Invisalign works through a series of customised, clear aligners that gradually move teeth into their desired position. Here’s a step-by-step process of how this works:

Step 1: Consultation and Assessment

Using cutting-edge technology, a dentist or orthodontist examines your teeth to determine if Invisalign is suitable for you. Digital scans, photos, and X-rays may be taken to assess your teeth and create a personalised treatment plan.

Step 2: Customised Treatment Plan

Your dentist creates a detailed treatment plan using 3D imaging technology, carefully planning every shift in your teeth from start to finish. The 3D digital road map ensures precise force is calculated for each stage, paving the way to the smile you desire.

Step 3: Aligner Fabrication

The digital road map is then brought to life with 3D printing to create your custom aligners. Only Invisalign aligners use a specialist SmartTrack material, designed by biomechanical engineers, to fit perfectly against your gums. This unique material provides better flexibility, greater comfort, and more accurate movement for each tooth.

Step 3: Wearing the Aligners

You wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks, wearing them for 20–22 hours a day and removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Each aligner gradually shifts your teeth over the course of this period to ensure a perfect smile.

Step 4: Progress Checkups

Regular checkups usually every 4-8 weeks allow the dentist to monitor progress, make sure you’re on track and provide new sets of aligners as needed.

Step 5: Treatment Completed

Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive retainers to wear at night, helping maintain your new smile and preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Whether as a result of accessibility challenges, scheduling clashes, or geographical obstacles, we understand that getting to and from the practice for Invisalign check-ups is not always convenient. Which is why this latest service via the My Invisalign app combines technology with virtual communication, enabling patients to upload images and receive tailored advice from the comfort of home.
