Straighten Your Smile With Invisalign
Enjoy the confidence of straighter teeth in months with almost invisible braces.
Invisalign works through small, gradual movements of the teeth. This is achieved through many different aligners, each to be worn for one week until the last set. Each set of aligners you wear gradually moves your teeth towards their desired position. Treatments can last between 7 weeks and 24 months, but it entirely depends on your own individual treatment.
Dr Elliot is one of the leading Invisalign & cosmetic dentists in the UK, with over 38 years experience. He is in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in the world, and has completed over 1,000 successful Invisalign cases. He is also an Invisalign lecturer, having trained a wide group of dentists on Invisalign over the years.
Everything about the Invisalign system has been designed with your comfort in mind, using accurate digital scans to guarantee a secure fit with no metal included.
Your removable aligners allow you to eat and drink whatever you choose during your treatment, and clean your teeth as normal to promote excellent oral hygiene.
At your initial appointment, we will examine your teeth and take 3D scans and images to ensure your aligners have a precise and accurate fit. We’ll give you an estimate of how long your treatment will take and the costs involved.
The scans and images taken of your teeth are used to create your bespoke treatment plan. Using innovative ClinCheck software, we can even show you step by step how your teeth will move position as you wear your aligners and a preview of your new smile.
You will need to wear each aligner in the series for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next one. As you wear each aligner, your teeth move little by little until your new dream smile is created. The aligners control the amount and timing of movement based on your bespoke treatment plan, ensuring that each stage of treatment goes smoothly. We keep a close eye on your progress at your regular appointments, making small adjustments if necessary to ensure an incredible outcome.
Once you have worn your last aligner, treatment is complete and you can get ready to show off your new straight smile! We will give you a final retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions for the long term.
Invisalign is able to correct a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including misalignment, crowding, gaps and incorrect bites. Bringing your teeth into straighter positions can also have a positive effect on your overall appearance, supporting and enhancing your facial shape and structure.
Straighter teeth and your dream dazzling smile gives a huge boost to your self-esteem. Many patients find the confidence their new smile brings starts during the Invisalign treatment process, due to their virtually invisible clear aligners.
You need to wear your aligners for around 22 hours a day in order for your treatment to be most effective. You can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing your teeth and playing contact sports.
