Invisalign Braces for Adults

Choosing the best teeth straightening treatment option

With continuous advances in technology, orthodontic treatment for adults and children is becoming more popular. The traditional ‘train-track’ metal braces are no longer the only choice for straightening teeth. You can now choose a more modern, more efficient and more discreet brace system to achieve the smile you want.

Our treatment coordinator will be happy to talk you through all the options with no obligation. We want you to choose the right option for you. Perhaps having a brace wasn’t an option for you as a teenager, you didn’t qualify for NHS treatment then or you’ve found that your teeth have moved as you’ve got older. Whatever your reason for getting in touch, and no matter whether it’s all your teeth or just one that’s twisted, we understand that your smile is a very personal thing and that it can affect your self-confidence dramatically.

You might be feeling a little worried about the thought of lots of dental work. We often find that clearly mapping out your orthodontic journey with us can help to dispel some of the apprehension. With some of the more modern braces it may not even take that long. Some can straighten teeth in as little as 6 months.

Is it worth it? There’s no doubt that your orthodontic journey will require an investment of time, with regular appointments and with extra cleaning of your teeth at home.

With whichever brace you choose your teeth may feel a little bruised at some points, but it should be a pain-free process. Having straighter teeth can also benefit your oral health, as teeth are harder to clean when they are overcrowded and overlapping. Let us assure you, that we will help you with all of this and will teach you how to care for your teeth and braces during your treatment.

How does Invisalign® work?

Comfort & tooth structure

Teeth and jaws that are not properly aligned can cause improper bites, which can lead to increased wear on the tooth enamel and painful trauma to the supporting bone and jaw joints. Invisalign® clear dental braces effectively address these orthodontic issues.

Improved oral health

The metal wires and brackets of traditional fixed braces often trap food, which can lead to a build of up plaque and eventually tooth decay. As Invisalign® clear dental braces are made of plastic and are removable, you can continue to brush and floss as you normally would to maintain good oral hygiene. And because straighter teeth are less susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease, investing in a straighter smile now may even minimise the need for costly dental work in the future.

Healthier teeth & gums

Crowded or widely spaced teeth can result in swollen, red gums, which is a sign of periodontal disease. When teeth are properly aligned, the gums fit securely around the teeth, allowing for a strong defence against periodontal problems. Once treatment has completed and Invisalign® clear dental braces have straightened your teeth, you may find improvements in your overall gum health.

Big changes from small movements

After starting your treatment, it won’t take long until you notice a big difference in your smile. Your Invisalign® aligners are custom-made with proprietary SmartTrack material. They fit snugly over your teeth and are clinically proven to improve control of movement, gently moving your teeth and even rotating them when needed.

Moving even when you are not

As the Invisalign® system discreetly does its work, life can continue as normal. Invisalign aligners are trimmed to your exact gum line so you can comfortably wear your aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day with little disruption. Even when you’re not moving, your teeth will be.

Don't let anything get in your way

Invisalign® clear aligners are removable, so you can continue to do all the things you normally do, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like. And because they are nearly invisible, people are more likely to notice your changing smile than the aligners themselves.
