Invisalign^®

The length of your Invisalign^® treatment depends on your individual case. If your teeth need a lot of movement to achieve your ideal final outcome, more aligners will be needed and your treatment will therefore be longer. Most Invisalign^® treatments are completed in 9-18 months. We will give you an idea of your treatment length during your first appointment.

Invisalign^® aligners are designed with comfort in mind, making it very easy to wear them for 22 hours per day during your treatment. We use digital technology to ensure your bespoke aligners fit perfectly and feel comfortable. With no metal included whatsoever, there are no brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth.

For your Invisalign^® treatment to be successful, and keep your progress on track, you need to wear your aligners as much as possible – we recommend 22 hours per day. You can remove your aligners to eat, drink and to clean your teeth, but make sure you put them back in your mouth as soon as possible to avoid disrupting your treatment timeline and results.

You should remove your Invisalign^® aligners each time you eat or drink anything other than plain water. This has the benefit of allowing you to eat whatever you choose, including the hard and sticky foods that are not recommended if you have fixed braces fitted.

You may find that your Invisalign^® aligners slightly alter your speech at first, as you get used to the feel of them in your mouth. You may have a slight lisp at first, but this will fade and you will be talking normally again within a few days to weeks.

Wearing a retainer is a very important stage of your Invisalign treatment, and indeed of all orthodontic treatment. Over time, your teeth have a habit of moving out of place, so it’s necessary to have a retainer to prevent losing all the hard work during treatment. We advise that you wear your retainers for as long as you want your smile to stay straight, usually overnight for the long term. Your retainer can be either fixed or removable.

Invisalign^® aligners are incredibly discreet and are virtually invisible when worn, meaning other people will not be able to tell you are having orthodontic treatment. No one needs to know unless you choose to tell them, keeping you in control.

Invisalign^® is the straightening system of choice for so many people due to its convenience and easy to use nature. It is also highly effective and achieves incredible results. Today, many people are looking for a cosmetic approach to orthodontics, without the worry that they will feel self-conscious with fixed metal braces. Invisalign^® is the ideal treatment, offering a very successful way to boost your confidence and help you reach your dream smile.
