Invisalign i7

This type of aligner is used in cases where there are slight dental abnormalities. It can also be used for amendment of minor relapse cases. This aligner is particularly good for small aesthetic improvements or where minor treatment is required – This could be treating slight overcrowding cases or perhaps that single annoying crooked tooth that has always been an eyesore in photos. You may need up to 7 aligners in total to complete the treatment. Treatment is often limited to the front 8 teeth.

Invisalign Lite

This aligner is perfect for a case in which the bite is considered normal, but the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth by a small amount. It is a basic, dual arch treatment that uses up to 14 removable clear aligners and allows patients a shorter more affordable treatment. Ideal for those who need the positioning of their teeth adjusted and straightened before cosmetic work whether that be veneers crowns or bridges.

Invisalign Full

Invisalign Full is the original and most well-known aligner. It is used to treat the more complex orthodontic conditions. On average treatment time can range from 12 to 18 months but differs from person to person. In most cases it may be necessary to fit small attachments onto your teeth to help achieve certain movements. These are very discreet and your orthodontist will be able to show you some examples before you start your treatment.

• Nearly-invisible aligners mean hardly anyone will notice that you are straightening your teeth.
• The removable aligners allow you to maintain your dental hygiene, brushing and flossing as usual.
• You can also remove the aligners briefly to eat, drink or for special occasions.
• Even before starting treatment, you’ll know how long your treatment may take and what your teeth are expected to look like.
• Unlike outdated fixed metal braces, there are no metal brackets or wires – this means that, in most cases, your treatment length is up to 50% shorter.
• Invisalign is effective for various cases – their material SmartTrack makes Invisalign treatment effective for complex issues.
• Invisalign appointments work within your schedule, with the surgery open from 9 am-7 pm.
• The aligners are made especially to fit your teeth and the shape of your mouth.
• Invisalign treatment enables you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you even agree to go ahead with treatment – this way, you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners reduce damage to teeth and gums as metal braces contain wire and bits of metal that can puncture and scratch the insides of the mouth and gums.

Price is an essential factor when deciding on an orthodontic treatment. Invisalign cost depends on your dental needs and can only be assessed during your first appointment with an Invisalign-trained dentist.

We strive to make dental treatment affordable to you and with our finance options.

Due to the varying complexities of individual cases, the prices for Invisalign vary and will be finalised at your consultation.

Like other orthodontic treatments, the use of Invisalign may involve some of the risks outlined below:

• Failure to wear the appliances for the required number of hours per day, not using the product as directed by your doctor, missing appointments, and erupting or atypically shaped teeth can lengthen the treatment time and affect the ability to achieve the desired results
• Slight tenderness may be experienced after switching to the next aligner in the series. This way, we know things are working.
• Aligners may cause a temporary increase in salivation or mouth dryness
• Teeth may require interproximal re-contouring or “slenderizing” to create the space needed for dental alignment.
• Aligners are not effective in the movement of dental implants.
• We will need to check the stability of all other existing dental restorations (e.g. crowns) to ensure they aren’t dislodged.

Cleaning Invisalign aligners is easy as they are removable. When you brush your teeth, you should be cleaning your aligners as well. You can use antibacterial soap on them, using a soft toothbrush to clean the surfaces and rinsing with lukewarm water. Don’t use toothpaste as it can scratch your aligners. Once a week, we recommend soaking your aligners using Retainer Brite.

Some foods and drinks can cause your aligners to stain so you may want to remove them when you drink something other than water. Whenever your aligners are out of your mouth, keep them safe in their protective case.

After orthodontic treatment, you must wear a retainer to keep your newly straightened teeth in line. We offer different options for a retainer – you can choose to have a fixed retainer behind your teeth or a clear, removable retainer which you will be expected to wear at night.
