Invisalign in Newcastle, orthodontics in the 21st century

As the years roll by, it’s hard to think that it has been almost two and a half decades since the new era of dental misalignment correction started. The days of the traditional, cumbersome and uncomfortable metal braces were over, and now, a variety of more modern, effective and efficient braces are available for dentists to use. A very different procedure is the way that Invisalign in Newcastle corrects dental misalignments. It’s more than a procedure, it’s an incorporation of a variety of disciplines such as science, technology and even some art. Dentistry in the 21st century has introduced us to an era when almost anything is possible.

Always learning

At Clear Braces Direct, we are proud of our team members who represent some of the finest clinicians in their fields. Dentistry is evolving at such a pace that we need to attend regular seminars and training in the latest equipment and techniques. Technology has become an essential part of dental procedure delivery, and Invisalign in Newcastle is part of that journey.

Misaligned teeth can cause several problems, including gum disease and tooth decay. If you suffer from one of the many dental misalignment conditions, your teeth will usually not meet. This inhibits your ability to chew your food sufficiently to break it down so that your gastric juices can digest your food. Other conditions associated with teeth or jaws that are out of alignment are an annoying clicking sound when chewing. In addition, because your teeth do not line up, they can become chipped or cracked.

Dynamic approach

Technology has allowed us to produce a more comprehensive view of our patients’ mouths using an iTero scanner. Invisalign in Newcastle technicians can use the results to create a 3D image using ClinCheck software. Everything is done digitally, which allows us to work quicker and more accurately than without this hardware and software.

Helping you decide

Before you decide to start the treatment, we will show you a virtual image of how your smile will look before treatment starts. If you have any questions, we want you to ask all of them so that you can understand the procedure and make sure that the results will match your expectations.

Invisalign, your path to a great smile

Our experienced team has helped nearly 7,000 patients to achieve broad, confident smiles. Unlike conventional braces, which use blocks, wires and bands, Invisalign aligners resemble gum shields and are called trays, which fit over your teeth. Depending on your condition, a series of trays will be created, each shaped slightly differently so that they gradually move your teeth into the desired positions. The shape of each tray is meticulously computer-designed to ensure that your teeth move to the precise locations and are ready for the next tray. The duration of your treatment and the number of trays required will depend on the condition being treated.

Wear the trays as instructed

We will give you detailed instructions on how to use your trays during treatment. To be effective, each tray must be worn for at least 22 hours a day and about three weeks at a time. Once your treatment is complete, you will need to wear a retainer for a few weeks to keep your teeth in their new positions. Once you are given the all-clear, you will be able to smile broadly and confidently without feeling self-conscious.
