If you or your children need braces Stoke-on-Trent, there is a wide range of treatments that we can offer at Ashlow Orthodontics. We specialise in orthodontics, so if you need braces Stoke-on-Trent, then we are the place to visit! We offer cosmetic and corrective treatments, and we don’t have any waiting lists, so you can be sure to get the treatment you need as quickly as possible. We have high standards of care and a really welcoming environment for you to come and get the treatment that you need. Our team is constantly updating their training to ensure that you get the best care possible with the latest treatments and techniques used. One example of this is our use of Invisalign, a clear aligner treatment that offers convenience and discretion for you.

How to get Invisalign

First things first; Invisalign is not a traditional brace, but uses clear plastic aligners! This means that you wear them over the teeth like a gum shield and they push the teeth into their right positions in around 6 to 18 months. You will need to change your aligners every couple of weeks and come to see us for check-ups every 6 weeks. As this is one of many treatments we offer, you will need to come and have a consultation with us to see if this is the right treatment for you, or whether other options may be preferable. We will examine your mouth and assess your alignment issues, before we recommend the braces Stoke-on-Trent that could work. We will discuss this with you and you can ask the questions you need answering to ensure you fully understand what’s involved. If you do decide to have Invisalign, then we will use an iTero digital scan to get the measurements of your mouth to have your aligners made to measure. From this, we will then create an animation in 3D of what your smile will look like after the treatment has finished. This will give you a clear idea of what the results will be, before you even start wearing your aligners.

Convenience for you

If you are wondering what all the fuss is about with Invisalign, then it may help you to know that the aligners are virtually invisible when they are being worn. This means that you won’t need to worry about other people noticing that you are having treatment and staring at your appliance; you should be able to continue with life as normal. You also have the convenience of being able to remove the aligners at mealtimes, so you won’t have to worry about cleaning food off them or avoiding any foods that could potentially damage them. In fact, the plastic is a really durable material, so the aligners are very difficult to damage anyway. You will also be able to take your aligners out, when you are cleaning your teeth and you should also have time to take them out while you do other things, such as sports. The aim is to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day.
