Invisalign for Adults and Children

An alternative to traditional metal and Fixed Braces, Invisalign Invisible Braces are an easy and effective way for patients to correct a smile afflicted with spacing, bite and crowding Issues.

Invisalign has taken the very best features of traditional braces and developed them to create a truly modernised, cosmetically-friendly concept in teeth straightening.

• Invisalign comes as a series of clear removable aligners that straighten your teeth, little by little, and unlike fixed braces, there are no wires or brackets.
• This means there is no metal and they are nearly invisible when you wear them.
• Invisalign aligners can be removed at any time during treatment, you can eat whatever you want, maintain good oral hygiene, and choose to remove them briefly for special occasions such as weddings or big meetings. Your lifestyle remains intact with Invisalign invisible aligners.

Invisalign clear braces and retainers can straighten your teeth quickly and discreetly, giving you the smile, you’ve always wanted in a matter of months. Invisalign is a versatile treatment and a suitable solution for a wide variety of orthodontic concerns.

How does Invisalign work?

The reason Invisalign is so special is instead of using brackets and wires to move the teeth, like most other traditional orthodontic treatments, it utilizes a series of lightweight, see-through plastic aligners. Our patients simply wear an individual set of aligners for about 2 weeks for 20 – 22 hours a day before moving onto the next set, and once they’ve gone through the entire series, their teeth should be perfectly straight.

How do I know if my teeth are right for Invisalign?

Our Cardiff Invisalign dental practice has an experienced team of Invisalign and cosmetic dentists and we’ve successfully treated hundreds of Invisalign patients.

We know Invisalign is extremely successful at correcting most cases of mild to moderate dental misalignment. Some examples of dental problems Invisalign can treat include:

Crowded Teeth

Crowded, overlapping teeth can lead to further problems for your oral health if left untreated. Fortunately, Invisalign will realign each tooth each one has the space it needs to function at its very best.

Gaps between teeth

Large gaps between the teeth can leave your gums vulnerable to infection-causing bacteria. Many people also feel large gaps between their teeth is unattractive and can lead to less confidence and lower self-esteem. Invisalign can close gaps and straighten teeth so get the smile you’ve always dreamed of and a healthier more attractive look, with all the benefits of improved self-confidence that brings.

Bite Alignment

Issues like overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite can interfere with your facial aesthetics and create oral health problems. Invisalign helps to address a whole host of bite problem issues.

What are the Benefits of Invisalign?

It’s easy to see why so many patients are choosing Invisalign over traditional braces:

• The aligner trays are extremely thin and designed to be 100% clear, meaning they are practically invisible while covering your teeth. You’ll never have to worry about anyone staring at your teeth during treatment.
• Metal braces can irritate the inside of your mouth, Invisalign’s smooth plastic sits easily against the lips, cheeks, and gums. Each tray is created using a 3D scan of your teeth so you can enjoy a comfortable fit.
• With regular braces, you have to alter your diet and teeth brushing routine, but that’s not the case with Invisalign. You can simply remove the trays whenever you eat or brush your teeth.
• In many cases, Invisalign is able to straighten the teeth faster than traditional orthodontics. Most treatments only last about 12 – 18 months, while the average braces treatment time is well over 2 years.

Do I have to wear my Invisalign aligners all day?

Being able to remove Invisalign when you floss, brush, eat or drink is one of the many wonderful benefits of the treatment but it does mean patients need to be responsible for wearing the aligners at all other times. Throughout your treatment, it will be up to you to remember to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours every day.

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign aligners are made out of a single piece of smooth plastic which means they glide past your soft tissues comfortably. However, it’s completely natural to experience some soreness any time teeth are shifted into a new position. Any discomfort you experience should be easily manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and ease within a few days.

Will Invisalign effect my speech?

Some patients who begin Invisalign treatment notice a slight lisp. This usually goes away after a few days once your tongue adjusts to the aligners. Generally, you can expect to return to your normal speaking pattern within a week or two.

Do I have to change my diet with Invisalign?

Unlike traditional metal braces that required you to adhere to certain dietary restrictions, Invisalign aligners allow you to continue enjoying all your favourite foods. Simply take them out, enjoy your meal, and give your teeth a quick brush before putting your aligners back into place. You’ll also be able to remove them for sports and playing instruments like the trumpet. Remember to always store your aligners in their case when you take them out.

I’ve had traditional braces before, can I still get Invisalign?

While traditional braces are a reliable method of straightening teeth, their results may not last a lifetime if the patient neglects wearing their retainer. If you’ve had other orthodontic work in the past but find your teeth are crooked again, Invisalign may be an excellent choice. While these clear aligners are typically a great option for anyone who wants a straighter smile, we’ll carefully inspect your teeth and bite alignment during your consultation to ensure they’re the most effective treatment for you.

Should I use a Dentist or Orthodontist for Invisalign?

In order to offer Invisalign as a treatment for straightening teeth all dentists and orthodontists will need to be fully trained in fitting these clear aligners. If we feel your individual case is more suited to alternative orthodontic solutions then we will discuss all options available at your initial Invisalign consultation.
