Cosmetic braces

[Keera]

Hi

I am interested in getting Invisalign cosmetic braces to straighten my teeth and would just like to ask a couple of questions.

With the cosmetic braces, would I be able to remove them on special occasions and put them back in, the rest of the time? Also do all dentists do Invisalign or do they need to have special training before they can provide the cosmetic braces?

Finally, what finance options are open to me for getting Invisalign? Would I need to pay for the whole thing at the beginning or can I spread the cost over a longer period?

Dear Keera,

One of the big advantages of Invisalign clear braces is that its removable and so you can remove them before special occasions and meetings. Invisalign clear braces are designed to be worn for around 22 hours/day. Removing them for a special occasion will therefore not reduce their effectiveness but they should be worn the rest of the time except for eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth.

Not all dentists provide invisalign as it is a orthodontic treatment which requires special training and experience. Generally invisalign is provided by dentists who have a special interest in orthodontics.

Finance options are numerous at Pearl Dental Clinic. Firstly the cost of invisalign can be spread over the duration of the treatment which is usually 1 year. Initial payment is £325 followed by £500-£1000 when treatment is accepted. Following this the monthly payments are £200 until the full cost of your treatment is payed. We also offer finance plans at Pearl Dental Clinic. 0% finance is offered over 1 year and 7.9% interest over 2, 3 or 4 years. It can cost as little as £1 per day with finance.
