Invisalign® is an advanced clear aligner system to straighten your teeth.

Invisalign is a type of clear aligners that has gained popularity during the pandemic. Basically unlike other braces and aligners, Invisalign is easy to remove and clean and doesn’t require you to visit the dentist for any broken wires unlike regular braces which is why they’ve become popular during the pandemic lockdown. Commonly, Invisalign is popular with young adults and teens who want to fix their smile without feeling awkward with how they look since they are NEARLY INVISIBLE.

The treatment

Some of the key features of Invisalign include:

  • They’re made from see-through plastic and are almost invisible.
  • They need to be worn for 22 hours each day.
  • They’re an alternative to fixed metal braces. Invisalign aligners are metal and wire-free.
  • The aligners are changed over by you at home every 1-2 weeks.

Step 1) Consultation – Your Invisalign consultation will help us gain a picture of your dental health, and allow us to tell you how long your treatment will take. Using state-of-the-art digital imaging tools, we can project how your teeth will look like at the end of treatment, and the individual movements your teeth will go through.

Step 2) Creating your aligners – The diagnostic information we collated during your consultation is sent to the Invisalign lab, where your bespoke aligners are made.

Step 3) Aligner – Wearing once we receive them, we can give you your aligners and the teeth straightening part of treatment can commence. You may need some composite buttons adding to your teeth or some reshaping to help your teeth to move. We will check-up on your progress every few weeks to make sure everything is going to plan with your treatment.

Step 4) Retainer – Once your teeth are beautifully straight, you will need to wear a retainer to make sure they remain this way. This is usually worn at night.

What can Invisalign® fix?

Crowded Teeth Treatment

Crowded teeth

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.

Gaps Between Teeth Treatment

Gaps between teeth

Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.

Open Bite Treatment

Open bite

An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.

Underbite Treatment

Underbite

An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.

Overbite Treatment

Overbite

An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.

Crossbite Treatment

Crossbite

A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.

Invisalign is geared towards moderate cases of misalignment, crowding and gapped teeth, so we may recommend fixed braces if you have a severe version of such issues. Underbites and overbites are also generally treated with fixed braces.

However, if you’re looking for a fantastic level of flexibility whilst you have your teeth straightened, and you don’t want your appliance to be visible, we highly recommend Invisalign.

It depends. Talk with your Invisalign Doctor about the dental work you’ve had done, including veneers and crowns, and he or she will evaluate your individual needs.

Yes, you can remove your Invisalign aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, like a wedding, job interview, or for playing your favourite sport or instrument. Just remember to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day to get the best results.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?

None! Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all (hello popcorn!). With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy, as they can damage or get stuck in your braces.

Invisalign treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, but some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. Typically, people describe it as feeling “pressure” and it’s normal — it’s a sign your Invisalign clear aligners are working and transforming your smile.

Please see your Invisalign Doctor if you have any concerns or experience continued discomfort.

Sometimes when I remove my aligners, my teeth feel loose. Is that common?

Yes. As your Invisalign aligners gradually shift your teeth into their proper position, your gums are re-forming around each tooth as it moves. Be sure to talk to your Invisalign Doctor about any concerns.

You need to wear your Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day to get the results you want.

It may take a couple of days for your tongue to get used to having your Invisalign aligners in your mouth, and you may have a slight lisp. But this should disappear quickly.

Will smoking stain my aligners?

We discourage smoking while wearing Invisalign aligners because it can stain them.

Can I chew gum while wearing aligners?

No, gum will stick to your Invisalign aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including gum.

Can the aligners slip off while I’m asleep?

It is very unlikely that your aligners would ever fall out, no matter what you are doing: sleeping, talking, laughing, etc. Invisalign clear aligners are designed to fit snugly around your teeth, so this should not be a cause for concern.

I went on a trip and forgot to take my aligners with me. Will my aligners still fit?

The answer depends on how long you’ve gone without wearing your Invisalign aligners. If it’s only been a short time, your aligners should still fit, but they might feel uncomfortable. If it’s been a longer time, talk to your Invisalign Doctor about your unique situation.

9. How do I take care of my aligners?

What’s the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water and using the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or special cleaning tablets. It’s important that you brush your teeth after each meal before re-inserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.

If I have food residue (like blueberries or pasta sauce) in my mouth when I put my aligners back in, can they become stained?

Yes. That’s why it’s important to brush after every meal, before placing your Invisalign aligners back in your mouth.

What if I lose or break an aligner. What should I do?

If you lose or break an Invisalign aligner, immediately let your Invisalign Doctor know. Your Invisalign Doctor will work with you to ensure you stay on-track with your treatment plan, which may involve wearing a previous set of aligners, your next set of aligners, or ordering replacements aligners.

Can I order replacement aligners from the Invisalign brand directly?

All aligners and retainers must be ordered through your Invisalign Doctor, as they are considered a prescription item. Please contact your Invisalign Doctor directly if you need to order a replacement.
