part of your treatment plan, at which point you might feel a slight tenderness and discomfort, but this will quickly settle down.
The time it takes to complete the process will vary, but we would expect patients to have completed their treatment and have new-found confidence in their smile in around 12 months.
