Invisalign Treatment Process

Your complimentary consultation involves one of our friendly, professional and highly experienced staff getting to know you and your smile goals, understanding your dental and medical history, and discussing your Invisalign and clear aligners options.

This is your chance to ask any questions you may have about Invisalign, including the approximate costs involved with your particular case. Costs can vary according to the complexity of the treatment, and number of aligners.

When and if you feel comfortable to proceed, your dentist will examine your teeth and take radiographic imaging and photos, before confirming your comprehensive treatment plan, designed just for you.

This allows us design an accurate treatment plan which will show precisely how your teeth will move into their new positions, using the ClinCheck system. The beauty of this system is that you’ll get a sneak preview of how your new smile will look, as you’ll be able to see a virtual representation of your teeth before, during, and at the completion of treatment.

Once you’re happy with the ClinCheck treatment plan, and it has all been approved by our dentist, you can look forward to receiving your new aligners.

Your aligners are constructed to follow the different stages of the treatment plan. All you have to do is pop them in your mouth, and replace the aligners with a fresh set every two weeks, so your teeth are gradually moving into their new positions in exactly the way shown in ClinCheck. The exact number of aligners required will vary from case to case, and can range from between 18 and 36 for full treatment. The duration of treatment also varies from between 9 and 18 months.

Although you’ll be provided with several sets of aligners, we will still want to see you regularly (around every six weeks) to check your progress.

You may take your aligners out for eating, drinking and cleaning, but you do need to wear them for approximately twenty to twenty-two hours each day for the treatment to be effective within the time span predicted.

Now that your smile has been transformed with the world’s most advanced clear aligner system, you want to make sure you maintain your new smile for many years to come. This is where retainers come in. Without them, teeth will gradually revert back to their original position

Vivera retainers are custom made and strong enough to keep your teeth in their final position, helping you protect and maintain your smile. These are also fully customised to give a comfortable fit, and will only need changing every few months.
