What are the benefits of Invisalign?
-
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, virtually invisible material. This means that while undergoing treatment, your smile remains natural-looking, without the use of metal brackets or wires associated with traditional braces. Many people appreciate the aesthetic advantage of Invisalign, as it allows them to straighten their teeth discreetly.
-
One significant advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. Unlike traditional braces that are fixed to the teeth, Invisalign aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment process. You can also remove the aligners for special occasions or important events, although it's generally recommended to wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day for optimal results.
-
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely. They are made from smooth plastic, which typically causes less discomfort and irritation compared to metal braces. With no wires or brackets to tighten, Invisalign aligners generally require fewer orthodontic adjustments, resulting in a more comfortable experience for many patients.
-
Invisalign utilizes advanced 3D imaging technology to create a customized treatment plan for each patient. This technology allows you to visualize the predicted movement of your teeth throughout the treatment process, giving you an idea of the final result. Invisalign aligners are typically replaced every one to two weeks to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. This systematic approach often leads to shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces, although the duration varies depending on individual cases.
-
With traditional braces, certain foods, such as sticky or hard items, need to be avoided to prevent damage to the brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Simply remove the aligners before eating, brush your teeth afterward, and put them back in.
-
Invisalign aligners can be removed during sports activities or when playing musical instruments that require the mouth. This allows for greater convenience and flexibility for individuals involved in such activities.
It's important to note that Invisalign may not be suitable for everyone, as the treatment's effectiveness depends on the complexity of the orthodontic issues being addressed. Consulting with our orthodontist is the best way to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
What is Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign were the first clear aligners ever created that revolutionised the world of teeth straightening. Using cutting-edge SmartTrack technology, Invisalign braces are clinically proven to optimise the movement of your teeth faster than any other kind of clear aligner.
Made from smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that fits around your teeth, Invisalign braces are designed to both look and feel as though you are not wearing them. They have no bonded metal brackets or unsightly wires that need adjusting - only a perfectly clear plastic casing.
So, even though your invisible brace will be working hard to straighten your teeth quickly and effectively, no one will be able to tell you’re wearing them. Invisalign braces are also easily removable - you can take them out to eat food or play sports without worry.
How Invisalign clear aligners work?
As the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, Invisalign uses gentle forces to gradually move your teeth to where they need to be in a way that is both fast and safe.
The treatment works by using a series of custom-made aligners created for your teeth. The number of aligners you will need throughout your treatment will depend on how complex your case is. In most cases, you’ll usually have one aligner for every two weeks of treatment.
Of course, if all of your teeth are severely crooked, this will take longer to correct than a slightly misaligned front tooth. Following your consultation, your orthodontist will be able to show you your virtual treatment plan as created by Invisalign’s ClinCheck software.
This technology shows the current positioning of your teeth and it can provide images of how your teeth will respond to Invisalign braces. You’ll be able to see how your teeth will look at the end of your treatment, as well as the progress you’ll make at each stage and with each new aligner; so you can see how your invisible braces are working.

At your Invisalign consultation in Mill Hill East
When you come in for your Invisalign consultation at our North London practice, you’ll be met by Dr Avani Patel, our specialist orthodontist. This will be a very relaxed appointment where we will try to get a better idea of what you hope to achieve from your teeth straightening treatment and whether Invisalign braces will be suitable for you.
If the orthodontist believes one of our other teeth straightening products may be able to better help you achieve the final results you’re looking for, they’ll be able to advise you at this stage.
You’ll also have the opportunity during this appointment to ask a specialist any questions or concerns you may have about Invisalign. We’ll be able to tell you everything you want to know. If Invisalign is right for you, we want to make sure that you are happy to go ahead with the treatment.
Dr Sharma will need to carry out a clinical assessment on your teeth and take x-rays of your mouth to make sure the agreed outcomes are definitely possible. We’ll also take 3D scans of your teeth using Invisalign’s industry-leading technology application to plan the position of each tooth.
These impressions of your teeth will then be sent to our colleagues at Invisalign to create your custom aligners. As mentioned, you’ll also get the chance to see how your teeth look now, how they’ll change during your Invisalign treatment, and how they will look when your treatment is complete.
Invisible braces made to measure
Once created, your custom-made invisible brace will be sent back to your orthodontist in Mill Hill East. You’ll be called back to our North London practice to try them on.
You’ll be given between 18 and 36 aligners for both the upper and lower jaw. Along with these bespoke Invisalign braces, you’ll also be given a personalised treatment plan to let you know the dates of when you need to change your aligner to the next one in the series.
Depending on the complexity of your case, your Invisalign teeth straightening treatment should take around eighteen months to reach the agreed final result.
