Invisalign Aligners - Before & After

Slide the tab to the left and right to show the before and after photographs.

What are Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign aligners are clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Made from a flexible, BPA-free plastic material, these aligners are virtually invisible when worn. Invisalign aligners are created using advanced 3D imaging technology, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.

In the quest for a confident and beautiful smile, many people turn to orthodontic treatments to straighten their teeth. In the past, traditional metal braces were the go-to option for correcting misalignments. However, advancements in orthodontic technology have introduced a more discreet and convenient alternative known as Invisalign aligners. These transparent aligners offer a revolutionary approach to teeth straightening, providing a plethora of benefits for those seeking a less noticeable solution.

How do Invisalign aligners work?

Invisalign aligners work by applying gentle and controlled forces to specific teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gradually moving the teeth closer to their desired alignment. The treatment process involves a series of aligners that are worn sequentially, with each set designed to make precise adjustments to the teeth.

Benefits of using Invisalign aligners

Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, allowing individuals to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.

Comfort and Convenience: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, making eating, brushing, and flossing easier. They also eliminate the discomfort associated with metal wires and brackets.

Customised Treatment: Invisalign aligners are tailored to each individual's unique dental needs. The treatment plan is created using advanced computer software, ensuring a personalised approach to teeth straightening.

Improved Oral Health: Invisalign aligners allow for better oral hygiene as they can be easily removed for brushing and flossing. This helps prevent plaque buildup and reduces the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Shorter Treatment Time: Invisalign treatment can often be completed in a shorter time frame compared to traditional braces, depending on the severity of the misalignment.

The process of getting Invisalign aligners

Getting Invisalign aligners involves several steps. First, you'll have a consultation with one of our Invisalign providers, Dr Ronette Goosen, Dr Fernando Bockman and Dr Sophie Delaney. They will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. If it is suitable, they will create a customised treatment plan using advanced digital imaging technology.

Next, digital scans of your teeth will be taken to create your custom aligners. These aligners are designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Once the aligners are ready, you'll be given a series of sets to wear, typically changing them every two weeks. Your orthodontist will monitor your progress and make adjustments as necessary.

How long do you need to wear Invisalign aligners?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and your specific dental needs. On average, treatment can last anywhere from several months to over a year. It's important to wear your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day to ensure effective results and timely completion of the treatment.

What to expect during the treatment process

During the Invisalign treatment process, you can expect your teeth to gradually shift into alignment. While wearing your aligners, you may experience some mild discomfort or pressure, especially when switching to a new set. This is normal and indicates that the aligners are working to move your teeth. However, any significant pain should be reported to your orthodontist.

Is Invisalign right for everyone?

Invisalign is suitable for many individuals seeking orthodontic treatment. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, especially in cases of severe malocclusions or complex dental issues. It's best to consult with an experienced orthodontist to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.

Potential side effects of using Invisalign aligners

While Invisalign is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. These can include temporary discomfort, soreness, or irritation of the gums and cheeks. In rare cases, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the materials used in the aligners. It's important to discuss any concerns or side effects with your orthodontist.

How to care for Invisalign aligners

Proper care and maintenance of your Invisalign retainers are essential for the success of your treatment. Here are some tips:

Clean your aligners daily: Never brush your aligners, as this can give them a cloudy appearance. Soak your aligners in a specialist aligner cleaning product such as Retainer Brite once a day, dissolving the product in a glass of COLD WATER. Rinse them thoroughly before putting them back in your mouth.

Avoid eating or drinking with aligners: To prevent staining and damage, it's best to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water.

Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush and floss your teeth after every meal before reinserting your aligners. This helps prevent food particles from getting trapped and causing dental issues.

Store your aligners properly: When not wearing your aligners, store them in their case to protect them from damage or loss.

Follow your dentist's instructions: Your dentist will provide specific guidance on caring for your aligners and any additional steps you should take to maintain oral health during treatment.

Comparing Invisalign aligners to traditional braces

Book A Consultation Now

Invisalign aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces. Here are some key points of comparison:

Aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a more discreet option compared to the noticeable metal brackets and wires of traditional braces. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer a more subtle orthodontic treatment.

Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, reducing the likelihood of irritation and discomfort often associated with braces. There are no metal components that can cause abrasions or poke the soft tissues of the mouth.

Removability: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be easily removed when necessary. This means you can enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions and maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing without obstruction.

Treatment Duration: In certain cases, Invisalign treatment may offer faster results compared to traditional braces. The length of treatment depends on individual factors, such as the complexity of the case and the patient's compliance with wearing the aligners as instructed.

Convenience: With Invisalign aligners, you'll typically have fewer orthodontic visits compared to traditional braces. This can be advantageous for individuals with busy schedules or those who prefer fewer interruptions in their daily lives.

Invisalign aligners for teenagers and adults

Invisalign aligners are suitable for both teenagers and adults. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed to address the unique needs of teenagers, taking into consideration their ongoing dental development and the importance of compliance. Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable option for teenagers who may feel self-conscious about traditional braces.

For adults, Invisalign provides a way to straighten their teeth without sacrificing their professional image or lifestyle. The clear aligners allow for a more inconspicuous treatment that fits seamlessly into their daily routine.

Invisalign Aligners FAQ's

If you don't see the information you are looking for, Contact Us, our team are waiting to assist you.

Will wearing Invisalign retainers affect my speech?

No, wearing Invisalign retainers should not significantly impact your speech. Initially, you may experience a slight adjustment period where you may notice a temporary change in speech patterns. However, most individuals adapt quickly, and any speech issues typically resolve within a few days.

Can I drink hot beverages while wearing Invisalign retainers?

It is not recommended to drink hot beverages, such as tea or coffee, while wearing Invisalign retainers. The heat can deform the aligners, affecting their fit and effectiveness. It's best to remove your aligners before consuming hot liquids and wait until they have cooled down before putting them back in.

Can I chew gum with Invisalign retainers?

No, it's important to avoid chewing gum while wearing Invisalign retainers. Gum can stick to the aligners, making them difficult to clean and potentially damaging the aligner material.

Will wearing Invisalign retainers cause discomfort?

Some mild discomfort may be experienced when wearing Invisalign retainers, particularly when transitioning to a new set of aligners. This discomfort is usually temporary and is a sign that the aligners are effectively shifting the teeth. Over-the-counter pain relievers or the use of orthodontic wax can help alleviate any soreness or irritation.

Can I play sports or musical instruments with Invisalign retainers?

Yes, you can participate in sports or play musical instruments while wearing Invisalign retainers. However, it is recommended to wear a mouthguard during contact sports to protect both your teeth and the aligners. If you play wind instruments, you may need some time to adjust to playing with the aligners in place.

I have to say that I've been terrified of dentists and dentistry for most of my life. 1970's... dentists left a scar on my psyche, as well as inflict pain on me.Having said that, I must exclude Dr Goosen and co from the roll call of dentists of horror. I urgently needed a molar removed, and was treated with care and consideration. Never felt a thing.I've seen the hygienist since, and while it wasn't pleasant, I never thought I'd be in hysterical laughter sat in a dentists chair, but here we are.They proved to me that I can go to the dentist and be treated well, they are stars.Thanks, guys 😊read more

On needing some treatment I did not bother looking for a Dentist in Devon preferring to travel to Ramsbottom (500 miles round trips) as I knew the quality of care and service I’d receive and my expectations have been exceeded. I can recommend them to anybody whatever the nature and severity of their dental problems. They are absolutely brilliant with nervous patients. The practice is a credit to all the hard work Johan, his wife Ronette and colleagues have invested in this brilliant dental practice. Thank you.read more

A few years ago I had to have a treatment that I was scared of, Johan did it and he put me at such ease, he was so gentle and I had absolutely nothing to be scared of.

Hygienist was top notch. I'm usually left with saw and bleeding gums but they were meticulous and... did it with such precision my teeth were spotless and not an ounce of blood or discomfort.However, Sophie said I needed a £120 custom fit night guard and they made one for me. I felt rushed and spoken to like I was a nuisance. During fitting it was briefly adjusted once and then quickly put in a box and me sent home. After getting a minute to use it I found it rocks to the right when I bite on it as there's very little contact on the left and there are large bits sticking into my tongue on the right. I don't feel comfortable going back for another adjustment as they've shown they have little time and are more concerned about maximizing throughput and profit. Again, I do not feel comfortable going back.Hygienist was great though 👌read more

I have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence in Johan and his team at Ramsbottom Dental Care.... About two years ago a front tooth broke and I have had an implant fitted. It was a masterclass in dental engineering. A 3 dimensional scan is made of the jaw and information transferred to a CAD (Computer Aided design) system. The implant is fitted using a guidance jig and the end result is a perfect match in size, alignment and tooth shade.Johan is very professional and pays a lot of attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team.R C Barkerread more

I had the pleasure of visiting Ramsbottom Dental Care today, and I must say it was a surprisingly... positive experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly.The receptionist was welcoming and the waiting area was really pleasant and comfortable, making the brief wait enjoyable.Sophie, my dentist, and her assistant Shannon were exceptional. They took the time to explain each step of the examination process and Sophie took the time to go over all of my treatments options in great detail which really helped me to decide the best option for me.What also stood out was the modern and well-equipped facility. The use of advanced technology not only made the procedures more efficient but also instilled confidence in the quality of care provided.Overall, my visit to Ramsbottom Dental Care was really positive. I left feeling well taken care of, and I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone in search of a friendly, professional, and technologically advanced dental experience.

The premises are inviting, relaxing, and absolutely spotless. I've instantly gone from a terrified patient to feeling reassured and happy with my treatment plan - in a very short period of time. I just wish we had found them sooner, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them (in fact I do so at every opportunity!) Never before has a dentist extracted my teeth without sedation, but Dr Johan did so with the very minimum of discomfort. I have now regained my smile, and could not be happier - thank you!read more
