INVISALIGN ®

An invisible option to get you to your perfect smile. Simplify the treatment process by choosing the discreet removable Invisalign® clear aligner system. Aligners are clear plastic "trays" that fit snugly over your teeth, and gently move your teeth into place. Invisalign® allows you to enjoy the benefits of a removable brace whilst straightening your teeth, and it is a nearly invisible orthodontic solution.

FAQs

  • What are the benefits of treatment?
    Better appearance of teeth, smile and face. Improved self esteem and self confidence. Cleaner, healthier teeth. An even bite for improved jaw alignment and function.
  • What is orthodontics?
    Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that focuses on the correction of tooth and jaw positions with the use of appliances.
  • What’s the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?
    A Specialist Orthodontist will begin their career as a dentist and continue further study to specialise as an orthodontist. Many dentists take an interest in orthodontics but Specialist Orthodontists dedicate their career to the practice and have much greater experience straightening teeth and aligning jaws.
  • Why see a Specialist orthodontist for your treatment?
    While your dentist may offer Teeth Straightening or Invisalign services, or you may be able to purchase Home Kits, we firmly believe for the best results and patient care you should see a specialist. Dr Lucy dedicates her career to delivering the best possible results for her patients and can provide a personalised service from start to finish.
  • How long will my treatment take?
    Each patient’s treatment time will vary depending on the severity of their misalignment and the treatment option chosen. Most treatment times are between 9-24 months.
  • Can anyone wear braces?
    Yes! Braces can treat a variety of orthodontic issues regardless of the complexity, and can be used in patients of all ages.
  • How often will I need appointments during my treatment?
    Once your braces have been fitted you will need to visit once every 6-8 weeks. Those with Invisalign® clear aligners can have appointments less frequently.
  • Will I need to wear a retainer when my treatment is finished?
    Once your treatment is complete you will be required to wear a retainer in order to hold your teeth in place as your muscles adjust to the new position of your teeth. The length of time that you need to wear your retainer varies. This will be discussed with you during your first consultation.
  • Can I book an appointment just for Teeth Whitening?
    Yes. Many patients often chose Teeth Whitening at the end of their Orthodontics treatment, however we can also offer the Whitening service as a stand-alone treatment.
