At Weybridge Orthodontics, we care about all of our patients’ needs and we understand the importance of feeling confident in the treatment we provide. For many adults, however, the thought of choosing visible braces to improve the alignment of their smile makes them feel like doing anything but smile and we know it! Choosing Invisalign Weybridge with us at Weybridge Orthodontics could be the solution you’re looking for.

What is Invisalign Weybridge?

Invisalign is an alternative to fixed, visible braces. It consists of clear plastic aligners that are bespoke, made to fit comfortably along the gum line. As the name suggests, when worn, they are barely visible to other people and are basically invisible! The aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. You will receive sets of aligners to take home and change on a weekly basis, coming for check-ups every six weeks or so.

Why should I choose Invisalign?

If you’re looking for a discreet solution to realigning your smile, then Invisalign does just that. We find that our patients enjoy the flexibility that Invisalign offers. You can remove the aligners when brushing and flossing, enabling you to look after your teeth and gums properly. You can also remove them when you are eating and drinking, so there’s no need to clean your dinner off them after having enjoyed a meal – a slightly less pleasant way to end a meal! Not only that, but you can remove the aligners when you want to play a particular sport or if you have a social event that you don’t want to wear them for. The flexibility and choice that Invisalign offers allows you to have control over your treatment and still get results – as long as you generally aim for around 22 hours a day of wearing the aligners.

Another major benefit to choosing Invisalign is that they are comfortable to wear. This is thanks to the fact that you will have an iTero scan which will get the exact measurements of your mouth for your aligners to be made and allows a 3D animation to be made to show you what your teeth will look like after treatment, before you’ve even started wearing them! There’s nothing like a little bit of imagination to help your motivation for treatment. Invisalign also offers a range for teenagers called InvisalignTeen and motivation factors can always be useful – the scan just won’t get them to do their homework any more willingly!

Finally, clear plastic aligners tend not to break as easily as other brace systems such as fixed braces. This means you shouldn’t be needing as many emergency appointments, if any. We know that you will have a lot of commitments and won’t want to be visiting us too frequently and you shouldn’t have to. If you do need to see us, though, we are always here and ready to help. Just book in with our friendly receptionists for an appointment and we look forward to greeting you.

For a smile that shines, check out Invisalign and find the confidence that a great smile brings.

Having misaligned teeth can be a source of embarrassment, anxiety and frustration. At Weybridge Orthodontics, we believe that nobody should feel like this. We want our patients to feel confident and happy, smiling on the inside and out. Invisalign Weybridge offers a discreet solution to realigning your teeth and is comfortable and convenient too. We believe that you deserve the very best and that’s why our extensive range of treatments includes one of the most popular brands of aligners on the market.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign Weybridge is a discreet solution to realigning your teeth because it consists of clear plastic aligners that sit comfortably on the gum line. They apply gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. When worn, they are hardly noticeable thanks to the clear plastic that they’re made from. They are also durable and aren’t prone to breaking as there are no small parts. You will receive sets of aligners to take home and change on a weekly basis, only coming to see us for check-up appointments every 6 weeks or so.

How do I get Invisalign?

If you are interested in trying Invisalign, the first thing you need to do is book in for a consultation with us at Weybridge Orthodontics. We will give you a thorough examination and check to see if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If it is, we will then scan your mouth with iTero technology to get the measurements for your aligners and from this we can also make a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after treatment. It’s advanced technology at its finest! Invisalign can treat mild to moderate alignment issues and we will be happy to discuss your individual circumstances with you and let you know what will work best for you.

Why is Invisalign worth having?

The beauty of Invisalign is the fact that people won’t notice you’re wearing the aligners – unless you tell them! They can be removed when you are eating and drinking, so you won’t have a messy clean up operation after every meal. When you want to brush and floss, you can also keep up this important part of your oral hygiene routine with ease, as you don’t need to wear your aligners while you do this. You can also remove them if you have a particular occasion you don’t want to wear them for, or if you want to take part in sports. We only advise that you try to wear your aligners for around an average of 22 hours a day leaving you plenty of flexibility for the rest of the time.

Invisalign is also a comfortable solution to realigning your teeth. As the aligners are made-to-measure for your specific mouth, they should fit nice and snugly on the gumline and not rub. If you do have any issues, we are more than happy to see you and for the rest of the time, you will be given sets of aligners to change at home on a weekly basis and will only need to come and see us for check-ups every 6 weeks or so, saving you from frequent visits and time off work to do so.

If you have children who also need treatment, Invisalign has a range especially for young people called Invisalign Teen.

So, if you think that Invisalign might be a treatment you’d like to find out more about, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We want you to feel confident about your smile and we’re confident that we can help you.

If you are an adult who has misaligned teeth, it can really impact on your confidence.

Everyday activities like smiling in photographs or attending social gatherings can feel harder, often resulting in a reduction in social outings, which does little to boost confidence.

Of course, many adults believe that the only way to get a straighter smile past the age of 18 is with traditional, or metal braces. Luckily, this is no longer true!

Now in the world of adult orthodontics, there are numerous ways for you to get the straighter smile that you have always wanted, and few of them involve wearing a far-from-discreet metal brace!

When you come to Weybridge Orthodontics, our team will choose the most appropriate aligner for you. We are able to offer our suitable patients the world-renowned Invisalign in Weybridge, which combines the strength of a regular metal brace with the discretion of, well, near-invisibility! What more could you want from a brace?

Want to know more about Invisalign in Weybridge? Read on for our brief, jargon-free guide to this orthodontic option.

What is it?

As you are likely to have guessed, Invisalign in Weybridge is an invisible brace. Well, near enough!

Made from clear plastic, this treatment involves the use of custom-fitted trays to move your teeth from their old positions into newer ones, without exerting force or causing much discomfort. 

How does it work?

As mentioned earlier, this invisible brace uses a set of custom-fitted trays to move your teeth. When you attend your initial consultation, our team will take a 3-D scan of the inside of your mouth and use associated computer imaging to produce a step-by-step guide on how your teeth will move. These images will then be sent to a laboratory, where the trays will be created to support each step of this treatment.

Once your aligner feels loose, you simply pop in the next one!

Does it treat all orthodontic issues?

While this brace is now able to treat a wider variety of misalignments, protrusions and spacing problems, it is unsuitable for more complex orthodontic problems.

If you present with a more challenging orthodontic case, our team at Weybridge Orthodontics may recommend treatment with a fitted clear brace or a traditional one.

Can I take it out?

Yes, you can.

This brace is fully removable and requires no tightening from an orthodontist to work. As it is removable, you can eat, drink or brush your teeth with ease, without needing to worry about food getting stuck in your braces. Just make sure that you put it back in afterwards!

How long will the treatment take?

Although it is removable, this brace works surprisingly quickly.

On average, many patients wear this brace for around 6 months, but this will vary depending on your unique case. It may also be used in a treatment plan with other braces, which usually cuts this time down drastically.

To achieve results, you need to wear it for a minimum of 22 hours each day.

When you are told you qualify for treatment with an invisible brace, it will probably present you with an array of different questions.

Unlike traditional braces, invisible ones are often removable and require specific care in order to keep them invisible and functional. And, unless you know a lot of people who have worn an invisible brace, it is unlikely that you will know how to manage this brace in day-to-day life.

Luckily, our team can help!

At Weybridge Orthodontics, we have a wealth of experience of working with both clear and invisible braces and can provide you with some all-important tips. One of our most popular braces, Invisalign in Weybridge, requires a bit more care than many people assume and so, our team has provided the following guide in jargon-free language.

So, read on to learn more about how to cope with the day-to-day puzzles that treatment with Invisalign in Weybridge may bring!

Wearing time

Our team may have already informed you of this, but in order for Invisalign in Weybridge to work quickly and effectively, you will need to wear it for a bare minimum of 22 hours per day.

While this may sound challenging, this brace is designed to be comfortable to wear, and as it is custom fitted to each stage of treatment, you shouldn’t notice that you are wearing it. This brace is comfortable enough to sleep in!

Small toothbrushes

It is a fact that when you wear braces that slot over your teeth that are also removable, you have to keep your teeth clean, to avoid pressing bacteria against the enamel.

So, while wearing this brace, it is worth investing in a toothbrush to take with you to work, evenings out or any other social function where you will be eating.

Before you put the brace back in, brush your teeth thoroughly to ensure any debris from the food has been removed to avoid decay.

Storage

When you are given this brace by our team at Weybridge Orthodontics, it will come with a plastic carry case.

While it may be oh so tempting to simply put the brace in your bag when you aren’t wearing it, it is vital that you put it back into the carry case. This will protect it from being damaged and will be easier for you to find it if you are prone to forgetfulness! Simple!

Water only!

In the modern world, we should all be drinking more water.

In the hustle and bustle of working life, many people drink more powerful drinks, such as coffee or tea. To avoid staining, when you wear this brace, stick to drinking water. If you can’t resist getting a coffee at lunch, be sure to remove your brace and to brush your teeth afterwards!

Cleaning

How do you clean this brace?

Simple; you run it under a lukewarm tap to remove debris and brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. No mouthwash, no toothpaste and no force, this brace is easy to clean. Perfect!

Pay some attention to your dental wellbeing

Here at Weybridge Orthodontics, we empathise and recognise that a great many of our patients have been affected by the impact of recent global changes that relate to the Covid-19 crisis. All we want, as a quality and trustworthy orthodontist is to provide our unique and individual patients with the level of care which they deserve. We understand that a great many of our patients may have been hesitant or resistant to seeking out orthodontic care such as Invisalign in Weybridge during the recent lockdown measures. However, it is our belief that our numerous patients out there ought not to put their dental and oral needs on the backburner any longer, and ought now to seek out the dental care and support that they deserve.

The importance of straight teeth

Recent global events have caused all of us to pay an even closer amount of attention towards our health and wellbeing. Here at Weybridge Orthodontics it is our principal aim as a practice to ensure that each of our patients is as healthy as they can possibly be. Having teeth which are properly aligned can have an overwhelmingly positive impact on the health of a patient’s teeth and decrease the chance of dental and gum issues developing. Many of our patients here at Weybridge Orthodontics do not necessarily understand how having crooked or poorly aligned teeth can have a negative impact on their oral health, and to what extent treatments such as Invisalign in Weybridge can positively improve their dental health.

Why should I seek out Invisalign in Weybridge?

For many people, the advantages of having straight and healthy looking teeth do not extend beyond the aesthetic. However, there are several health benefits to having a straighter smile, which many patients out there may have overlooked. People who have crooked and badly aligned teeth are far more susceptible to developing preventable gum issues such as gingivitis or periodontal disease. The likelihood of developing such conditions is increased for those who have dental misalignment, as there are more difficult to reach spaces and gaps between their teeth in which pockets of bacteria and plaque can form. These plaque and bacterial deposits can cause a number of issues to develop in a patient’s teeth, including gum disease – which is the current leading cause of permanent tooth loss in adults across the country.

What is Invisalign?

Those who are unaware of what Invisalign is, or how it could potentially be used to benefit their smile, need only call upon the expertise of one of our ‘discreet orthodontics’ specialists here at Weybridge Orthodontics. Whilst conventional and commonplace methods of correcting dental misalignment – such as fused metallic braces – are typically regarded as having a negative impact on a patient’s appearance, treatments such as Invisalign leave almost no trace. This is because the fundamentals of the treatment are completely different from contemporary treatments. The Invisalign system does not align a patient’s teeth though common methodologies, but rather consists completely of a single transparent dental retainer. This retainer is custom moulded to fit over a patient’s teeth perfectly and makes use of pressure points which are built within it to apply force to specific teeth. As these retainers are made to perfectly fit over each patient’s unique dental shape, and they are made from a transparent plastic, they are almost completely undetectable when they are worn.

Here when you need us

Here at Weybridge Orthodontics we recognise that a number of our patients out there have placed their dental needs on hold in light of the recent global pandemic and lockdown restrictions. However, as life slowly but surely begins to return to normal and our practice is resuming the provision of orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign, we urge that anyone who feels they could benefit from having straight and healthy teeth, without making the sacrifices which are commonly associated with invasive orthodontic measures such as contemporary braces, to get in touch.

What are the orthodontic options available for me?

Many of our patients here at Weybridge Orthodontics may remember braces as conventional, fixed metal appliances. These are a proven method of correcting the alignment of crooked teeth, although not a solution which is usually highly regarded as having a positive impact on a patient’s ‘look’ whilst being treated. This reputation has inspired a great many orthodontic engineers to create a number of cosmetic alternative solutions which are designed to amend crooked, overlapping and misaligned teeth – without having a negative impact on how the treatments make patients look.

What is Invisalign in Weybridge?

Invisalign in Weybridge is one such alternative orthodontic treatment to conventional, fused metallic braces. It is a revolutionary treatment which completely redraws the conventions of orthodontics. Rather than align a patient’s teeth using fused brackets and wires, the Invisalign system works entirely through a single plastic, removable retainer. This retainer is made to fit each unique patient’s tooth shape perfectly, as it is constructed from a physical or digital rendering of their dental makeup. As a result, it fits so snugly over their teeth that it almost entirely escapes other people’s notice..

How does Invisalign work?

Unlike most other commonly found methods of dental realignment, the Invisalign system does not require its patients to have anything attached to their teeth to amend crooked or misaligned teeth. Rather, a set of custom moulded retainers are created for each patient using a specially engineered dental plastic material known as SmartTrack. These custom moulded retainers make use of pressure points which are fitted within their interior to apply a targeted amount of force to the specific teeth within a patient’s mouth which have been identified as crooked or out of place. When the patient wears his or her Invisalign retainer, as it is made using a transparent plastic that fits perfectly over their teeth, it is almost impossible to detect when they are wearing it.

How do I go about getting Invisalign treatment?

If you feel that you have teeth which are slightly misaligned, and you would like to align them without going through conventional channels which affect your outward appearance, then simply contact one of our experts here at Weybridge Orthodontics to begin seeking out Invisalign treatment. In doing so, you will effectively begin a path towards a brighter and straighter smile. Typically, those who contact us to seek out Invisalign treatment must first undergo a standard dental assessment to gauge their underlying oral wellbeing and establish if certain issues may stand in the way of treatment. After that, providing they are medically fit enough, their dentist can then begin to take the appropriate measurements which are required to form their unique Invisalign retainer set and begin their path towards straighter teeth though hidden, discreet means.

What is Invisalign and what can it be used for?

Orthodontic conditions are a topic as old as humanity itself. Their severity can range from minor aesthetic issues to serious problems impairing the quality of life. The treatment of these conditions has started to advance mostly in the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Before the 1970s, orthodontic conditions had been mostly treated by using headgears and metal braces. With the invention of dental adhesives in the mid 1970s the usage of metal braces with brackets became possible. This significantly reduced the aesthetic issues associated with earlier forms of braces and it also reduced the amount of discomfort experienced throughout such treatments.

Later developments in the field of medical plastics have brought invisible braces to the markets. These braces have an identical structure and function to metal braces, but they differ in the material they are made out of; the brackets of invisible braces are made out of plastic that has the same colour as the patient’s teeth, and the wires are made out of transparent plastic. This has significantly reduced the visibility of these braces. Later developments include invisible aligners, with the most famous and the first brand being Invisalign in Weybridge. Invisalign and other plastic aligners are ‘moulds’ of a patient’s teeth, which fit perfectly on the dental arches. During these treatments a series of these aligners are made as the treatment progresses, to achieve optimal results incrementally.

If you think you would benefit from some type of invisible aligner, such as Invisalign in Weybridge, do not hesitate to contact our dental practice, Weybridge Orthodontics in Surrey, to book yourself a consultation session, where we evaluate your orthodontic condition and help you in choosing the best possible treatment option.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

One of the most obvious benefits of Invisalign in Weybridge is the near invisibility of the plastic aligners. They fit perfectly on your teeth, and they are very hard to notice – unless you mention that you use them. These aligners are removable, which means that you can clean them and brush your teeth without the need of specific toothbrushes required when using traditional braces. Certain types of foods and beverages are known to have remarkable staining capabilities. These include for example coffee, red wine and some fruits as well. If you remove the aligners before consuming any of these you can easily prevent the staining of the aligners. However, it is important to note that they must be worn at least 22 hours a day to achieve the best results.

What are the disadvantages of Invisalign?

As with every type of treatment there are some important disadvantages to consider as well. Invisalign and other invisible aligners are not suitable for every type of orthodontic condition. Severe malocclusions and large gaps between teeth require traditional braces, as Invisalign cannot fit the tooth that must be realigned in these cases. People with very round or small teeth are also not suitable candidates for treatment by Invisalign, as the aligners in these cases cannot get the necessary grip on the teeth. Some patients would also consider the removable nature of these aligners a disadvantage rather than a feature. If you think you are the type of person who cannot always remember to wear these, you should consider an alternative option – there are plenty of them. Invisible aligners require significant patient commitment. Contact our dental practice to find out more about Invisalign and its alternatives.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative treatment solution for the treatment of orthodontic conditions. Orthodontic conditions are very widespread and can range in severity from minor aesthetic issues to conditions impairing one’s ability to speak or eat properly and thus having a great impact on the quality of life. Many people who require orthodontic treatment often do not seek it due to aesthetic concerns. This was a significant driving force for research and development of orthodontic treatments and resulted in the invention of invisible aligners, the first and most widely known brand of which is Invisalign. Invisible aligners are plastic ‘moulds’ of a patient’s dental arches, which perfectly fit on them. They are made out of a transparent plastic, which makes them incredibly hard to notice. If you are interested in getting Invisalign in Weybridge, contact our dental practice, Weybridge Orthodontics in Surrey to gain more information about them, and to find out whether they are suitable for you in our consultation session.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Probably the most obvious benefit of Invisalign in Weybridge compared to other orthodontic treatments is the invisibility of it. The plastic material the aligners are made out of is transparent, therefore you do not need to worry about someone noticing them, unless you tell them! Another important benefit is the reduced feeling of discomfort. As it is made out of plastic, you will not feel any metallic ‘background’ taste as some do with traditional metal braces with brackets. It will also not irritate you in the sense sharp metallic objects could; the surface of the aligners is smooth, and given their perfect fit on your dental arches they blend into your mouth to the point they are almost unnoticeable. The aligners can be removed and cleaned. This is especially important if you tend to consume drinks or food that could stain the aligners, such as coffee, tea or red wine. They allow you to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine due to their removability.

Are there any disadvantages of getting Invisalign?

As it is with most treatments, no treatment is perfect for every individual. This is true for Invisalign as well. Some conditions and natural characteristics rule out the possibility of getting invisible aligners. One of these is having certain teeth shapes, such as very round or small teeth. If you already have some dental works, such as crowns, bridges or dental implants, invisible aligners may also not be suitable for you.

How does an Invisalign treatment work?

First you need to book a consultation session in our dental clinic, where we evaluate your condition and help you determine whether Invisalign  in Weybridge is the best option for you. This is followed by taking a 3D image of your oral cavity, which helps us in designing your custom made aligners. Once this is done, the aligners are manufactured. A series of them must be worn for a defined period of time. You must wear the aligners for at least 22 hours each day, therefore Invisible aligners require significant commitment on your side. If you think this is not ideal for you, there are always other options, and we would be happy to help you in finding the best alternative for you.

Nowadays, there are a large number of different orthodontic treatments that can be used to address different oral conditions. Because of this large number of treatments, it can be easy for people to potentially become confused about which treatments they may need or which can benefit them. For that reason, it can be a good idea to know more about different orthodontic treatments, and in particular about some of the more new and revolutionary treatments, such as Invisalign in Weybridge.

This is a treatment that can provide great, effective results for you if your teeth are misaligned.

Invisalign

Invisalign in Weybridge is an exciting treatment which can adjust the position of misaligned teeth to gradually shift them into a more favourable position over time. One of the reasons why this treatment is as popular as it is is because it is able to shift the teeth whilst being virtually undetectable to any outside observer. This is because Invisalign uses a set of clear aligners that are worn over the teeth in order to achieve its results.

These aligners are given to the patient in a set. This means that a patient wears the aligner for a given period of time (usually about two weeks) before switching it out for the next aligner in the set. The multiple aligners are what allow Invisalign to keep shifting the position of the teeth. Furthermore, this also means that it is relatively easy to remove the aligners for activities such as eating or drinking.

Other treatment

Another treatment which you may wish to consider is a mouthguard. A mouthguard is somewhat similar to Invisalign in that it covers the surface of the teeth, however, it is more designed to prevent damage being done to them whilst playing sports. There is also a ‘Twin-block’ treatment, which is often aimed at teenagers. This treatment is designed to realign the jaw, and it is useful for ensuring that top teeth are the ideal length in front of bottom teeth (2 – 4mm).

There are many advantages to having a set of full, straight teeth in your mouth. Not only are there cosmetic benefits to having straight teeth, but it can also be beneficial for your overall oral health to have straight teeth as it can make activities such as eating and chewing easier. Whilst some people are blessed with perfectly straight teeth for the entirety of their lives, many of us aren’t quite so fortunate. This doesn’t mean that we can’t have straighter teeth; far from it. There are, in fact, many different orthodontic treatments that can be used to gradually shift our teeth into a straighter and healthier position over time.

One of the most exciting and interesting types of these teeth straightening treatments is Invisalign in Weybridge. There are a lot of advantages to Invisalign in Weybridge, as not only can it adjust the position of a patient’s teeth, it can also do this whilst being practically undetectable to the outside observer. However, you may be wondering about what Invisalign in Weybridge actually is, and how it works. In this article, we’ll take a look at those questions, and demonstrate why Invisalign in Weybridge could be a treatment that is worth your time.

Another important thing to think about when thinking about this, or in fact any orthodontic treatment is which dental clinic can offer you this treatment in a professional way which delivers the results you are looking for. One place that can offer you this that you may wish to consider is Weybridge Orthodontics.

Here at Weybridge Orthodontics, we have a record of treating over 21,000 satisfied patients and we put this record down to our belief that the patient always comes first. Indeed, all of our orthodontic practices are carefully designed to make a patient as comfortable as possible and we always make sure to guide you through different treatment options in a friendly and unpressured environment. Because of this, you can be sure that here at Weybridge Orthodontics you will receive great treatment that puts you first.

Invisalign and how it works

If you are looking for a treatment that can straighten your teeth whilst fitting around your day to day life, then Invisalign may be the treatment for you. This is because it is a treatment that is specifically designed to be discreet. It manages to be discreet by providing you with a set of clear plastic aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth. In fact, the aligners can fit comfortably over any set of teeth, regardless of how different these teeth may be from someone else’s. This is because each Invisalign aligner is specifically designed for an individual patient’s teeth, sometimes using a mould or computer imagery to make sure that the aligners will fit as intended.

It is also worth pointing out that these aligners come in a set. This is so the patient can wear one of the aligners for a period of time – often approximately two weeks – before switching that aligner out for the next aligner in the set. This allows the aligners to gradually shift the position of the patient’s teeth so that they end up overall straighter over time.
