Why Invisalign aligners offer a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth

Invisalign aligners provide a discreet and comfortable solution for teeth straightening, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces. The aligners are custom-made from a smooth, transparent plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, gently and gradually shifting them into their desired position. This means you can achieve a straighter smile without the aesthetic or physical discomfort often associated with metal wires and brackets.

During your Invisalign treatment in Edinburgh, the aligners are also removable. This allows you to eat, drink, and maintain your oral hygiene routine with ease, simply by taking them out for a short period. The treatment is mapped out digitally from the start, so you’ll know exactly what to expect and can visualise the final result.

Benefits of Invisalign treatment

Discreet: Imagine straightening your teeth without anyone even noticing! When choosing to have a cosmetic treatment like orthodontics, it makes sense that it should be aesthetically pleasing. Invisalign appliances are made from a clear plastic that is durable and hardly noticeable when worn.

Removable: Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can eat and drink the same foods you did before. You simply take them out when you eat, clean your teeth and then pop them back on.

Comfortable: Everything about Invisalign treatment has been designed with comfort in mind. The accurate and precise impressions promise a secure fit and the careful gum-line trim ensures comfort.

Effective: Invisalign treatment offers a gentle yet powerful way to transform your smile. It’s a gradual process that carefully guides your teeth into their ideal positions. Whether you’re dealing with misalignment, annoying gaps, or overcrowding, Invisalign aligners can effectively address a wide range of issues.

Innovative: Experience the future of orthodontics! Invisalign treatment harnesses the very latest digital technology at every stage. From the incredibly accurate 3D scans that map your unique smile to the advanced SmartTrack material engineered for maximum comfort and precise tooth movement, you’re benefiting from cutting-edge innovation.

What to expect during your Invisalign treatment journey

We first start by carrying out an assessment of your oral health. We’ll need to take impressions of your mouth. These are used to create models of your teeth. The models are sent to the lab where they are digitally scanned so they can produce your custom-made aligners.

During your fitting, we make sure the fit is perfect and talk through how your treatment will work. We’ll explain when to move onto the next set of aligners and how to keep your mouth as healthy as possible during your treatment.

The length of the treatment depends on your individual case. If your teeth are expected to cover a lot of movement, more aligners will be needed and so lengthen your treatment. During your first appointment, we will be able to give you an estimate of your treatment length. Every mouth is different, and some patients tend to find that their teeth move more slowly.

At the end of the treatment, we will take impressions of your newly straightened teeth. These are used to create your retainer. Teeth have a habit of moving out of position and it’s necessary to have a retainer to prevent losing all that hard work. Retainers can be either fixed or removable.

FAQs

Invisalign works through small, gradual movements of the teeth. This is achieved through many different aligners, each to be worn for one week until the last set. Each set of aligners you wear gradually moves your teeth towards their desired position. Treatments can last between 7 weeks and 24 months, but it entirely depends on your own individual treatment.
Treatment length varies from case to case, but most Invisalign treatments are completed in 9-18 months. Straightforward cases have a faster treatment time, whilst patients needing more complex straightening can expect to wear their aligners for longer. We can advise you of your expected treatment time after your initial consultation.
Invisalign clear aligners can be used by individuals of various ages, from teenagers to adults. There are products available, such as Invisalign Teen and Invisalign First, suitable for younger patients. There's no strict age limit, but the suitability of Invisalign treatment depends on factors such as dental health, orthodontic needs, and patient compliance, as you need to be wearing the aligners for them to work.
Some main differences between Invisalign treatment and traditional braces are that the Invisalign system is virtually invisible, removable for easy cleaning, and often causes less discomfort than traditional braces. Invisalign treatment is a great option for those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment. However, drawbacks of the Invisalign system include the need for strict compliance with wearing the aligners, whereas traditional braces work all the time. Invisalign treatment may not be suitable for severe orthodontic issues. Have a consultation with us to determine if Invisalign aligners are the right choice for your specific needs and lifestyle.
You may find it takes a few days to get used to the aligners, and you may have a slight lisp at first, but you should be talking clearly and confidently before long.
The cost of treatment depends on each individual case, with complex cases needing more aligners and therefore being more expensive. We are able to give you an exact treatment cost based on the examination and assessment we carry out during your initial consultation. We offer payment plans and finance options to help you spread the cost of treatment.
