Invisalign Woking, Surrey
Achieve your dream smile and feel more confident with clear and removable aligners from Invisalign.
Introduction to Invisalign
Your first thought when asked to imagine orthodontic treatment is likely to be fixed metal braces, with brackets and wires connecting your teeth. If this vision has always put you off braces, you may be interested in learning of another method to achieve perfectly straight teeth at any age. Invisalign is fast becoming the most popular orthodontic treatment in our practice.
Instead of using fixed brackets and wires, this system uses clear and removable plastic aligners, similar to the retainer you might wear at the end of treatment. These aligners apply gentle and strategic pressure to your teeth, moving them into the optimum position over a period of around 6-24 months. Your treatment time will vary depending on the severity of your alignment problems, but we find that the discreet aligners mean that patients don’t mind wearing these for longer. There is also minimal disruption to your life for the extent of the treatment plan, as you can remove your aligners to eat, drink and brush your teeth.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers many benefits over more traditional treatment plans, but it’s essential to understand what this system entails before you start treatment. Every Invisalign treatment starts with a digital scan that allows us to track the current and optimum position of your teeth. This allows us to render an image of how you smile could look following treatment. This information is then used alongside physical moulds to create your treatment aligners.
You’ll receive all of your aligners at once, so you don’t have to return to the practice for adjustments, only for periodic checkups. You start wearing the first aligner in your case, and then switch after 10-14 days as directed by your dentist. As you work your way through the aligners, your teeth will get closer and closer to perfect alignment. Caring for your aligners couldn’t be easier, you simply remove them to eat, drink and brush your teeth. You can soak them in a cleaning solution to help keep them hygienically clean. Checkups are less frequent, which makes it an ideal option for those with a busy schedule.
Clear Aligners Vs Fixed Braces
Invisalign might be highly effective, but it isn’t always right for everyone. There are some scenarios where traditional fixed braces can be more effective. The good news is that we can make these more discreet by using tooth-coloured brackets and clear wires, so your treatment will be less visible. With fixed braces, you don’t have to worry about following the treatment plan and remembering to wear your aligners. There’s also no risk of losing an aligner, which could derail the plan. If you are forgetful or worried about your ability to stick to the plan, then fixed braces could be better than clear aligners. If you’re not sure which system is right for you, book a consultation with our orthodontics team today. We can help to guide you in the right direction for your needs.
