Invisalign for straightening teeth

If you are looking for an effective method of straightening your teeth that addresses the misalignment issues that are affecting the appearance of your smile, then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about Invisalign London. First introduced by Align Technology in California, USA, in 1999, Invisalign had come to the UK and was quickly established as groundbreaking technology in the field of cosmetic dentistry.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign is a cosmetic orthodontic treatment that works using a series of clear thermoplastic aligners designed to push your teeth into a neater formation. The transparent aligners will be individually manufactured to fit over your teeth and need to be worn for approximately 20 hours a day for 2 weeks at a time before moving on to the next aligner in the series. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth by approximately 0.25 to 0.3 mm, and the number of aligners that you will need depends on the extent of misalignment that you begin with. Some patients complete the treatment within as little as six months, whilst other patients may require up to 18 months to achieve a neatly aligned smile.

Advances in modern dental technology

Thanks to the advances in dental technology, Invisalign London is highly effective at straightening teeth, the aligners are comfortable to wear, and they are discreet and almost invisible when worn, so you can undergo dental treatment without drawing unwanted attention. Invisalign London works using computer-aided scanning, digital imaging and machine-manufacturing technology to ensure highly precise and accurate results. 3-dimensional scanning and digital imaging create a visual image of your mouth, which can be manipulated to help develop a treatment plan to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Here at Clear Braces Direct, we use a programme called ClinCheck to manipulate the digital model of your mouth. This helps translate the treatment plan into step-by-step tooth movements, allowing us to alter the appearance of your teeth until our dentists are happy with the predicted results, and this will then be shown to you for your approval. Once you have decided to proceed with the treatment, the aligners will be manufactured for you, and we can dispatch them to your address directly unless it is necessary for you to visit us for an initial fitting.

Over the last 20 years, Invisalign has been used to treat over 12 million smiles across the world.
