Invisalign

Initially, we will evaluate your teeth and jaws to make sure Invisalign is suitable for your needs. It is designed to correct most common orthodontic problems, but sometimes fixed braces will provide better results. If you are suitable, the next stage is to scan your teeth, taking digital images that are used to create your treatment plan using Invisalign’s software program. The software creates images showing how your teeth will gradually move throughout treatment until they are straight. You can view these images and can judge the efficacy of treatment before you even begin. Once you approve your treatment plan, we create your aligners and will show you how to insert them and how to clean them.

Initially, the aligners might seem a little strange, but once you become accustomed to wearing them, treatment should have minimal effect on everyday activities. There is no need to change your diet or avoid certain foods as you remove the aligners before meals. You don’t need to change your oral care routine as you can brush and floss normally. You will need to come and see us every six weeks or so, but these visits are merely to check your treatment is progressing as we have planned and to provide you with more sets of aligners if needed.
