Invisalign Braces

Invisalign in Orpington

Straighten Your Smile with Clear, Removable Aligners

If you’d like straighter teeth without the appearance of traditional braces, Invisalign may be the solution you’re looking for. Using a series of custom-made clear aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into their planned positions while fitting comfortably into your daily routine.

Your Invisalign Consultation

Every Invisalign journey begins with a detailed assessment. If Invisalign is suitable, we'll explain the expected treatment process and answer any questions you may have before treatment begins.

A Modern Alternative to Traditional Braces

Many adults and teenagers would like to improve the alignment of their teeth but prefer a more discreet option than fixed metal braces.

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth. Each aligner is worn for a period before progressing to the next in the series, allowing your teeth to move gradually according to your personalised treatment plan.

Because the aligners are transparent, they’re designed to be much less noticeable during everyday activities such as work, social occasions and photographs.

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Depending on your individual needs, Invisalign may be suitable for correcting a range of orthodontic concerns, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Mild to moderate crooked teeth
  • Some bite irregularities
  • Relapse following previous orthodontic treatment

During your consultation, we’ll assess your teeth and bite before discussing whether Invisalign is an appropriate option for your smile.

Steps

The Invisalign Process

1
Consultation & Smile Assessment

We’ll examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals and determine whether Invisalign is the right orthodontic treatment for your needs. Your personalised treatment plan will be explained in detail.

2
Custom Treatment Planning

Digital scans or impressions are taken to create a series of custom-made Invisalign aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into their planned positions.

3
Wearing Your Aligners

You’ll wear each set of aligners for the recommended amount of time, changing to the next set as instructed. Regular review appointments allow us to monitor your progress throughout treatment.

4
Enjoying and Maintaining Your New Smile

Once your treatment is complete, retainers are typically recommended to help maintain your new smile and keep your teeth in their corrected positions.

To achieve the best possible results, it’s important to wear your aligners for the recommended number of hours each day.
