How is Invisalign Different from Other Braces?

Wednesday, May 4th, 2016

header_image4Invisalign is a modern and discrete braces innovation designed to treat mild orthodontic conditions such as crooked, protruding, irregular spaced or overcrowded teeth. Producing scientifically proven, teeth-enhancing results for thousands of people all over the world since 1997, Align Technology Inc. have produced this modern braces system with the holistic care of diverse individuals in mind.

The Invisalign system differs from other braces in:

  • Custom-made orthodontic technology
  • Choices in Invisalign systems
  • Unique teeth-straightening function
  • Near-invisible aesthetics
  • Removable design
  • Convenience and comfort
  • Effective treatment time
  • Smile-enhancing results

Bespoke Invisalign technology creates individual 3D images and care plans. The Invisalign system comprises sets of custom-made clear removable aligners that gently straighten teeth in orthodontic stages. Every two weeks the invisible aligners are replaced to further position teeth into their correct alignment.

The benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic resin, looking like a transparent mouth shield that elegantly fits over a full arch of teeth.

Invisalign is easily removed for eating, sports, music and cleaning activities. Speaking and eating function is not impeded by Invisalign braces and oral hygiene can easily be maintained during treatment. Invisalign custom-moulds to an individual’s oral contours for the utmost comfort and convenience during daily activities.

The Invisalign system is the number one choice as an alternative to uncomfortable traditional braces systems. Individuals wear Invisalign braces for approximately 22 hours per day. Within 12 to 18 months, individuals enjoy their newly aligned teeth after treatment. A retainer may be provided for temporary enforcement of new teeth position. Invisalign transforms the smile for greater confidence and attraction.

Invisalign – a Discreet Brace System

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015

header_image4Invisalign braces are removable, clear aligners that are used as an invisible alternative to braces made of metal. They are suitable for all people of all ages, and work to straighten and correct teeth in the same way as metal braces.

Invisalign is the perfect solution for those who feel their smile needs adjusting or improving. The technique used for Invisalign is also used to successfully treat overly spaced or overcrowded teeth. Invisalign braces can also help with crossbites, overbites and underbites.

Benefits of Invisalign braces:

  • They can be removed, allowing you to floss, eat and drink normally, as well as take them out for a special occasion
  • You will have an improved smile even before the treatment is complete
  • The braces are comfortable and will not irritate your cheeks or gums due to their smooth edges
  • They are totally clear and practically invisible, so no-one needs to know that you are undergoing treatment

Treatment is made up of 4 stages:

  • The first appointment at City Dental Leeds will involve discussion of problems with your smile, in terms of both aesthetics and function. You will also be asked what results you are hoping for. Once it has been established that Invisalign is right for you, your treatment can be planned.
  • Photos and impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to Invisalign so that they can create 3D images of your treatment. This will allow the dentist to see what your teeth will look like at all stages of the process, as well as allowing you to get a glimpse of what the final result will be.
  • Aligners to be worn at each stage in the treatment will be created and customised using state-of-the-art technology. Usually between 20 and 30 aligners for each arch will be required during treatment, although this will vary for each patient.
  • Aligners must be worn at all times, apart from while you are eating and drinking. This is necessary for treatment to be completed in the time frame determined at the start. You will need to attend check-ups so that your progress can be monitored and your aligners swapped. You will be able to observe your teeth gradually shifting into the correct position throughout the treatment, leaving you with a smile you can be proud of.

Brilliant Braces for Every Orthodontic Issue

Friday, July 3rd, 2015

header_image4If you’re one of the many people who have orthodontic issues, we have brilliant braces to suit you. Very few people are blessed with naturally perfect teeth, but if you have crooked, twisted or crowded teeth, we can provide the ideal remedy to give you a flawless smile.

Our treatments

We offer a diverse range of orthodontic treatments that cater for a whole host of issues, from crooked and crowded teeth to issues that affect the bite and gaps between the teeth. We have options to suit every patient, from those who need intensive movement, to those who just require minor correction. We have fixed and removable braces on offer, as well as those that offer amazing perks such as invisible aesthetics and speedy results.

Here are some examples of our outstanding orthodontic treatments:

  • Inman Aligner: a rapid solution for patients with minor issues that involve the front teeth, this removable brace offers flexibility, discreet aesthetics and incredible results in just 16 weeks.
  • Invisalign: this clear brace system is a perfect choice for patients who would prefer their treatment to remain a secret. Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners, which are made from transparent plastic, to guide the teeth into position. The aligners are light and comfortable and you can take them out when you eat and clean your teeth for added convenience.
  • Lingual braces: STb Social 6 braces are the ultimate solution for those who wish to remain incognito during the treatment stage. These fixed braces, which target issues with the front teeth (the social 6), are fixed to the back of the teeth, so they cannot be seen when you smile. This treatment also offers incredibly short treatment times, with most cases complete within four months.
  • Damon Braces: Damon Braces are advanced fixed braces and offer a great alternative to traditional fixed braces for patients who require intensive treatment and a considerable amount of movement. These braces use self-ligating technology and sliding brackets to minimise treatment time and discomfort. They work around four to six months faster than traditional fixed braces and they are also more discreet.
  • Six Month Smiles: this discreet, swift fixed brace solution is an excellent choice for those who don’t want to hang around for results. In just six months, these braces straighten out issues that affect the front teeth using the latest technology to minimise discomfort.

If you’re interested in orthodontic treatment and you’d like to find out more, why not give us a call and book a consultation? Our dentists will be happy to guide you through the different options and explain exactly how they work and what kinds of benefits they could offer you.

Innovative Invisalign Treatment For Easy-Peasy Teeth Straightening

Wednesday, November 12th, 2014

3170978_blogInvisalign braces can help you to achieve a flawless smile with no hassle or worries at all. This innovative clear brace system straightens the teeth with minimal impact on your normal daily routine and your looks, making it a popular option for patients of all ages.

About Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment, which offers a different spin on traditional orthodontics. This treatment uses a series of specially designed clear plastic aligners to straighten the teeth. These aligners sit on your teeth and they are completely invisible to others, so you don’t need to worry about looking different or suffering a crisis of confidence when you meet new people, go on dates or walk into an important meeting.

With Invisalign, patients really can go through the treatment process without any stress, as the aligners are removable; this means that you can brush your teeth as normal and enjoy eating without any concerns about breaking your brace or getting bits of food stuck in the wires.

What’s so special about Invisalign?

Over the years, orthodontic patients have encountered problems and Invisalign seems to provide solutions to many of these issues. The aligners are clear, which means that they don’t have any impact on your looks or your confidence and you can take them to enable you to enjoy life as normal. Invisalign aligners are also made from plastic and each one is individually customised, so you can enjoy amazing levels of comfort; there are no painful metal bands and you won’t need to have your braces adjusted or tightened.

Invisalign is also suitable for a wide range of patients, including adults and teenagers, and it produces incredible results. The treatment process is also simple; once you receive your custom-designed aligners, you simply wear them in the specified order. Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and you take them out to eat and clean your teeth; it’s important to ensure the braces are in place for at least 21 hours per day.

To find out if Invisalign could be the perfect match for you, call us now!

Thursday, March 27th, 2014

4865112_blogAre you searching for a discreet, comfortable orthodontic treatment? Have you been waiting for a more appealing alternative to traditional fixed braces? If so, the wait is over! Allow us to introduce you to Invisalign.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment with a difference! Unlike traditional treatments, this system uses a series of bespoke removable aligners to move the teeth, creating a beautiful smile. The aligners are made from transparent plastic and they are worn in a set order with each one in position for two weeks. Invisalign aligners are removable and they should be taken out when you clean your teeth and eat. As well as making these actions easier, it also means that it is very simple to keep you’re aligners clean. The braces are also very comfortable and they don’t need to be adjusted, which is usually quite painful for patients who have fixed braces.

Invisalign is a treatment that is suitable for most patients and ideal for those who would prefer a more discreet treatment. The aligners are virtually invisible, which means that you can go through treatment without worrying about how you look or battling comments from other people.

If you have crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth and you’re desperate to find a solution, which doesn’t involve wearing highly visible braces for months on end, this could be the perfect option for you.
