“I shopped around, but from the start of the invisalign consultation, I realised I was in good hands. I felt my treatment was very tailored to my needs. I love my smile, and I no longer have headaches- I didn’t even know that was linked to my teeth! Thank you team!”
Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made for your teeth. As each aligner is changed, gradually week by week, the teeth will move to the final desired position.
In a word, no they can not. There has been a boom in recent years with patients seeking aligners directly from clubs and companies that proclaim they can straighten your teeth at home without the need to see a dentist. This is not only unwise, but it is also potentially dangerous. Dental realignment needs to be overseen by a trained professional who can take the mould themself (or the scans) and then help you with the wearing of the aligner. With at-home aligners, there are too many errors that can occur, such as improper mould taking, poorly fitting aligners and lack of instruction that can cause damage to your teeth in the long run. If you want to have your teeth straightened using any kind of brace or aligner, call our team for advice and consultation.
At Balham Dental Studio, we are happy to offer pay as you go payment options to all our Invisalign patients, helping you spread the cost of the treatment into affordable chunks. If you would like to know more about the financing options that we may be able to provide you with, please call our friendly reception team for more information.
Invisible aligners are very easy to care for and, as they do not require alterations or tightening, they can easily be fitted into your daily routine. We usually advise that you clean them twice a day by rinsing them under a cold tap. But, if you have stubborn debris or staining, you should use a toothbrush to remove it and not attempt to clean it off using hot water. This can cause the aligners to warp out of shape, after which you would need to order new ones, thus delaying the treatment time. When the aligners are not in your mouth, we recommend placing them in the containers provided and not putting them into your pockets or a bag, as this can inadvertently cause them to become damaged.
It is likely that the presence of an aligner in your mouth is going to affect your speech. But, it is probable that if you have had misaligned teeth for a while, that your speech patterns have already been altered by the position of your teeth. And, while it may seem strange, developing a different vocal pattern when wearing an aligner can be a good thing, as it means your teeth are shifting and your tongue is moving correctly. As a result, any speech impediments you had, such as a lisp, may reverse completely.
On average, invisible aligners straighten mild to moderate misalignments and the treatment time is generally shorter than fixed metal braces. The treatment time also relies heavily on you keeping your aligners in your mouth for around 22 hours per day or as directed by our team.
