Why might I choose to have Invisalign in Luton?

Although many individuals may believe ‘Invisalign’ is the name of the orthodontic style, this is just one provider of clear aligners.

Invisible braces are essentially similar to a retainer that may be used for individuals who have undergone previous forms of orthodontic work. Invisalign in Luton is a form of orthodontic treatment that is more subtle and therefore more aesthetically pleasing than other forms of orthodontics. Invisalign are virtually invisible within the mouth, and are custom made for each individual. Individuals who may choose to undergo orthodontics may suffer from crooked teeth, or an overbite, both of these concerns may lead to a decrease in a patient’s self-confidence, which can be solved through the use of teeth straightening devices. Individuals who may decide to undertake Invisalign treatment rather than other forms of traditional orthodontics may be in a profession and feel as if obvious dental work may hinder their prospects. Although it may be commonly thought that it is younger individuals who undergo orthodontics, older individuals may also choose to undergo forms of orthodontics if they wish to improve their smile at a later stage in their life.

How does Invisalign in Luton work, and how does Invisalign compare to other forms of orthodontics?

Invisalign works in a similar way to alternative forms of orthodontics, by encouraging the teeth to move in a positive direction. Invisalign are clear aligners that are renewed every few weeks by your dental provider, therefore during treatment patients will probably wear a number of these aligners all slightly adjusted. When undergoing your clear aligner treatment with us, we will initially take an impression of your teeth to ensure the clear aligners fit correctly. These clear aligners work by slowly adjusting the position of the teeth within the mouth, until the ideal straight teeth are achieved. Clear aligners are unique in the way that they produce results faster than more traditional forms of orthodontics, such as metal braces. Each Invisalign tray is straighter than the last, and moves the teeth by around 0.25mm each time they are changed.

How often do I have to wear my aligner?

We suggest that you wear your clear aligners from around twenty to twenty-two hours per day. Although your Invisalign braces should be removed to eat and drink, as well as for cleaning.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The prices of all orthodontic treatments differ greatly between each clinic, and the severity of the individual’s dental case. At our clinic, we fully understand that certain individuals may not be able to afford private dental fees, which is why we offer both private and national health service dental treatments, however Invisalign would not normally come under the NHS.

What if I feel nervous about visiting your dental clinic?

Individuals may feel nervous about visiting their local dental clinic for a wide array of reasons, one of which could be an irrational fear (also commonly referred to as a phobia).  Phobias can be triggered by negative childhood experiences. We aim to comfort and reassure our patients when undergoing treatments with us.
