What are Invisalign?

Despite common misconception, Invisalign in Luton is, in fact, simply the name of just one brand provider of clear aligners. Many individuals may wrongly believe that invisalign is the orthodontic name for clear aligners, however this is not the case. Clear aligners have risen dramatically within recent years, due to the fact that they are an extremely subtle form of orthodontics, and can produce rapid and long-lasting dental results. Clear aligners are essentially transparent plastic trays that are inserted within the mouth, and custom-made for each individual patient. Invisalign could be argued as the leading provider of clear aligners, and are widely used by hundreds of dental clinics. Invisalign are commonly used as a subtle form of orthodontics, due to the fact that they are virtually invisible to friends and family.

How does Invisalign in Luton work?

Clear aligners essentially work in the same way as alternative forms of orthodontics, by slowly encouraging the teeth to move in a straighter direction. Traditional metal braces work by using brackets and a wire to realign the position of the teeth within the mouth. Clear aligners work by encouraging the teeth to straighten using clear plastic trays. Patients should initially undergo an initial consultation, where a member of our professional team will decipher whether or not clear aligners are best suited for you.  During your first Invisalign appointment, we will take impressions of your mouth, in order to receive a general overview of the position of your teeth, and create the first clear aligner. Invisalign will ship your first transparent trays to our dental clinic, and we will ensure this is worn by our patients for several weeks. Clear aligners are replaced every few weeks in order to slowly reposition the teeth, which will result in a more aesthetically pleasing smile. At our clinic, the position of the teeth are plotted on the computer, this dramatically reduces the number of dental appointments required.
