Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you.
These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist plans out for you.
First, your dentist will take a digital scan of your teeth with the iTero scanner, which will serve to mould your first set of aligners. Your dentist will then work to fine-tune every shift in every tooth using Invisalign software, providing a type of road map for your new smile.
Your dentist can even show you your new smile before you even get started with our recently acquired iTero Scanner.
Invisalign aligners are also removable, so you can continue brushing and flossing normally. This can lead to better overall dental health in the future.
If your teeth are generally straight, but you would like them to be better aligned, Invisalign can help.
Longwood House is an Invisalign Platinum Elite Provider in Ilford. This award certifies and recognises the quality of our work in invisible orthodontic treatments with more than 100 patients treated per year.
The great benefit of Invisalign is that it provides an aesthetic, more flexible way to give teens, tweens, and adults the confidence of a great smile. Invisalign is proven effective in shaping simple to complex smiles.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible, which means you can carry on enjoying life without the restrictions, irritation, and self-consciousness associated with metal brackets and wires.
These invisible braces have become very popular because they are so discreet. Keep in mind, however, that all clear aligners are not alike. Only Invisalign clear aligners are made of SmartTrack material, so they are more comfortable and easier to put on and take off. The SmartTrack material improves control and precision in tooth movements, for the smile you expect — with treatment times up to 50% faster.
Some teenagers will be suitable for the same Invisalign treatment as adult patients.
Younger teenagers, or those who haven’t got all of their adult teeth erupted can be treated with Invisalign Teen, a treatment designed specifically for teenagers. Your Invisalign dentist will determine which treatment best suits your individual needs and the condition of your teeth.
Also, your dentist can discuss the Invisalign cost with you. We have payment plans that keep the treatment affordable, which everyone appreciates. Invisalign may be more affordable than you think.
