Invisalign

Invisalign has revolutionised the way we align teeth.

Everybody wants not just healthy teeth, but beautiful teeth, giving you the confidence to reveal your best smile.

Now, you can straighten your teeth in secret, with this minimally invasive and (as you can probably guess from the title!) practically invisible design.

Invisalign is made from a clear, discreet thermoplastic material, and can be tailor made to suit each individual’s unique treatment plan.

This alternative to conventional braces can be removed during drinking (except water), eating and cleaning your teeth, and has been designed with comfort in mind.

The aligners are typically altered every 1-2 weeks, and work to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. You can expect to see the amazing results within 6-18 months.

We at Art of Dental Care use a sophisticated computer system called a Trios scanner, which uses optical technology (no X-rays involved!) to take a 3D scan of your teeth. This helps when designing a series of clear aligners, which help to mould unruly teeth into a natural shape– giving you the confidence to give the world your best smile.

Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment that has transformed the way we align teeth, in a way that not only makes you feel better, but helps your smile look better. But what are the features of Invisalign, and is it suitable for you?

Frequently Asked Questions

At Art of Dental Care, we have dispensed with traditional X-rays and now use a sophisticated scanner to take 3D scans of your teeth with optical technology. This helps to mould uneven teeth into a more natural shape. Teeth straightening is then achieved with the use of custom-made clear aligners that gradually reposition them as required over time.

Treatment time will vary depending on the complexity of each individual case. As aligners are usually altered every week or two as your teeth are steered into position, the impressive results will ordinarily show within six to 18 months.

The full cost of Invisalign treatment will invariably depend on the nature, complexity and extent of the work you need, and moreover the type of Invisalign aligner your dentist opts to apply. In the UK, treatment usually averages between £2,000 and £6,000 but this can vary significantly.

While Invisalign treatment is not typically painful, Invisalign treatment can occasionally cause patients some discomfort, particularly in the early stages when there can be pressure or soreness adapting to a new aligner.

While Invisalign treatment can cause some discomfort, it is not typically described as painful. Patients may experience pressure or soreness when they first start wearing a new aligner.

To follow the treatment course correctly and to guarantee maximum effectiveness, it is strongly recommended you wear Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours a day.

Designed to ensure maximum comfort, Invisalign is an innovative approach to teeth alignment that offers an invisible alternative to conventional braces. It is visually discreet and minimally invasive, and can be adjusted to suit each individual’s unique treatment plan. Made from a clear thermoplastic material, you are able to remove and reinstall it as and when necessary, particularly around mealtimes and during brushing.

Yes, a retainer is typically required after Invisalign treatment to help maintain the new position of the teeth.

ClinCheck is a 3-dimensional virtual representation of a dentist's prescribed treatment plan. This is the stage of treatment from which aligners are manufactured. ClinCheck provides viewing and navigation tools to enable better treatment planning and better clinical decisions.

Yes, wearing retainers after completing Invisalign treatment is an important part of the overall treatment process. Retainers help maintain the results achieved during the active phase of orthodontic treatment and prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original positions. It's important to follow your orthodontist's instructions regarding retainer usage. Initially, you may be advised to wear your retainers full-time, and as time progresses and your teeth stabilise, the duration of wear may be reduced. However, some degree of retainer wear is typically recommended in the long term to ensure the stability of the achieved results.

After Invisalign treatment, your orthodontist will provide you with a set of retainers customised to fit your teeth. There are typically two types of retainers: removable retainers and fixed retainers. 

Remember that teeth have a natural tendency to shift over time, and without proper retention, there is a risk of relapse, where the teeth may gradually move back towards their original positions. Consistent retainer wear helps maintain the alignment achieved through Invisalign treatment and preserves your new smile. It's essential to maintain regular dental check-ups and follow-up visits with your orthodontist to monitor the stability of your results and receive any necessary adjustments or recommendations regarding your retainers.
