When you have misaligned teeth, you may feel as though everyone can see them. Whether you have crooked teeth, gapped teeth, crowded teeth, or an overbite, these mild to moderate alignment issues can be a source of anxiety and low self-esteem for people. But, what if you could have a treatment that couldn’t be seen by other people and you could feel confident about? With Invisalign in Newcastle, our practice Clear Braces Direct can offer patients a treatment that is convenient, efficient and, best of all, discreet. Our service is designed to be a cost-effective and time-efficient approach that could see you have your new smile in as little as 4 to 6 months, without the need to visit us on a regular basis.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign is a system that consists of plastic aligners that are worn over the teeth like a gumshield. The aligners apply pressure to your teeth to move them into the positions they need to be, over a period of time. The aligners are also extremely comfortable to wear however, as they are made to fit your mouth precisely using the iTero technology that we have. This is a scan that gets the precise measurements of your mouth for your aligners to be manufactured in the Invisalign laboratory with. From this scan, we can also generate a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after the treatment has been completed.

How often will I need to come and see you?

You will need to come and see us for your free initial consultation, where we can examine your mouth thoroughly and assess your treatment options. If we proceed with Invisalign, then you will have an app to monitor your weekly progress on and we will review this regularly. We will only ask you to come in for a check-up if we feel we really need you to, which means that you won’t have to attend unnecessary appointments, or pay for them, saving you time and money. We will then need to see you at the end of your Invisalign journey as well, which could be as little as 4 months’ time. Invisalign in Newcastle is something to tell your friends about, but they won’t know you have anything in your mouth unless you do so!

Why are the aligners discreet?

The aligners are discreet because they are made of plastic and this is transparent, so when you put them in your mouth, only your teeth should be visible. You may also remove your aligners for up to 2 hours a day, which means that you will be able to take them out when you are eating and drinking, and you won’t be required to avoid hard or chewy foods, for example. Another benefit of being able to remove the aligners is that it will allow you to brush and floss as normal, without having to worry about anything hindering your oral hygiene efforts. And, if you want a break from wearing your aligners for any other reason, you should still have plenty of time to do that too.

How Invisalign works

To realign mild to moderate alignment issues such as crowded or gapped teeth, overbites or underbites, we will provide you with clear aligners that are made bespoke to fit your mouth precisely using iTero technology. This is a digital scan that we use to get the measurements of your mouth and which also allows us to generate a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like once the treatment is completed. We also have a weekly monitoring app, where you can see your progress week by week. It should help you to feel motivated and on track with wearing your aligners.

The aligners apply pressure to the teeth when they are being worn. This pressure moves the teeth into the desired position over a period of time. You may remove the aligners for up to 2 hours a day, when you want to eat and drink, or brush and floss, as well as doing other things such as playing sports. They should be comfortable to wear as they are made bespoke, but we know that you will also enjoy a little downtime from the treatment every now and then. It also means you won’t need to change your diet or worry about not being able to brush and floss properly – result!

Other reasons to choose Invisalign

If you feel self-conscious about the thought of having your teeth realigned and having to wear something in your mouth, you won’t need to worry with Invisalign in Newcastle. The aligners are made from a transparent plastic, so when they are being worn, only your teeth should be visible to other people.

Aside from the convenience of being able to remove the aligners and them being comfortable, your choice of our practice to deliver your Invisalign treatment will also mean that you will save money, as you won’t be expected to come in and see us every 6 weeks for an appointment. We will only ask you to come in if we feel we need you to, otherwise we will monitor your progress remotely.
