Invisalign treatment in Flint

Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment not only reshaping our teeth, but giving people across the world new confidence and winning smiles.

How does it work and, more importantly, is it suitable for you?

Conceived as a solution to discreetly straighten teeth, Invisalign is a minimally invasive design which, as the name suggests, is barely visible. This innovative approach to teeth alignment aims to guarantee maximum comfort as an appealing alternative to traditional braces. It is manufactured using a transparent thermoplastic material and is simple to fit and remove, adapting to each wearer’s eating and brushing needs.

The product is typically adjusted every week or two during a teeth repositioning process, which normally achieves the desired results within six to 18 months. Our Trios scanner system uses optical technology to generate a 3D scan of your teeth, without any need for an X-ray.

The dental surgery required is not normally painful – although there may be some discomfort for more sensitive gums, especially early on, when a new aligner can cause soreness.

Thereafter, patients are advised to strictly adhere to the course to ensure maximum results. As such, dentists recommend leaving the aligner in place for at least 22 hours a day. Aligners are custom-made trays worn to gradually shift teeth into a designated position over time, and are used during the initial stages of orthodontic treatment.

To meet this goal, orthodontists will then provide customised Invisalign retainers, which are fixed or detachable. These are needed to help preserve the affected teeth in the correct position and prevent them reverting back to their former states. This stage of the process is particularly important, because teeth are naturally prone to shift and risk relapse if allowed to. Regular follow-up check-ups are advised to help dental professionals monitor your progress and make any adjustments where necessary.

How much does Invisalign cost?

Ultimately, the final bill will depend on the nature of the treatment needed and the type of Invisalign aligner used. UK-based work often averages between £2,000 and £6,000, but this may vary.
