Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. They’re unobtrusive and made from lightweight, clear plastic. Even from close quarters, you’d have to tell someone you were wearing aligners before they notice them.

You don’t need to be an adult to have aligners fitted, but you do need to have all your adult teeth.

Yes. One of the chief advantages of Invisalign aligners is that you can remove them to eat or drink. Unlike standard braces, they won’t impinge upon your social or business life.

The main advantage over traditional braces is the fact that Invisalign aligners won’t mar the appearance of your smile while they do their work. There are no unsightly metal bands holding them in place.

Unlike standard permanent braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed when called for, i.e. when receiving standard dental treatment.

The ease of removal means it is easy to maintain dental hygiene standards whilst wearing the aligners.

Like any braces, Invisalign aligners exert a slight pressure when they’re first fitted. Unlike conventional braces, they don’t irritate or cause any pain beyond this.

The virtually invisible aligners are made of strong medical grade thermoplastic material. The aligners are custom-made for you and fit snugly over your teeth.

Invisalign aligners may have a slight effect upon your speech when they’re first fitted, causing a slight lisp. Unlike standard braces, however, they can be removed temporarily if you need to make an important speech.

Invisalign aligners are completely removable so you can brush your teeth as normal.

The vast majority of patients report no effect on speech. However, as with traditional orthodontic appliances, there is an initial adjustment period associated with having something new in the mouth.

We supply every Invisalign patient with a retainer to wear every night once they complete treatment. This will help to keep your smile beautiful.

Not at all! Invisalign is usually suitable for everyone.

A number of Invisalign patients have undergone a treatment involving braces at some point in their past, often during their youth. Invisalign can usually correct the shifting that occurs after braces – often referred to as a relapse.
