Invisalign® in Kidbrooke

These clear aligners shift teeth with a series of controlled movements. Like other traditional braces, Invisalign controls the amount of movement that each aligner delivers and times the movement. Only a few teeth can move at each stage.

With advanced 3D imaging technology, our Invisalign provider in Croydon prepares a treatment plan for the initial positioning of your teeth to the desired position. After this, a series of aligners are customised for your teeth to shift them little by little. Each aligner is worn for almost two weeks before replacing it gradually moving towards the final position. The treatment time will depend on your specific need and decided by our Invisalign Provider.

Some people might experience slight discomfort for a few days while inserting a new aligner at the beginning of the treatment. This is quite normal and a sign that the aligners are working properly and it will go in a few days.

Yes, Invisalign is a suitable solution for both teenagers and adults who are looking for a discreet way to improve their smile. Our latest innovations and technological advance shave made it possible to fix almost all teeth misalignment and bite issues, whether simple or complex, without impacting on your daily life. Parents can be sure that their child is wearing aligners when they see a discreet blue dot on the outer part of the braces.

Many orthodontists at Smile 4 U Dental Practice in Kidbrooke are Invisalign accredited. Also, specialists who provide the treatment are trained and accredited by our Invisalign team.

The treatment begins with an initial consultation with the Invisalign accredited provider. She/he will assess your smile and make up a customised treatment plan discussing with you the step-by-step transformation of your smile.

After the plan is approved, your clear aligners will be prepared. You will have to wear the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours in every 24 hours and change to a new set every 2 weeks or as suggested by the dentist. Each set of aligners gradually and gently moves teeth into their proper position, until you attain your desired smile.

• Our dentist will take pictures of your teeth
• After this, impressions and models of your teeth will be made
• This is followed by 3D computer simulation of the procedure
• Bespoke clear aligners created sequentially for the tooth alignment treatment
• Custom designed retainers are prepared to maintain your teeth’s position after treatment.

During the consultation, your invisalign dentist will discuss your teeth-straightening goals and examine your smile carefully to determine your needs. Your dentist will tell you how soon you will be able to restore your gorgeous smile and the treatment cost associated with it.

Your dentist will schedule a routine checkup and mouth cleaning before starting with the treatment to ensure your teeth and gums are in good health and to prevent unnecessary risks.

The treatment time actually depends on several factors such as how complicated your case is and how often you wear your aligners. Your Invisalign provider will tell how much time the treatment will take, based on your specific requirements. The time needed is on average 12 to 18 months, though in some cases results are apparent within six months.

You can clean your aligners by using Invisalign cleaning products, available either online or from your dentist. Brush using a soft bristled brush and Fluoride contained toothpaste and rinse with water. It is advised that you do not put hot water on the aligners as this might warp the plastic.

The cost depends on the severity of the straightening challenge and the course of the treatment, as with other orthodontic procedures. The cost associated with adult braces is comparable to traditional fixed ones and may range between £2,500 and £4,500. If only slight tooth movement is required, then the prices start from as low as £1500. Your Invisalign dentists will guide you on the cost of the treatment.

Many Invisalign providers offer flexible monthly payment plans that enable you to make incremental payments during your Invisalign treatment.

Our dentists offer financing and other modes of payment. We are associated with a third-party treatment-financing program that makes it easy to afford the treatment.
