Why should you choose Invisalign braces over regular traditional wired braces? Invisalign clear braces are removable and widely used to treat alignment and bite issues, including crossbites, underbites, crowding, etc.
Invisalign also offers our patients discretion. Because they are near invisible, you can complete your teeth straightening treatment without worrying about your appearance.
Your guide to Invisalign
- Accredited Invisalign practice
- Offering competitive prices
- Fast and effective results
“More than 2.5 million people around the world have had the treatment already.”
One of our most experienced dentists, Dr Michael Marshall, has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and is accredited in using Invisalign and aesthetic dentistry.
If you’re considering braces to straighten your teeth, Invisalign is fast becoming the recommended popular treatment for its discreet properties.
Not everyone can get Invisalign braces.
Patients exhibiting gum disease or seriously misaligned upper and lower jaws are not viable candidates.
Children and young teenagers cannot receive the treatment, and patients are unable to commit to wearing the aligners consistently.
Ensuring you can receive the treatment can only be done once you’ve had a consultation with the dentist.
1. Questionnaire
Click on the smile questionnaire – take some pictures of your teeth, and then we will get back to you with a quotation. If you wish to proceed.
2. Book a consultation
Dr Marshall will invite you for an oral examination at our East Molesey practice to assess the mouth’s state. Here, the orthodontist will determine if the Invisalign treatment is suitable.
If so, together, you will begin to design a unique treatment plan custom-made to suit you.
3. Start your treatment
The next phase will see the patient receiving a set of custom-made aligners that will be required to be worn every day.
On average, you will swap out the aligners for the next series every two weeks.
The Invisalign dentist will schedule follow-up appointments every six weeks to evaluate the success of the treatment.
4. Your smile is transformed
Most adults can see the treatment results within 12 months, but this can vary from case to case.
Once the process is complete, you’ll have a straight smile and renewed confidence.
You will then continue to wear retainers at night for up to six months after treatment.
In comparison, traditional braces can often be uncomfortable and straighten the teeth faster than Invisalign braces.
Many of our Invisalign patients have claimed that wearing clear braces feels like wearing no braces.
The revolutionary process has allowed our patients to receive tooth straightening treatment without feeling self-conscious about their smile.
As Invisalign uses transparent, thin aligners, it has allowed many adult patients to discreetly carry out their treatment and avoid the stigma attached to metal braces.
Additionally, Invisalign braces are removable and can be taken out to eat and brush teeth – ensuring a strong standard of oral health hygiene and health.
Aligners are widely used to treat a range of bite problems and tooth alignment conditions, both mild and moderate, including:
- Overcrowding
- Crooked teeth
- Crossbite
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
