Invisalign®

Discover the power of an Invisalign® smile!

Invisalign® clear aligners straighten teeth more predictably and comfortably than other aligners and braces.

What is Invisalign® treatment?

Invisalign® treatment allows you to transform your smile discreetly and comfortably with virtually-invisible, removable braces.

Invisalign® aligners are completely transparent and custom made to gradually straighten your teeth without using any metal wires or brackets. Your aligners can discreetly correct several different orthodontic issues to give you a balanced, even smile .

The aligners look like clear, flexible retainers and are removable, so you can take them out when eating or brushing your teeth.

If you’re considering braces to straighten your teeth, this is the best discreet option for you.

Visit your dentist at The Cottage Dental Practice

This will include a free consultation to see if the treatment will be suitable for you.

Information gathering

The dentist will take bite impressions of your teeth, along with x-rays and photographs, and send them to Invisalign®.

Making your aligners

We will then contact you to review the treatment plan and view a 3D simulation of the teeth movements.

3D imaging technology is used to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There may be as many as 48 in the series or as a few as 12, depending on your requirements.

Receive your aligners

During your next visit to your dentist, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your dentist may give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit.

Wear your aligners

You’ll wear each set of the aligners for one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. You’ll need to visit your dentist every few weeks to check that your treatment is progressing as planned. The total treatment time averages from 12 to 18 months.

Finish your treatment

Your treatment ends when you have worn each set of aligners. To help keep your new straighter smile, you will wear retainers at night for six months, and then usually a few times a week as instructed by your dentist.

We also include PolaNight tooth whitening as part of your package to help make your new smile even brighter!

What are the benefits of Invisalign®?

Virtually invisible

Unlike traditional braces, the Invisalign® system doesn’t use wires or brackets. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so it’s barely noticeable that you’re having your teeth straightened

Comfortable

Invisalign® clear aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces. The transparent aligners are flexible and custom made for a comfortable fit. They’re removable too, so you’ll find it easy to brush your teeth and eat normally during treatment.

Is Invisalign® treatment painful?

Invisalign® treatment isn’t painful, but when you first put your aligners in you can expect to feel some discomfort as you get used to wearing them. As you wear the aligners more, they will feel more comfortable and natural.

Simply put, you can’t achieve a straighter smile without some level of discomfort. Teeth straightening gradually moves your teeth into a different position, which makes them temporarily more sensitive.

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

The average Invisalign® treatment takes 12-18 months but varies depending on your individual needs. At your initial consultation, your dentist will be able to recommend which type of aligners are suitable for you and outline how long treatment will take.

We also offer 0% finance on our Invisalign® treatments over 3, 6 or 10 months.

A very friendly, welcoming and professional practice, very impressed with Ravi and all of his staff.

Best dentist I have ever been to. Cannot recommend this practice, or Aarti enough. She's an absolute pleasure and fantastic at keeping me calm and letting me know what's going on. I've never trusted or felt so at ease at a dentist before and that was having two root canals done!

Since having a 'break' from the dentist I returned to the practice due to a broken tooth. I have always been a nervous patient, but Aarti was very calm and reassuring and has provided great treatment. The procedures have been pain-free and I couldn't even feel the injection on my last visit! All the staff are very friendly and welcoming and I would highly recommend!

Excellent dental practice. They are friendly, professional and do great dental work. I can't recommend them enough.

They made me feel so welcome and calm. Couldn't give any more thanks for the help. I'm free from pain and ready for my next appointment. Amazing staff.
