Invisalign

At Smiles and More Dentistry, we’re proud to offer Invisalign®, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment designed to discreetly and effectively straighten your teeth.

Whether you’re considering improving your smile or you’ve been thinking about addressing dental alignment issues for years, Invisalign is an excellent option for patients of all ages.

Here’s everything you need to know about Invisalign, including how it works, its benefits, and why Smiles and More Dentistry is the perfect choice for your treatment.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to shift your teeth into their ideal positions gradually.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a discreet option for those who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their treatment.

Each aligner is designed specifically for your teeth, based on a digital scan of your mouth and our impressions.

These aligners are worn over your teeth and are removable, allowing you to maintain your usual lifestyle with minimal disruptions.

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • Crowded teeth

How Does Invisalign Work?

The Invisalign process is straightforward and begins with an initial consultation at Smiles and More Dentistry. Here’s how it works:

  1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our experienced team will assess your teeth and discuss your goals. If Invisalign is suitable for you, we’ll take impressions or digital scans of your teeth.
  2. Custom Treatment Plan: Using the digital scans, we create a personalised treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. You’ll even be able to see a virtual preview of your future smile!
  3. Aligner Fabrication: Your custom aligners are made in a specialised Invisalign lab. Each aligner is crafted to fit your teeth perfectly and gently guide them into place.
  4. Wearing the Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next set. Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
  5. Progress Check-ups: You’ll visit us every 6-8 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. We’ll provide new sets of aligners and make any necessary adjustments to your plan.
  6. Completion and Retention: Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive retainers to help maintain your beautiful new smile.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces and other orthodontic treatments, making it a popular choice among patients. Here are some of the key benefits:

Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
Comfortable Fit: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic, eliminating the discomfort and irritation caused by metal brackets and wires.
Removable Convenience: Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners can be easily removed, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions and maintain excellent oral hygiene.
Customised Treatment: Each aligner is specifically designed for your unique smile, ensuring precise and efficient results.
Predictable Results: With the advanced technology used to create your treatment plan, you’ll know exactly what to expect and can track your progress along the way.
Suitable for Busy Lifestyles: Fewer visits to the dentist are required compared to traditional braces, making Invisalign a convenient option for those with packed schedules.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The length of your treatment will depend on your individual case, but most patients complete their Invisalign journey within 6-18 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a more accurate timeline based on your needs.

Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?

Yes! Invisalign is an excellent choice for teenagers, especially those who are self-conscious about wearing traditional braces. Invisalign Teen aligners even come with compliance indicators to help ensure proper usage.

Does Invisalign hurt?

While you may experience some mild discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, this is temporary and a sign that your teeth are moving as planned. Most patients find Invisalign much more comfortable than traditional braces.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of your case. At Smiles and More Dentistry, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.
