Invisalign - the nearly invisible brace
Do you want straight teeth but need something discrete because of personal or professional reasons? We understand. That's why we can offer you Invisalign here at Wansbeck Dental Spa and Implant clinic.
Invisalign is a nearly invisible way to give you the smile you want to boost your confidence. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces and is absolutely ideal for business people and those who require discretion. Invisalign, offered in our centre of excellence located in Hull, is a series of clear aligners designed with discretion in mind.
Each Invisalign aligner is worn for 2 weeks for 22 hours per day. Each aligner is worn for two to three weeks before the patient switches to the next aligner in the series. Ideally, the patient is able to wear each tray for 22 to 23 hours per day, taking the tray out to eat and when brushing teeth. Though the plastic is thin and clear enough to be nearly unnoticeable, it is very durable and forces the teeth to shift over time. The plastic aligners are so thin that oftentimes they are completely invisible
Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, invisalign® uses your dentist’s instructions to create a series of custom made removable mouth trays (aligners). These aligners apply a controlled amount of force to your teeth, causing them to move. Each aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position.
Invisalign® only works while you wear the aligners. We recommend they are worn full time day and night (min 22–24 hours).
Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks, (before moving onto the next in the series), moving your teeth millimetre by millimetre, week by week, until you reach your desired result.
Treatment length will vary depending on your case, but the average invisalign® treatment is nine to eighteen months.
During treatment you should visit us periodically at Wansbeck Dental Spa and Implant Clinic, until it is determined that your treatment is complete.
Once active treatment is complete, there may be some fine tuning to create that perfect smile.
You will need an initial consultation with our
Invisalign® dentist, Dr. Ravinder Varaich, to determine
whether you are a suitable candidate for treatment.
During this consultation Ravinder can give you an indication of an achievable final result, the length, and cost of your treatment.
Impressions, photographs, and x-rays of your teeth will be taken and sent to invisalign®, to construct the 3-D image of how your teeth will look at each stage, from the beginning, to the end of treatment.
The treatment software allows you to see a model of the proposed treatment plan, and discuss what is most important to you before you start.
Once you and Dr. Ravinder Varaich are happy with, and have agreed on the achievable result, you will receive your aligners within 2 weeks. Ravinder will then see you accordingly or at least every 6 weeks to monitor progress.
