Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most popular ways for patients to straighten their teeth here at Weybridge Orthodontics. The system has several advantages: the aligners are almost invisible, meaning few people will notice you are wearing them. There is no metal in the aligners and no tightening involved in treatment, maximising comfort levels. The aligners are also removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink, to brush your teeth and to clean.
Is Invisalign the right treatment for me?
The Invisalign system can be used to treat a range of orthodontic conditions. If you are interested in this treatment, you should book a consultation with one of our experienced orthodontists here at our Weybridge clinic. They will carefully examine your mouth to learn more about your dental situation, and will establish whether you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.
Step by step
If your orthodontist decides Invisalign will work well for you, they will start the initial phases of treatment.
Step 1
Your orthodontist will first take impressions of your teeth, and will send these to the Invisalign laboratory in the USA.
Step 2
You will be called back to our Weybridge clinic approximately three weeks later. This is for a clinical check. Using special software your orthodontist will demonstrate a virtual 3D treatment plan, enabling you to see how your teeth are expected to move during treatment, and what the end results will be.
Step 3
So long as you are happy with the clinical check results, you will be asked for a deposit and your Invisalign aligners will be manufactured. Weybridge Orthodontics offers payment plans of between 18 and 24 months, enabling you to spread the cost of treatment.
Step 4
When your aligners are ready, you’ll be called back to our Weybridge practice and your first aligner will be fitted. You should change aligners approximately every two weeks, and will have periodic check-ups during treatment.
