What is Invisalign® ?
Invisalign is the modern way to straighten teeth and offers an alternative to the traditional metal braces.
Made up of a series of clear, plastic, removable aligners, Invisalign is painless and practically invisible, meaning no one needs to know that you’re having your teeth straightened!
Whether you’re a teenager who is looking for a more discreet way to straighten teeth or you are an adult who has put off teeth straightening because you don’t want to wear metal braces, Invisalign is the perfect choice to get straight teeth and a stunning smile.
Patients from Shepherd’s Bush, Acton, Hammersmith and West London love that Invisalign has no metal brackets or wires which make teeth straightening discreet and comfortable.
What is the process for Invisalign®
Invisalign clear plastic aligners fit over the top of your teeth and gently guides them into position. With no metal wires digging into your gums, teeth straightening is more gentle than conventional braces.
You change your aligners on a weekly basis to the next set in the series. This allows for the small, gradual movement in your teeth as they are being straightened.
Invisalign aligners are removable. You take them out to eat and to brush your teeth, but you must wear your aligners for a minimum of 20 hours a day for the straightening process to work.
Invisalign® process in 3 easy steps
Step 1
At your first consultation at Askew Dental Care, we will assess your teeth and gums and listen to what you would like to change about your smile. We will check that you are eligible for Invisalign®.
Next, we will take photos and 3D digital images of your teeth. The images will show how your teeth will move whilst they are being straightened, and they will show you how your teeth will look once Invisalign® treatment is finished.
The digital images are sent to Invisalign® and are used to create your bespoke aligners.
Step 2
When your Invisalign® aligners are ready, we will invite you back to the dental surgery in Shepherd’s Bush. We will show you how to wear your aligners and how to remove them. This takes a little bit of getting used to, but you will soon find it easy enough.
We will provide you with several sets of Invisalign® aligners to get you started.
Step 3
You wear the first set of aligners in your pack for a minimum of 20 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, to drink anything other than water and to brush your teeth. Change your aligners to the next set in the series after one week.
Continue in this way until you reach the last set of aligners in the series and your treatment is complete. Periodically, we will request that you come into see us so that we can check on your progress and ensure that treatment is continuing in the way that it should.
At the end of your Invisalign® treatment, we will offer you removable or permanent retainers. This ensures that your teeth remain in position and will not move in the future.
