What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a system of custom-made, clear plastic trays that fit snugly around the teeth and gently shift them into the proper position. The real meaning of Invisalign®—a combination of invisibly aligning teeth.
They are nearly invisible, making them an ideal choice for adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to the procedure.
Amongst the many benefits of wearing Invisalign®, is that it is user-friendly. You can eat, drink, and brush your teeth normally because they are detachable. You will change to a new set of aligners every few weeks, each one intended to move your teeth closer to their ideal alignment.
Why choose Invisalign® over traditional braces?
Most people associate traditional braces with a mouthful of metal and years of discomfort. Invisalign® offers several benefits:
- Aesthetic and discreet teeth straightening option: The use of clear BPA-free resin makes the aligners nearly invisible. This means you can go about your day with confidence, whether you are at work, socialising, or smiling for a photograph.
- Comfortable and painless: Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. They are soft, mouldable, and gentle on the gums; there are no metal brackets or wires to worry about, and you will not experience gum or cheek irritation.
- Convenience: The biggest benefit of Invisalign treatment is the sheer versatility and ease of use. Because you remove the aligners while eating, you do not need to avoid hard or sticky foods like braces.
- Values your time: One of the benefits of Invisalign treatment is that you don’t have to make as many visits to the dentist. Typically, you will only need to visit Taylored Dental Care every 6-8 weeks for a quick update on your treatment progress.
- Versatile: Clear aligners can effectively address minor misalignment and complex dental issues like underbites, crossbites, gaps, and deep bites, providing results comparable to traditional braces and sometimes faster.
- Optimal oral health: Remove aligners during oral hygiene routines without any change in brushing and flossing habits, preventing food particles from attracting and holding them, thereby maintaining healthy gums.
- Customised treatment and digital workflows: Every Invisalign treatment is unique and tailor-made. Taylored Dental Care uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create personalised treatment plans, allowing patients to preview their desired smile virtually before starting treatment, ensuring a smoother and more effective outcome—called the SMILE PREVIEW.
- Affordability: Though the upfront Invisalign cost in Bradford seems considerable, we offer affordable and flexible payment options, including third-party payment parties, co-payments, and interest-free options, to make treatment more convenient for you.
Who can benefit from Invisalign®?
Invisalign treatment can resolve an array of teeth alignment issues:
- Crowded teeth occur when there is not enough space in your jaw, causing your teeth to overlap or twist.
- Gaps between teeth, excessive or uneven gaps, can be harmful to your smile and oral health.
- Misaligned bites, including overbite, underbite, and crossbite, can impair jaw function and cause long-term tooth wear.
- A misaligned bite causes pain in the jaw joint, or TMJ.
- Cheek bites, lip bites, food lodgements, and other similar incidents are common.
- Malformations of the teeth, palate, and other structures can cause speech difficulties.
Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, Invisalign in Wibsey could be the best orthodontic treatment option for you.
How does the Invisalign® process work?
- Consultation: The Invisalign journey starts with a thorough consultation—here we record your dental history, examine the teeth and gums, and understand your concerns about the present status of your teeth and treatment goals.
- We then digitally scan your teeth to provide a “smile preview.” Clin-Check technology, which is built into the Invisalign system, allows you to see the results of your teeth straightening treatment in real-time, giving you confidence in the outcome.
- Custom Treatment Plan: After reviewing the digital teeth scans, photographs, and clinical exam, we develop a detailed treatment plan outlining the movement of your teeth. We have it reviewed by you before we finalise the plan and order for your Invisalign box.
- Wearing the aligners: Once ready, we will walk you through the process, and advise you to wear the aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for meals and brushing. You must wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before moving on to the next. Never throw an aligner after use.
- Follow-ups: There will be periodic check-ups to ensure your progress is on track. These visits are quick and easy, with no need for adjustments like with braces.
- After treatment: After the treatment is complete, you will have to wear the Invisalign retainers to hold your teeth in their new position and prevent relapse. Retainers look similar to the original aligners but are easier to use and must be worn for fewer hours in a day, usually at bedtime.
