Invisalign®

If you’re looking for a straight smile without the metal-mouth, clear aligners may be the solution. Invisalign® is a set of transparent (see-through) aligners that fit over your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable & replaced every two weeks for the entire course of your treatment.

The restrictive brackets & wires of traditional metal braces can trap bits of food & make cleaning your teeth more difficult. If you don’t thoroughly clean your teeth while wearing metal braces, you may end up with stains when they’re removed.

With Invisalign®, there is no need for fixed wires & brackets, so you won’t have to worry about food stuck in your braces. Plus you can smile confidently without trying to hide a mouthful of metal! Placing & removing Invisalign® aligners is seamless & convenient, & they can be easily removed before meals or social engagements. Even when you’re wearing them, they are discreet & blend in with your smile.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth. Each clear aligner only shifts your teeth slightly, so you need to “upgrade” them every two weeks. You’ll wear around 20 to 30 sets of aligners before your treatment is finished. Some patients need to wear more sets & others need to wear fewer. It all depends on your specific case!

It is a powerful tool for treating minor to moderate orthodontic problems. If your problem is severe enough, we may not be able to treat your case with Invisalign® aligners. Traditional metal braces are a reliable alternative that can correct most bite issues. To find out which treatment is best for you, please call for a consultation today!

Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces

Removable aligners are handy, but taking them out too frequently can make your treatment more difficult. If you spend too much time without wearing them, you can actually lose progress & increase the time & expense of your Invisalign® treatment. You may even need to go back to wearing an old pair of aligners! Dentists recommend keeping your aligners on for at least 22 hours a day. Only remove them for meals & special occasions, & keep track of the amount of time they aren’t in your mouth. If you tend to be forgetful, you may be better off with traditional braces.

Invisalign Process Overview

Initial Consultation consultation in which we look into the issues that concern you and what we can achieve with Invisalign. 

Your Consent:  if you decide to go ahead with Invisalign we just need you to sign an Invisalign Consent form.

Clincheck – Invisalign and our clinic put together a digital simulation of your teeth showing them moving to their new positions. We discuss the Invisalign simulation with you, so you understand the Invisalign Treatment

Fitting Appointment – Invisalign system has small attachments called buttons to be placed on your teeth to facilitate movement. We also issue you with other systems we use in conjunction with Invisalign like Dental Monitoring

Reviews & Monitoring – We keep an eye on you with our remote monitoring system using Ai. This ensures you are in constant contact with us and we don’t waste your time coming in for unnecessary checks.

Retainers – At the end of treatment provided you don’t need any Invisalign refinements we issue you with Invisalign Vivera night retainers.

Procedure Overview

As your treatment progresses, each new set will have minor adjustments. You may notice that a new set doesn’t fit quite right at first. This is because your teeth need to shift to fit the aligner’s shape. Invisalign® is a gradual process, so each aligner only moves a few specific teeth at a time. Your dentist or orthodontist will check up on your progress every few weeks & give you new sets of clear aligners based on your current progress.

The pressure from the aligner is strong enough to move most teeth, but some may need an extra push. Your dentist or orthodontist can add attachments to help guide your teeth into place. An attachment is made with a small dot of liquid bonding resin that is applied to a specific tooth & hardened with a special curing light. This dot helps make contact with the aligner, applying extra force to teeth that may not shift on their own. Adding & later removing this bonding resin is a simple process that doesn’t require any anaesthesia.

WHAT CAN INVISALIGN FIX

Crossbite

Teeth are often crowded, and cross bite is when teeth are sitting in the opposite direction. Like the upper front teeth are on the inside of the lower teeth. Invisalign is a nice gentle way of moving the teeth back into the correct position. Invisalign will apply the slow gentle forces to the predetermined position to produce a beautiful smile.,

GAPPED

Gapped teeth are annoying as they trap food and don't produce and aesthetic smile. Gapped teeth can develop over time as you grow older, or they can be something that you are born with. Invisalign will fix gapped teeth in a short space of time and produce a beautiful smile. Sometimes with gapped teeth you may need some bonding in order to make the teeth the right proportions. Invisalign has a number of features which will allow us to pretest and see what our end result will be. 

CROWDED TEETH

Crowded teeth are the most common problem people come in with. Crowded teeth result in you not being able to clean your teeth well and hence more problems with decay and tartar build up. Apart from that the aesthetic aspects often can result in you not being as confident in yourself. Invisalign has the ability to move teeth in different directions at the same time. Invisalign is also hardly noticeable to that mean you can carry on your normal life without being more self-conscious as Invisalign treatment progress's.

UNDERBITE

Underbites happen because there is a larger growth of the lower jaw compared to the upper jaw.  Invisalign can help in developing plans to move the teeth and what additional techniques we can use to ensure we achieve a good outcome for you. Invisalign allows up to plan in detail the correct approach for you.

STRAIGHTER

Often our teeth are in the right place but just in the wrong direction or angulation which can result in the smile not looking straight. Invisalign is a great way to correct this problem and achieve a straighter healthier looking smile.

OPEN BITE

Open bites can be either in the front or the back teeth. Invisalign is really good at closing anterior open bites. Posterior ones can be a bit harder, however the gentle sustained forces of Invisalign will gradually bring the teeth together

OVER BITE

Overbite is one of the hardest areas in orthodontic movement. Invisalign has developed a number of propriety systems and techniques which makes this form of treatment much easier to treat than before. 

FAQ
Invisalign Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day to achieve the best results. If you wear them less, your treatment with Invisalign aligners will take longer. Invisalign aligners are taken out for eating, brushing your teeth, and special occasions.
Invisalign aligners are made from a proprietary clear aligner material developed especially by Invisalign, which makes them very different from other companies. Invisalign aligners are clear so they are hardly noticeable unless someone looks at you very closely. Our practice had a receptionist who had Invisalign treatment, and nobody knew even though she was talking to people every day close up.
Invisalign treatment, in most cases, takes approx. 12 months but can range up to 18 months. The important issue in Invisalign treatment is that you wear your Invisalign aligners as you have been instructed to do. The better you comply with Invisalign treatment protocols the quicker you will finish your Invisalign treatment.
Everyone has to wear night retainers for all orthodontic work, including Invisalign. Invisalign has developed special night retainers called Vivera. For every treatment we carry out with Invisalign, we provide Vivera night retainers.
Invisalign costs vary due to the variation of the treatment that has to be carried out. The average cost of Invisalign treatment is between $8500.00 and $9500.00, inclusive of all services provided by Invisalign. Often, we use other companies that have products that can help with Invisalign treatment, and if we recommend those, we will advise you of all the costs upfront so there are no surprises.
Invisalign consults with Supreme Dental Concepts are free and you will be provided with all the information so that you are able to make the right choice for yourself. You can then decide if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. Invisalign consultations are ½ hour long and can be made online or by ringing up the practice.
