Invisalign Treatments: The Clear Path to a Confident Smile

​

At The Whitehouse Dental Clinic, we are proud to offer Invisalign, the clear, comfortable, and effective way to straighten your teeth and improve your smile without the hassle and visibility of traditional metal braces. Whether you're a teen or an adult, Invisalign can give you the confidence of a straighter smile without disrupting your lifestyle.

​

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and are made from smooth, comfortable plastic, making them a popular choice for those seeking a discreet orthodontic option.

​

How Does Invisalign Work?

The process of achieving a beautiful, straight smile with Invisalign is simple and straightforward:

1. Consultation & Assessment: During your initial consultation, we will assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you. We will also take photographs and a 3D digital scan of your teeth to better be able to assess your treatment needs.

2. Customized Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we will create a detailed digital model of your teeth. This allows us to map out your personalized treatment plan, showing you the step-by-step movements your teeth will make throughout the treatment process.

3. Aligner Fabrication: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners will be created. Each set of aligners is worn on average for 1-2 weeks and gradually shifts your teeth into place. Individual biological response to treatment might change the duration you would need to wear each aligner for.

4. Regular Check-ups: Throughout your treatment, we'll schedule periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners as needed.

5. Final Results: After completing your treatment, you’ll enjoy a beautifully aligned smile that you can show off with confidence!

 

Benefits of Invisalign

• Discreet & Comfortable: Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, so you can smile with confidence throughout your treatment.

• Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, giving you greater flexibility and ease of maintenance.

• No Food Restrictions: Since the aligners are removable, you don’t need to avoid your favourite foods like you would with metal braces.

• Improved Oral Hygiene: Because the aligners are removable, it’s easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease.

• Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces, as you'll only need to check in every 6-8 weeks.

 

Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is an excellent option for many people, but the best candidates are those with mild to moderate dental misalignments. This includes issues such as:

• Crooked or crowded teeth

• Gaps between teeth

• Previous orthodontic treatment that has replased.

 

While Invisalign can be a great treatment for adults and teens alike, certain complex orthodontic issues may still require traditional braces or other treatments. During your consultation, we'll discuss your options and create a treatment plan that’s best suited for your needs. If needed we will advise you if a referral to a specialist orthodontist is more appropriate for your treatment needs.

 

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Treatment time can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their Invisalign treatment within 9-12 months.

After Invisalign: Retainers for Lasting Results

Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, it’s essential to wear a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Retainers ensure that your teeth don’t shift back into their previous positions, and we will work with you to create a plan for wearing your retainer after your treatment.
