Your Invisalign® journey at Bright & White Dental Spa starts with an Initial Consultation with our treatment co-ordinator or dentist. During this visit we will listen to your concerns, explain the Invisalign® process and let you know if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign® and answer all your questions. We will offer you a predicted time schedule for your treatment, provide you with a written quotation and discuss all financing options available to you. One of the things we are passionate about is Minimally Invasive Dentistry – which means we do the least amount of treatment possible to achieve your desired result, and the final result could be better dental health or better aesthetics.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is the “Nearly invisible” way to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces. Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove your aligners before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. This technology is also more comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces.
When compared to traditional fixed metal braces Invisalign® has several advantages:
Convenient – it does not disrupt your lifestyle, you can remove your aligners to eat the food you want and clean your teeth.
Discrete – since the aligners are virtually invisible most people won’t even notice you’re in treatment.
Comfortable – there are no metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth.
How long does treatment take?
You will need to wear each set of aligners throughout the day and nights, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each aligner is made slightly different so you will need to change them every two weeks as your teeth gradually move. Total treatment time averages 6-12 months, but will vary depending on your individual case. We will require you to visit us every 6 weeks or so to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
What to expect during treatment:
- Digital X-rays, photographs of your mouth and face along with study models are all required to personalise and plan each individual treatment, which we will send directly to Invisalign® in the States along with a set of precise instructions.
- Computer imaging is used to transform the impressions we send into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There may be as many as 30 in the series or as few as 18, depending on your individual treatment plan.
- We will give you your first set aligners which will need to be worn for 2 weeks. We will usually give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your progress visit.
