Invisalign is a removable brace system that uses a series of custom-moulded aligners to move your teeth. The great thing about Invisalign is that the aligners are transparent and invisible (no metal bands or wires), therefore nobody is going to realise that you are undergoing treatment – unless you tell them!
Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and children. Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to project tooth movement, Invisalign allows you to visualise your treatment from start to finish through animated visuals, which can be viewed online.
Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It is successful in treating crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, overjets, under bites and even cross bites. In fact, your orthodontist can use Invisalign clear aligners in all or part of many treatment plans.
There are a number of options under the Invisalign system depending on the complexity of your situation. Dr Trishan Malhi will be able to advise you of the best treatment after your first consultation.
If your case is too complex for Invisalign i7 you may be suitable for Invisalign Lite, which aims to treat simple to moderate cases in approximately 7 months. Invisalign Lite bridges the gap between Invisalign i7 and Invisalign Full.
SmileView is a fantastic tool which can be used to show our patients how they might benefit from Invisalign.
Just visit our Smileview web page in your browser and you’ll be prompted to take a smiling selfie. Your selfie will be uploaded automatically and in less than 60 seconds,you will be presented with an image of your smile after the Invisalign treatment.
The Invisalign Smileview app works from a database of over six million Invisalign cases to predict the proper tooth movements that you would likely experience during an Invisalign case. Unlike other smile simulation tools, Smileview maintains the shape and shade of your teeth as it mo ves them – it isn’t just ‘pasting’ a fake smile on your mouth. It will also simulate a subtle amount of teeth whitening if required.
