Invisalign® aligners can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic issues and have become a viable option for the modern adult, teenager and child. Dr Wilson is one of Bristols leading Invisalign Specialist Orthodontics providers.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. These aligners are made from a smooth and comfortable plastic material, making them a popular choice for people seeking a more aesthetic and comfortable option for teeth straightening.
Invisalign® is a state-of-the-art treatment that encompasses some hugely beneficial technology for orthodontist and patient alike. You will be able to see what your smile will look like before you even have treatment, thanks to ClinCheck® software. Once we have assessed your suitability for treatment, we will take digital scans of your teeth, which will inform the design of your Invisalign® clear aligners. As soon as we receive the custom-made aligners back from the laboratory, you can start treatment, replacing them every two weeks in the comfort of your own home.
Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic treatment, but it may not be suitable for everyone.
It’s important to have a consultation with a qualified orthodontist or dentist to assess whether Invisalign is the right choice for an individual’s orthodontic needs. They can provide personalised recommendations based on the patient’s unique situation.
During the initial consultation, you’ll meet with our experienced orthodontist or dentist. They will assess your orthodontic needs, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. This stage is crucial for creating a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements.
Once you decide to proceed with Invisalign, the next step involves creating a series of custom aligners. These aligners are designed based on the treatment plan developed during your consultation. Each set of aligners is slightly different and carefully crafted to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions.
The creation of your custom aligners is a precise and detailed process. Advanced technology is used to ensure that each aligner fits comfortably and securely over your teeth. These aligners are made from a smooth and clear plastic material, making them nearly invisible when worn.
With your new aligners in hand, it’s time to begin your treatment journey. You’ll wear the aligners throughout the day and night, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. It’s essential to follow your orthodontist’s instructions and wear the aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours daily for the best results.
After completing the series of aligners, you’ll have achieved your desired results. Your teeth should be straighter and more aligned, giving you a beautiful smile. At this stage, your orthodontist will evaluate your progress and discuss any necessary follow-up care to maintain your new smile.
These four stages of Invisalign treatment offer a convenient, discreet, and effective way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us.
