Invisalign
Invisalign is the most invisible option for straightening teeth, which involves wearing clear aligner trays for between eight and twelve months. Because these trays can be removed for eating, drinking and exercise, they provide a comfortable, convenient and hygienic alternative to traditional braces. At the end of the treatment, the trays can even be used to whiten your teeth in order to perfect your new smile. The cost of this treatment starts at £2500 for one jaw, with a complimentary initial consultation appointment included.
-
Invisalign treatment is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. The aligners are custom-made for each patient and gradually shift the teeth into their desired position over time.
-
The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the severity of the patient's orthodontic issues. Typically, treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months.
-
To achieve the best results, patients should wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss.
-
Invisalign treatment is typically less painful than traditional metal braces, as there are no brackets or wires to irritate the mouth. However, patients may experience some discomfort or soreness when first wearing a new set of aligners.
-
It is recommended that patients remove their aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps to prevent staining and damage to the aligners.
-
To keep the aligners clean and free of bacteria, patients should brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse them with lukewarm water. Additionally, patients should avoid using hot water or harsh cleaning products, as these can damage the aligners.
