How does the process work?

Once you have done this, we then arrange a free virtual appointment with the dentist or treatment co-ordinator. At this appointment, you can discuss costs, finance options and more details on how the Invisalign treatment works and approximately how long it will take to get your new smile. If you decide after this free consultation that you want to proceed, we will then take a £100 deposit and book you in for an appointment in the practice. At this appointment we take photos, Xrays and a 3D scan of your teeth using an iTero scanner. This in depth appointment will enables them to create a 3D plan of how the treatment will progress and provide a visible image of the end smile result.
Following on from the consultation a series of clear aligners will be 3D printed from the digital scans taking during your appointment. These aligners will be provided to you in sets with a clear dental plan to follow. Althougth the aligners can easily be removed, you should only removed them when you want to eat or drink and when cleaining your teeth. The aligners should be worn for approximately 20-22 hours a day and you move on to a new aligner normally after 7 days but the dentist will recommend a time frame change. Once you jave achieved your new smile, a new set of retention aligners will be provided which are to be worn ongoing to maintain the new position of the teeth. The good news is, these retainers are also extremely inconspicuous and comfortable.
