How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign uses a highly advanced technology and a series of clear aligners to straighten teeth, one small step at a time, till they are completely straight. Each set of aligners needs to be worn for 2 weeks, the aligner set moves your teeth a little in the right direction. The next one in the series move your teeth further along in the desired direction. By the time you complete all your aligners, your teeth are in their final desired positions.

Its digital software simulates how your teeth are expected to move with each set of aligners. The aligners are then manufactured to enable the expected teeth movement. Your dentist will monitor your progress each step of the way, to ensure your teeth are moving as desired.

Digital simulation of your smile transformation

We will show you a digital simulation of how your teeth can be expected to move with Invisalign aligners over the duration of your treatment. This is done once at the start during your consultation and again during the ClinCheck stage.

The ClinCheck smile simulation is essentially the dentist programming the Invisalign software, stipulating each set of aligners to move teeth in a certain way, using their extensive experience to ensure teeth have the ability to move in that manner.

Different dentists achieve different results based on their levels of experience in aligning teeth.

If you want to use Invisalign to close gaps in teeth, we usually suggest the Comprehensive package. Contact us via any of the methods provided to get a clear picture of how much is Invisalign in the UK. We offer flexible finance options at both our clinics in London Waterloo & London Marble Arch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Invisalign?

It is a completely new way to align teeth. It is a revolutionary new brace system that uses the latest 3D technology to transform your smile. It first digitally simulates how your teeth can be expected to move over time; it then uses the digital simulation to print plastic aligners to move your teeth as per the digital simulation. Invisible aligners are a good alternative to traditional braces. To learn more about what is Invisalign, feel free to give us a call.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The duration of treatment is dependent on a number of factors such as – complexity of the misalignment issues, the patient’s age, and also their overall compliance with wearing the aligners. The length of time that your treatment takes depends on each individual case. The average treatment time is about 12 to 18 months, but some mild to moderate cases may take as little as 6-8 months, while others more complex cases can take up to 2 years. More details on how long does Invisalign take can be found in our article page.

Is Invisalign painful?

The treatment may cause some discomfort or soreness, particularly in the first few days after beginning treatment or when transitioning to a new set of aligners. However, the level of discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

In general, people ask does Invisalign hurt more than braces? We tend to find that plastic aligners cause less discomfort than traditional metal braces because the aligners are smooth and do not have any brackets or wires that can cause irritation or soreness in the mouth, aligners are also a more familiar feel to us all, due to the use of mouth guards and retainer trays such as whitening trays.

Any discomfort or soreness experienced during treatment is typically temporary and should improve as you become accustomed to wearing the aligners. If the discomfort is persistent or severe, it’s important to consult with your dentist to ensure that there are no underlying issues.

Is Invisalign worth it?

It is usually less expensive than traditional braces, so the lower price may be a consideration for some patients. Many people find the added convenience and aesthetics of clear aligners to be well worth it. It can also be a good option for people who need to straighten their teeth but want to maintain a professional appearance, as the clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn. In addition, the ability to remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing can make oral hygiene easier during treatment. This also is a strong factor for making the treatment worth it to many people.

Aligner treatment may not always be the best treatment option for every patient. In cases where significant tooth movement is needed, traditional braces may be a more effective option. It’s important to consult with a dentist to determine if aligner treatment is the right treatment option for your specific needs and goals. We recommend you take a look at our reviews and our extensive before and after Invisalign photos gallery.

Does Invisalign work ?

Yes, most definitely. We have used it to straighten teeth for hundreds of patients in London. Studies have shown that it can be as effective as traditional braces for many types of orthodontic issues. In addition, the convenience and aesthetics of invisible aligners may make it a more attractive option for some patients.

It’s important to note that the success of the treatment depends on the patient’s compliance with wearing the aligners as directed by their dentist. A patient needs to wear straightening aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day and only remove them for eating, brushing and flossing. Failure to wear the aligners as directed can result in treatment taking longer than anticipated or being less effective.

Which is better – Invisalign or braces?

Invisalign and braces both have their pros and cons. Invisible aligners are discreet and removable, providing minimal lifestyle impact. Traditional braces are usually faster at aligning teeth, but are not as discreet. It’s a very personal choice. We have provided a comparison between Invisalign vs braces in our article page.

Is Invisalign faster than braces?

It depends. In some mild to moderate cases, it can be faster. However, this is dependent on the patient following instructions from the dentist. In harder cases, traditional braces tend to be faster. We have provided more details on whether Invisalign is faster than braces in our article page.
