We receive many requests for Invisalign treatment, which is unsurprising given it’s a gentle and discreet approach to teeth straightening. As it is a removable clear aligner system, you also have the freedom to keep enjoying your favourite foods and drinks! Keep reading to learn more!
It may sound like magic, but the process is actually simple. Invisalign treatment involves applying gradual pressure to your teeth using a series of clear aligners that comfortably cover your teeth. For predictable results, you will need to wear these aligners for 22 hours a day, after which we will provide you with a retainer to preserve your new, straight smile.
We've been the go-to provider of Invisalign in Nottingham for over a decade, and during that time, we've received a ton of queries about this fantastic treatment. So we decided to take the time to answer your top Invisalign questions at Park Dental Care to help you make the best decision for your oral health.
1) "How effective is Invisalign compared to traditional braces?"
We get this question a lot! The effectiveness of Invisalign aligners varies depending on the complexity of your case. We recommend booking an orthodontic consultation so that we can guide you towards the best solution for your unique needs.
In the past, Invisalign was primarily marketed for people with mild dental misalignment or those who experienced relapse after having braces. Since then, Align Technology has developed its aligner system, and it has come a long way. Invisalign's advanced aligners can now address significant orthodontic issues like underbites and overbites. For some people, traditional braces are still the most effective option for technical reasons or because they don’t trust themselves to keep wearing the aligners as recommended.
2) "How often do I need to visit your practice in Nottingham during Invisalign treatment?"
Invisalign is a pretty straightforward process. After we've taken a virtual impression of your mouth with our 3D scanners, we’ll create a bespoke treatment plan, and the aligners will be custom fitted to your teeth. You must wear these aligners every day until it is time to move on to the next set (typically every 1-2 weeks). This will gradually shift your teeth towards their destined final position. Invisalign also offers a handy Smile App to help you track your progress with regular photos.
While the at-home aspects are nicely convenient, you will still need to make regular visits to our Nottingham practice every 6-8 weeks. This is so we can examine your teeth and monitor your progress to ensure everything is progressing as planned.
3) "How much does Invisalign treatment cost?"
Teeth straightening is a highly personalised experience. This means we don't have a set fee for our Invisalign treatments. Instead, the cost will depend on the complexity of your case, which will determine the number of aligners required and the duration of your treatment.
The best way to get an accurate estimate is to book a consultation with our team. We also offer financing plans that allow you to spread the cost of your treatment into smaller, more manageable instalments so you don’t have to compromise when it comes to getting the high-quality care and treatment you deserve.
