How Invisalign™ Works
Invisalign works through a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. The process begins with a consultation, where our experienced team uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a precise digital model of your teeth. This model helps design a personalised treatment plan that outlines the specific movements of your teeth and the duration of your treatment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series, progressively moving your teeth closer to the final, perfect alignment.
The aligners are made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic that is comfortable to wear and virtually invisible, making them an attractive alternative to traditional braces. You will need to wear the aligners for 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Regular check-ups with your Dentist will ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and allow for any necessary adjustments. With Invisalign, you can achieve a beautiful, straight smile without the discomfort and inconvenience of metal braces, all while maintaining your regular lifestyle and oral hygiene routine.
What Is Invisalign™?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. These aligners are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a perfect fit and effective results. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for those who want a more discreet option for teeth straightening. They are also removable, allowing patients to eat, drink, and clean their teeth with ease, which helps maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.

OPEN BITE
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed, creating a gap. This condition is often the result of habits such as thumb-sucking or genetic influences, and it can impact both the ability to bite and overall appearance.
CROWDED TEETH
Crowded teeth happen when there is insufficient space in the jaw for all the teeth to align properly, resulting in overlapping or twisted teeth. This condition is often caused by genetic factors or the early loss of baby teeth and can impede oral hygiene, potentially necessitating orthodontic treatment.
UnderBITE
An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth, typically due to jaw misalignment or genetic factors. This condition can impact chewing and speech and often requires orthodontic or surgical intervention.
GAPPED TEETH
Gapped teeth, or diastema, refer to noticeable spaces between two or more teeth. This condition is often hereditary or caused by habits such as thumb-sucking. While primarily an aesthetic concern, it is best addressed with orthodontic treatment.
CrossBITE
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside. This condition, caused by misaligned jaws or irregular tooth positioning, can lead to uneven wear and jaw problems. Orthodontic treatment is often recommended for correction.
OVERBITE
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth. This condition is often genetic or caused by habits such as thumb-sucking, leading to bite issues or enamel wear. Orthodontic treatment is commonly used for correction.
Invisalign™ Vs Braces
Invisalign and traditional braces both aim to straighten teeth and improve oral health, but they differ significantly in their approach and appearance. Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth and are virtually invisible when worn. These aligners are removable, allowing for more flexibility with eating, drinking and maintaining oral hygiene. Traditional braces, on the other hand, involve metal brackets and wires that are fixed to the teeth and adjusted periodically by your dentist. While effective, braces are more noticeable and can be less comfortable, particularly during adjustments. However, braces are often recommended for more complex dental issues as they provide more precise control over tooth movement.

- Fewer Dental Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer check-up visits compared to traditional braces, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign in Leicester
Is Invisalign better than braces?
The choice between Invisalign and braces depends on individual needs and preferences. Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces, with clear aligners that are nearly invisible and removable for eating and cleaning. However, traditional braces may be more effective for addressing complex dental issues. Patients from Syston often book a consultation to find out which option suits their smile best.
Can Invisalign fix an overbite?
Yes, Invisalign can effectively correct overbites in many cases. The clear aligners are designed to gradually shift your teeth and jaw into proper alignment. During your consultation, our team will assess your overbite and create a customised treatment plan to address it with Invisalign. Patients in Leicester often ask about overbite correction as part of their treatment goals.
Can Invisalign fix an underbite?
Invisalign can also be used to correct underbites, depending on the severity of the condition. Mild to moderate underbites can be treated with Invisalign aligners, which work to reposition the teeth and jaw over time. For more severe cases, additional treatments may be necessary. Patients from Thurmaston and Birstall often discuss suitability at the assessment appointment.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally less painful than traditional braces, but some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure when they first start wearing a new set of aligners. This is a normal part of the process as the aligners work to shift your teeth into place. The discomfort typically subsides within a few days. Patients from Queniborough and surrounding areas often feel reassured once they know what’s normal.
Can I have Invisalign with receding gums?
Yes, you can use Invisalign even if you have receding gums. However, it is essential to address any underlying gum health issues before starting treatment. Our team will conduct a thorough examination of your gums and overall oral health to ensure that Invisalign is a safe and effective option for you. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are crucial to maintaining healthy gums during your Invisalign treatment.
