Invisalign is one of the most popular alternatives to traditional metal braces for patients who want straighter teeth. At Surrey Braces, Weybridge, it is just one of the many discreet orthodontics options available.

How Invisalign differs from standard braces

The Invisalign system has been designed with both discretion and convenience at its heart. Many patients tell their dentist or orthodontist that they would love to straighten their teeth, but have no desire to wear standard braces because they are very obvious and not always compatible with a professional adult’s lifestyle.

At our Weybridge dental and orthodontic practice we fully empathise with this predicament, while also knowing the benefits orthodontic treatment can have on your self-esteem, dental and general health.

We believe that our patients should have access to the most reliable and effective solutions to their dental health concerns, and have found that Invisalign is an excellent option in many cases.

Invisalign is a series of clear aligners that fit comfortably over the teeth and gradually move them into an improved position. Unlike traditional braces, the aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink, to clean, and to brush your teeth. This, combined with their near invisibility, means that they have minimal impact on your lifestyle, as well as making maintaining good dental hygiene during treatment as easy as brushing your teeth, with no need for specialist techniques to clean around your braces.

How treatment works

We welcome patients from Weybridge and beyond for Invisalign treatment. If your orthodontist agrees this is the best option for you, they will take impressions of your teeth so that your bespoke set of aligners can be created.

You will be given a series of aligners, which you change every few weeks as your teeth move. The exact number of aligners will be discussed at your initial consultation.

Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most popular ways for teenagers and adults to straighten their teeth. They are just one of the discreet orthodontic devices offered by Surrey Braces in Weybridge, and can correct mild to moderate issues with the alignment of teeth.

More options than braces

Think orthodontics, and most people still picture traditional metal wire and bracket braces. Whilst these remain one of the most effective ways to correct problems with the alignment of teeth and with the bite (how the jaws meet together), and whilst they are still popular with teenagers thanks to the customisation options now available, at our Weybridge dental centre we appreciate that they do not always sit comfortably with a professional adult’s lifestyle.

There have been many great advances in the field of orthodontics in the past few decades, with discreet orthodontics one of the fastest growing areas of modern dentistry. We are proud to offer a number of discreet choices at our Weybridge dental clinic, with something to suit all needs. Invisalign is one of the most popular options, because as well as being discreet it fits around your lifestyle.

How it works

Invisalign comprises a series of removable clear aligners that fit snuggly over your teeth and gently guide them into a new position. When you come into our Weybridge clinic for a consultation, your dentist or orthodontist will carefully examine you and will find out what you want to achieve from treatment, to establish whether these aligners are the most appropriate treatment option for you.

Thanks to the latest computer software, your Invisalign provider will be able to show you exactly what results you can expect from treatment, with the aid of impressions, photographs and 3D modelling.

The exact number of aligners varies from patient to patient and will be established when you come into our Weybridge practice for your initial consultation. You will need to change your aligner every couple of weeks as advised by your orthodontist.

At Surrey Braces in Weybridge, Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most popular methods for patients to straighten their teeth. There is increasing demand for ways to correct tooth alignment problems without the whole world knowing about it. Depending on your individual needs, in many cases Invisalign could be the best option.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a system of clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them into a better position. Each set of aligners is custom-made following a detailed consultation at our Weybridge dental practice, so you can be sure that your aligners will fit your teeth perfectly.

Before starting treatment, your dentist will take a series of impressions and photographs and, with the aid of our state-of-the-art computer software, they will be able to show you what results you can expect.

Every patient’s needs will be slightly different, so the number of aligners you will require, and the length of your treatment, will depend on your individual circumstances. Your dentist or orthodontist will be able to advise you of this at the start of treatment.

As your teeth begin to move, you will need to change your aligner every two weeks or so. You will also need to come in for a check-up every few weeks at our Weybridge clinic so that we can check your treatment is progressing as planned. At the end of treatment, you will need to wear a retainer.

What are the advantages of treatment with Invisalign?

The most obvious advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners are clear, meaning that nobody will notice them in everyday life and no-one need know you are having treatment unless you choose to tell them.

Another big advantage is that the aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink, to clean, and to brush your teeth.

Invisalign clear aligners are a popular alternative to wearing fixed braces for patients of all ages. They are just one of the discreet orthodontic options available at Weybridge’s Surrey Braces, and we are certain that whatever your treatment requirements, we will find the perfect appliance to straighten your teeth without anyone needing to know about it – unless you choose to tell them.

What is Invisalign used for?

Invisalign can be used to treat a number of mild to moderate orthodontic problems, including crooked, crowded, and poorly aligned teeth. Treatment times will vary depending on the type and amount of correction that is required, and will be discussed by your orthodontist when first you come into our Weybridge dental practice for your consultation.

How the treatment process works

Every set of Invisalign aligners is custom-made to suit each patient’s individual needs, and to fit snuggly over their teeth. The aligners gently guide your teeth into a new position, and you will need to change your aligner every two weeks or so as your teeth begin to move – as often as your dentist or orthodontist advises.

The number of aligners required to complete treatment varies from patient to patient. When you come to our Weybridge dental practice for your initial Invisalign consultation, you will be advised of how many aligners you will need.

Your consultation

We welcome both teenagers and adults for an Invisalign consultation at our Weybridge practice. You will be carefully examined and assessed to ensure this is the best treatment option for you. Impressions will be taken of your teeth and, with the aid of photographs and advanced computer software, your practitioner will be able to show you the expected results from the outset.

If you opt to go ahead with treatment, your aligners will be made up and when they are ready you will be called back to our Weybridge practice to start treatment.

Many go for Invisalign treatment to look good rather than have better dental health. While looking and feeling good are obvious advantages of the treatment, there is more to Invisalign than meets the eye.

Comfort is another plus factor for Invisalign, as you can be assured that the treatment won’t cause you any discomfort. But, did you know that it can also improve your overall oral health? Our Invisalign treatments give you aligners which are made only for your teeth. The aligners follow your teeth’s changing positions, making sure they gradually align to the prescribed position. We all know that straight teeth help improve dental health. But, using the right treatment allows you to keep your mouth healthy while straightening your teeth.

Invisalign Aligners are Easy to Clean

Invisalign braces are clipped to the teeth, and they are removable. When eating or drinking, you can do without the mouthpiece and not worry about food staining the trays. Cleaning them is a lot like cleaning your own teeth. You just brush them and put them in lukewarm water to kill bacteria. Some dentists recommend Invisalign cleaning system, which only takes a few minutes to remove plaque and bacteria from aligners.

Invisalign Lets You Clean Your Teeth Thoroughly

Invisalign braces are removable. That means you can brush and floss like you normally do, since they do not keep you from doing so. During orthodontic cleaning, teeth and gums are not hard to reach. Thus, they are cleaned better. Oral problems such as gingivitis and loose teeth are caused by bacteria and plaque build up. Wearing metal braces may cause them to worsen, as it is difficult to brush thoroughly with braces. Clearly, this is not the case with Invisalign.

Invisalign Helps Prevent Periodontal Problems

The root cause of periodontal diseases is improper dental hygiene. Gum problems from plaque build up may cause teeth to rot and fall out, and gums to bleed. Invisalign lets you take proper care of both your aligners and your teeth, preventing you from having oral diseases.

Crooked teeth also cause serious dental problems, all because they are impossible to clean thoroughly. Invisalign gives you straight and easy-to-clean teeth.

Healthy oral condition comes from proper hygiene and tooth position. Invisalign enables you to have both. Considering Invisalign treatment? Here at Surrey Braces Ltd., we offer Invisalign treatment in Weybridge. You may contact us for inquiries and more details.
