At Pearl dental clinic, we have treated a variety of orthodontic concerns including teeth which are overcrowded or have gaps using Invisalign. Because Invisalign is nearly invisible, it would be difficult for anyone to detect that you are wearing it and so you can smile with confidence during and after your treatment. You can remove the aligners, so you can eat and drink what you like. In fact, studies have shown that it can be better for your dental hygiene during treatment as well! With no metal or sharp edges, it is comfortable to wear, does not cause allergies and has become very popular in recent years. In fact we have carried out over 1,500 successful Invisalign treatments over the past 11 years.
How does Invisalign work?
The Invisalign treatment starts with a Free Consultation with one of our experienced dentists or Specialist Orthodontist. If during the consultation, active tooth decay, gum disease or infection is detected, then those teeth will need to be treated before orthodontic treatment can begin.
Pearl Dental Clinic is one of few clinics in UK that Provide Invisalign using the iTero digital scanning system rather than using traditional impressions and moulds. The iTero handheld wand takes a digital, 3D image of your teeth, preventing the need for traditional impressions which can cause some patients to gag. You can look at the iTero 3D image of your teeth on the screen in real-time. The iTero scan also allows you to see a FREE preview of your treatment before the case is submitted. Rather than posting impressions to the lab to be scanned which could take weeks, the digital image is electronically sent to the Invisalign lab immediately and is available in the Clincheck system the next day. The accuracy and detail of the iTero digital scans vs traditional teeth impressions is kind of like watching high definition TV over standard definition TV. These digital scans don’t need to be rescanned so by removing the “clay modelling step” we have greatly improved the accuracy and speed of your treatment.
Once the ClinCheck plan is approved by you, Invisalign will then make a series of custom made aligners. Each aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position. You wear each aligner for one-two weeks, before moving on to the next aligner in the series.
Treatment length will vary depending on your case, but the average treatment time will be six to twelve months.
We will see you for a progress review every six weeks and you will then receive your new aligners.
The practice is open 7 days a week from 9am-10pm. Weekend and late evening appointments are available. You can book a FREE consultation by calling us on 0208 547 9997 or email us or book an appointment online.
