Invisalign offers several key benefits over traditional metal braces, making it a popular choice for many patients. The aligners are smooth and comfortable, offering a snug fit with no sharp wires or brackets to irritate your mouth, unlike traditional braces, which can cause soreness, cuts, or discomfort during adjustment periods.

Additionally, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as normal without restrictions. Traditional braces, on the other hand, require extra care and restrictions when eating certain foods.

Another major advantage of Invisalign is its discreet appearance. Since the aligners are clear, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. Traditional braces are visible and can be a source of self-consciousness for many.

Invisalign treatment typically consists of several stages:

1. Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. They will take digital scans of your teeth, which are used to create a customized treatment plan.
2. Aligner Creation: Based on your scans, a series of custom aligners are created to gradually move your teeth.
3. Aligner Wear: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Each new set will gradually move your teeth into better alignment.
4. Regular Check-ups: You’ll have check-up appointments every 6-8 weeks to track your progress and receive new aligners.
5. Completion and Retainers: Once your teeth are in their desired position, you will receive retainers to keep them in place and ensure long-term results.

The length of your Invisalign treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months. However, some patients may see results in as little as 6 months, while others may need a bit longer. Your dentist will provide a more accurate estimate after evaluating your unique situation.

Invisalign pricing varies depending on the complexity of your case, but here are the general costs:

• Invisalign Single Arch (for treatment on the upper or lower jaw): £2,950.00
• Invisalign Dual Arch (for treatment on both the upper and lower jaws): £3,950.00

Does Invisalign Hurt?

While some mild discomfort may occur when you first start wearing a new set of aligners, it is generally much less painful than traditional braces. This discomfort typically subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust to the new aligners.

How Often Do You Have To Get Invisalign Adjustments?

Invisalign adjustments are required every 6-8 weeks, where your dentist will monitor your progress and provide you with your next set of aligners. You’ll continue with your aligners at home between appointments.

Do You Have To Sleep With Invisalign Trays In?

Yes, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, including overnight. Wearing them while you sleep helps keep your treatment on track by applying consistent pressure to your teeth.
