How Invisalign works

Invisalign consists of aligners which are made of plastic and are worn over the teeth. They push the teeth to gradually move them into the correct position. Each week, you will need to change your aligners and you will be provided with enough to last you for 6 weeks, after which point you will need to have a checkup with us and get the next set of them.

Are the aligners fixed in your mouth?

The aligners are like a rugby gum shield, except we use iTero technology to digitally scan your mouth and have them made bespoke for you by Invisalign’s laboratories. The aligners should therefore be comfortable to wear and you may remove them for up to 2 hours a day. This means that you can remove them at mealtimes and you won’t have to avoid any yummy scrummy food – bring on the steak! What’s more, you can also take them out when you are brushing – don’t forget to floss too! This should enable you to maintain high oral hygiene standards as well.

What are the other benefits of choosing Invisalign?

Aside from the fact that the aligners are comfortable to wear, they can be removed and will get you a great smile, one of the best things about Invisalign is arguably the fact that the aligners are virtually invisible when being worn. This should give you the confidence to wear your aligners with pride, knowing that other people shouldn’t notice that you have anything in your mouth.

Another advantage is the fact that by realigning your teeth, you will have them in the optimum position for cleaning them effectively. Not only that, but if you have had any jaw pain, speech difficulties or chewing problems because of your misalignment, Invisalign could rectify these issues for you.
