What is Invisalign?

Invisalign consists of clear aligner trays, which are custom made for each individual. Many patients may believe that ‘Invisalign’ is the official treatment name of the transparent aligners themselves, however they are just one brand provider of the orthodontic treatment. At our clinic within Weybridge, we have experienced a recent upsurge in popularity of clear aligners, one of the reasons being due to their invisible appearance.

How do Invisalign produce effective results?

Invisalign uses a custom made dental impression, in order to create the plastic trays. Once our clinic has received our patient’s aligners, the treatment can begin! During the treatment itself, our patient should expect to replace the aligners every few weeks, slowly straightening the teeth, and therefore producing a happier smile!

What are orthodontics in Weybridge?

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that aims to realign, and consequently straighten the teeth within the mouth. Aside from the functional improvements, orthodontics can also lead to a healthier mouth overall. Many individuals may think of traditional metal braces when orthodontics come to mind, however within the modern field of dentistry there are many more subtle dental alternatives.

How do traditional metal braces work?

Traditional metal braces are commonly referred to as ‘train tracks’ and might be considered as unsightly in comparison to the subtle orthodontics in Weybridge we provide. Traditional metal braces use metal brackets and wires in order to apply pressure on the teeth, to result in them reaching the desired position. Despite all braces aiming for the same results, they all do so in varying ways, their appearance could be considered as the largest difference.

The discreet alternatives we offer

Our clinic never compromises on the quality and quantity of our dentistry, this is why we offer various types of braces to suit each individual’s circumstances, Incognito, Invisalign, and Clarity, just to name a few! Invisalign could be argued as one of the more popular dental treatments we offer at our clinic, producing effective, and long-lasting dental results.

What is Invisalign?

How does Invisalign in Weybridge compare to traditional metal braces?

Invisalign is the largest and the most popular brand provider of clear aligners worldwide, and the brand we happen to use at our clinic in Weybridge. Invisalign are essentially clear aligner trays which are made of transparent plastic, they aim to straighten moderate overcrowding as well as other alignment issues within the mouth. Clear aligners have risen greatly in popularity within recent years, due to their subtle appearance, and effective long-lasting dental results. In terms of comparison, both forms of orthodontics strive for the same results, however they both do so in varying ways.

Traditional metal braces

Traditional metal braces use metal wires and brackets, in order to apply pressure on the teeth. Metal braces are often referred to as ‘train tracks’ and may be more suitable for patients who are suffering from severe overbites or underbites. Despite both forms aiming to straighten the teeth, their appearance differs greatly. Traditional metal braces could be considered as ‘unsightly’ by some, which is why we aim to promote variety.

A discreet alternative

Invisalign in Weybridge is able to produce the same effective dental results as traditional metal braces, without the hindrance of obvious dental work. Aside from their invisible aesthetic appearance, clear aligners are extremely easy to care for. Clear aligners can be removed to clean, and eat, meaning they are a perfect fit for patients with a busy lifestyle.

How do clear aligners work?

Despite their rising popularity, many of our patients may be unsure of how Invisalign actually works! The clear aligner trays are replaced every couple of weeks, in order to slowly encourage the teeth to move into a straighter position.

Our clinic is lucky enough to embrace modern forms of dental technology, one example of which is known as ‘ClinCheck’. ClinCheck is a modern three dimensional scanning system which creates impressions of the teeth, as well as a 3D estimation of a patient’s desired dental results.

Why we use ClinCheck

ClinCheck is an excellent way to estimate the exact number of trays required, which can cut down the amount of dental visits required during the treatment process. Reducing the number of dental visits not only allows the treatment to run smoothly, but can also cut financial costs for our patients.

How long does Invisalign in Weybridge take to produce results?

As a simple answer, it depends on the individual. Treatment time can vary massively depending on the severity of an individual’s case, however as a general rule Invisalign can take from around twelve to eighteen months to produce results. In more severe cases, clear aligners may be worn for up to thirty months, although this is not common practice.

How much does Invisalign cost?

It is always hard to apply a general rule, as all dental cases may differ greatly. Our practice will endeavour to give a good estimate of costs involved on dental examination, as the period of treatment can vary according to the complexity of a patient’s dental condition.,

Spread the cost

Many patients receiving private dental care may be put off by the idea of a large upfront dental bill, which is why we strive to ease their concerns. Our dental clinic not only offers 0% interest finance payment plans spread over twelve months, but we also give our patients the chance to pay off their treatment over several years.

Have you considered using Incognito braces in Weybridge?

With braces, you can achieve your lifelong dream of having straight teeth. However, even though archetypal braces have evolved, people are hesitant about the possibility of wearing a straightening aid.

While adult braces are socially acceptable, many do not like the idea of having metal glued to their front teeth for the world to see.

If you are looking for an alternative device, have you considered Incognito in Weybridge? Contact us today at Weybridge Orthodontics, to learn more.

What is Incognito in Weybridge?

Incognito braces are aptly named because the device is positioned behind your teeth and out of plain sight.

They are made in a similar way to ordinary braces, using metal brackets and wire; only the placement is different.

Why choose Incognito in Weybridge?

Incognito or lingual (meaning toward the tongue) braces are custom-fabricated to fit the shape of your teeth exactly.

We also use 3D technology that helps to accurately map out your treatment and provide you with results that will not leave you feeling disappointed.

Will I have to change my lifestyle with Incognito in Weybridge?

Braces can change the way your teeth look monumentally, but when you wear them, you may get frustrated by the sacrifices that you have to make.

With lingual braces, these will not be issues that you face, and for the most part, you can carry on with your life as usual. At the same time, you will not have to worry about discolouration or white spots when your braces come off.

However, one thing to make a note of is that cleaning grit out of the back of your teeth can get tricky, so be sure to invest in some high-quality floss.

Is there anything else about lingual braces that I should know about?

Lingual braces do come with a set of limitations, especially if you have a severe overbite. A severe malocclusion will exert a lot of pressure on the device, causing it to detach easily. In these instances, our orthodontist will direct you toward a more suitable method.

You may also struggle to speak properly initially and develop a temporary lisp. However, once your teeth adjust to the foreign device in your mouth, it should go away over time.

As with conventional braces, there are types of food that you cannot eat because of how they might react with your device. For example, you should stay away from hard or crunchy food. If you do not want to limit your diet, Invisalign is a viable alternative.

Last but not least, despite being made to fit your mouth, the device has been reported by many as uncomfortable. While you may get used to the device, some people experience low-level discomfort throughout the experiences of wearing braces due to their tongue being in constant contact with metal.

Exploring the alternatives

If an Incognito device is not for you, Invisalign is another commonly used orthodontic aid that renders positive results and lots of happy smiles.

As with Incognito braces, the device, made from clear plastic, is not detectable to the untrained eye.

Traditional metal braces may be more commonly thought of when ‘orthodontics’ comes to mind, however at our clinic we provide our patients with a wide array of more modern,and therefore discreet alternatives. Traditional metal braces use metal brackets and wires in order to place pressure on the teeth to encourage realignment. Invisalign differs by using clear plastic trays to slowly readjust the position of the teeth in order to reach their desired position.

Appearance

Although both traditional metal braces and Invisalign in Weybridge may eventually produce similar results, the appearance of them differs greatly.

During the process of traditional braces, many appointments may have to be scheduled in order to change bands, wires, and tighten the braces.

Once our patients have decided to proceed with treatment, they can settle a deposit, and then decide to repay their costs over an eighteen or twenty-four month time frame.

Are Invisalign available on the National Health Service?

The discreet nature of Invisalign unfortunately puts them within the category of cosmetic dentistry, which means they are only available under private dentistry. As a general rule, the cost of all dentistry (whether this be cosmetic or orthodontic) depends greatly on the complexity of the individual case.

Flexibility

We understand that financial flexibility can be hard to find, in any scenario, which is why we offer our patients a repayment calculator. Our repayment calculator allows our patients to select the type of brace they wish to receive, the deposit the wish to put down, as well as the period of time they wish to pay the fees back.

The Invisalign in Weybridge treatment process

Much like with any dental, orthodontic, or cosmetic treatment, Invisalign begins with an initial consultation. During an initial consultation our dentists will work with you to help decide if Invisalign suits your needs. After we’ve decided that clear aligners fit your specific dental case, the treatment process can begin!

The first step

The first step is to scan your teeth using a three dimensional digital scanner, which illustrates each movement of the teeth throughout the Invisalign process. The Clincheck technology we use allows our patients to view the possible results which can be achieved through the use of Invisalign. In addition to our smile predictions, we can also tell our patients how many clear aligner trays are required during the process (which ensures they are always aware of the cost of treatment before it starts).

What’s next?

After an initial assessment is made and we have made digital scans of your teeth and mouth, we can send your moulds to Invisalign! After receiving your first set of transparent trays, your teeth can start to move into the ideal position. Once treatment commences, Invisalign has the advantage of a reduced number of dental appointments (compared to traditional metal braces which require wire tightening), which also reduces financial costs.

The final step

Once your clear aligners have been sent back to our clinic by Invisalign, our patients will settle the necessary deposit to proceed with treatment. Once the deposit has been settled, our patients can pay the remainder of the dental fee over eighteen to twenty-four months with a zero interest payment plan.
