The advantages compared to fixed braces are that the aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning your teeth and that they are smooth so there is minimal irritation of the lips and cheeks.
The aligners come in a series that are changed every 1-2 weeks to gently move the teeth into position. We will see you for an appointment every 4-6 weeks to monitor your treatment. Aligners need to be worn for 21-22 hours per day to be effective.
At the Willows we use digital scanners to avoid needing messy and uncomfortable impressions and ensuring very accurate fitting aligners.
Before you commit yourself to Invisalign treatment we will show you a 3D simulation of your treatment, which will help to accurately predict the treatment time, as well as showing the final appearance of your new smile.
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of the case but can be as little as 3 months and is typically 6-9 months.
Our clinicians are skilled in supplementary treatments such as tooth whitening and composite bonding if it is required to enhance the end result.
