Here at Phoenix Dental in Palmers Green we are pleased to offer Invisalign, a revolutionary teeth straightening system that offers a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into their desired positions, providing an effective and discreet solution for various orthodontic issues. We also have a range of other clear aligner systems available, your dentist will advise the best option for your treatment program.
One of the primary benefits of Invisalign is its aesthetic appeal. Unlike conventional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who wish to avoid the conspicuous appearance of metal brackets and wires. This feature allows you to maintain your natural smile and confidence throughout the treatment process.
Your Invisalign treatment in Palmers Green begins with a thorough consultation with our highly experienced dentist to assess your suitability. During this visit, a detailed digital scan or impression of your teeth is taken to create a precise 3D model. This model is used to design a personalised treatment plan, mapping out the gradual movements of the teeth from their current positions to the desired alignment. You can even preview your expected results before beginning the treatment!
Once the treatment plan is finalised, a series of custom aligners are manufactured. These aligners are made of a smooth, BPA-free plastic and are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. You will typically wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. The aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, only being removed for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.
Matt and the team were excellent. Matt was meticulous and took the time to explain what I was after! Highly recommend this practice. L
Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of dental issues, including:
Crowding
Gaps
Overbites
Underbites
Crossbites
The treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case but generally ranges from six months to two years. You will be invited back for regular check-ups to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Another significant advantage of Invisalign is the convenience it offers in daily life. Since the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods without restriction and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without the obstacles posed by braces. Additionally, the aligners are smooth and less likely to cause irritation to the gums and cheeks compared to metal braces.
Overall, Invisalign provides a flexible, comfortable, and nearly invisible solution for achieving a straighter smile, making it an attractive option for those seeking orthodontic treatment without the drawbacks of traditional “train track” braces.
We also offer alternatives to Invisalign and this will be discussed with you during your consultation.
