What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a modern approach to straightening teeth using a custom-made series of aligners. These aligner trays are crafted specifically for you from smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic. When worn over your teeth, the aligners gently and gradually shift your teeth into place according to a detailed treatment plan developed by your Invisalign® dentist or orthodontist.

To begin, your dentist will take a digital scan of your teeth using the iTero scanner, which creates a precise 3D image. This image is then used to design your first set of aligners, and your dentist will fine-tune every movement for your teeth using advanced Invisalign® software, mapping out your journey to a new smile. In fact, with the iTero scanner, your dentist can even show you what your new smile will look like before treatment starts.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Invisalign® offers a discreet, comfortable, and efficient way to straighten your teeth. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Invisalign® aligners are nearly invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional metal braces.
  • Comfort: Made of smooth plastic, Invisalign® aligners are comfortable to wear, with no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation.
  • Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable, allowing you to continue brushing and flossing as usual, leading to better oral hygiene during your treatment.
  • Faster Results: Invisalign® treatment can deliver results up to 50% faster than traditional braces thanks to SmartTrack material, which ensures better control and precision in tooth movements.
  • Minimal Lifestyle Disruption: Invisalign® aligners don’t interfere with your daily activities, so you can eat and drink whatever you like, and participate in sports or play musical instruments without worry.

    • How Invisalign® Works: Step by Step

    01.

    Consultation and Assessment

    Your Invisalign® journey begins with a consultation at Longwood House Dental Clinic. During this visit, our dentist will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign® is the right treatment for you. We’ll take digital scans of your teeth using the advanced iTero scanner, which helps create a precise 3D image of your mouth.

    02.

    Creating a Customised Treatment Plan

    Based on your scans, our dentist will use Invisalign®’s advanced software to map out your personalised treatment plan. This software will show a step-by-step roadmap of how your teeth will gradually shift into place. You’ll even be able to see a preview of your future smile before the treatment begins!

    03.

    Receiving Your Custom Aligners

    After your treatment plan is finalised, we will create a series of custom-made, clear Invisalign® aligners. These aligners are specifically designed to fit snugly over your teeth and gently shift them into position. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.

    04.

    Wearing Your Aligners

    You’ll wear each aligner for 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Because the aligners are clear and removable, you can continue with your daily routine without any disruption. The aligners will gradually shift your teeth over time, in a process that’s comfortable and virtually invisible.

    05.

    Check ups and Adjustments

    Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular check-ups at our clinic to ensure everything is progressing smoothly. These appointments allow us to monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and provide you with your next set of aligners.

    06.

    Achieving Your New Smile

    After completing your series of aligners, you’ll have your beautiful, straight smile! To maintain your results, your dentist may recommend a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
