Invisalign London is a simple method of straightening teeth that has been made popular across the world by its use of clear aligners as an alternative to traditional metal wires and brackets. More than 14 million patients across the world have already straightened their teeth with Invisalign, and it continues to grow in popularity. It is modern, effective, convenient and, best of all, discreet; you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. You need to speak to your dentist and find out whether Invisalign is suitable for you.

A tailored treatment plan
First, you will undergo a three-dimensional iTero scan, which will create a digital image of your teeth. You will be able to see your teeth on the screen, and your dentist will be able to show you how your teeth will look after having them straightened with Invisalign. They will put this into a personalised video that you can take home so that you can take your time to make an informed decision, discussing it with your friends and family if you would like to.
Order your aligners
Next, if you decide to go ahead with Invisalign, you will be asked to make an online payment so that your aligners can be ordered and manufactured. You will be told how many aligners you need, how long the process will take and the cost of the treatment. Once the payment is made, the aligners will be processed by Invisalign.
Invisalign aligners
Within 3 to 4 weeks, the aligners will be delivered to the dental practice or your home address. For your initial fitting, you will need to visit your dentist so that they can fix small attachments to the surface of your teeth so that the aligners can grip securely and apply greater pressure on your teeth. After this, you can carry on with the rest of the process in the comfort of your own home. Each aligner will need to be swapped after two weeks, and you should move on to the next aligner in the series. You must continue doing this until you reach the end of the series.
Online monitoring
During this time, you will have access to an online monitoring app. Through this app, you can share your progress with your dentist. You will receive feedback, and if you have any issues, you can book an appointment to meet your dentist in person.
Maintaining your smile
Finally, when you have completed the series and achieved a neatly aligned smile, you can visit your dentist to learn about Invisalign’s very own retainer. This retainer will help maintain your brand-new smile and look very similar to the last aligner you wore; however, unlike the aligners, it will be designed to hold your teeth in place. You can also learn about whitening your teeth to complete your smile makeover.
Speak to your dentist and find out more about Invisalign and why it is being used by patients of all ages across the world. The sooner you begin, the quicker you can start enjoying the benefits of straight teeth.
