Orthodontic treatment is used to correct crooked, misaligned or over-crowded teeth to
provide a beautifully straight smile. It can also help to correct problems with the bite.
We offer a full range of orthodontic treatment for both adults and children, including
virtually invisible lingual braces and Invisalign™ aligners that radically reduce treatment
time. Your Invisalign™ Treatment has the following stages:
•
STEP 1: The Consultation:
On your first visit to discuss Invisalign™ treatment, we will thoroughly examine your
existing smile before discussing what you would like to achieve with your new smile.
Our Invisalign clinician will give you all the information you need to decide whether
Invisalign is the right course of action for you. If you choose to go ahead, we will
send the scans or impressions and photographs of your teeth to Invisalign’s US
laboratories, along with a set of instructions for production tailored uniquely to your
mouth.
•
STEP 2: Aligner Production
Invisalign’s US laboratory team transforms the impressions and photographs into 3D
images used to make your unique aligners. The number of aligners needed varies
with each patient and can be anything from 12-50, depending on the complexity of
treatment.
•
STEP 3: Your New Aligners Arrive
Once you receive your first aligners, you’ll need to wear them for around two weeks
before changing to your next set. We’ll provide one or two replacement sets so you
can carry on with treatment before your first follow-up appointment with us.
•
STEP 4: Your Treatment
Your aligners should be worn for around 20 hours every day and removed only when
eating, Drinking or brushing teeth. You’ll re-visit the clinic around every six weeks to
check on progress and receive your latest replacement aligner. Each new aligner
brings your teeth alittle closer to their perfect position.
•
STEP 5: Smile - You’re All Done!
Treatment time varies from patient to patient and usually lasts 6-12 months. After
wearing each set of aligners in the treatment plan, your treatment is complete.
Congratulations – you can now smile in confidence knowing your teeth are beautifully
aligned.
“Few people can claim that their visits to the dentist
are enjoyable, but mine to you were. Thank you for
looking after my teeth so well…” – Patient.”
