How Invisalign Braces Work to Straighten Teeth Discreetly

In the past, teeth straightening involved bulky metal braces with uncomfortable brackets and wires. Fortunately, advances in modern orthodontics offer an appealing solution: Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign braces provided by Drs. Chaw-Su Kyi, Sepideh Heydarian, and Sneha Kubal at West London Orthodontist Cosmetic Dental Studios can give you a beautifully straight smile in less time. Best of all, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can enjoy your favourite foods and take better care of your oral hygiene.

What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made for your unique situation. They gently guide your teeth into alignment and straighter positions. While fixed traditional braces are uncomfortable, removable Invisalign aligners fit snugly over your teeth. They’re an invisible solution for getting the straight smile you want.

At What Age Can My Child Start Using Invisalign?

Invisalign First is designed specifically for children as young as seven years old. Starting orthodontic treatment at this age can have lots of benefits. For example, your child will have quicker results when compared to traditional braces. Also, issues can be intercepted and corrected before they become more severe.

How Are Invisalign Clear Aligners Different From Traditional Braces?

With Invisalign, you have convenience, comfort, and a straight smile in less time.

• Shorter treatment time: Invisalign therapy takes six to 18 months, while traditional braces can take 18 to 24 months and even up to three years in complex cases.
• Enjoy your favourite foods: Because clear aligners can be removed, you don’t have to ever worry about being unable to eat the foods you enjoy.
• Improved oral hygiene: It’s difficult to practice optimal oral hygiene with traditional braces but not Invisalign.
• Clear aligners are discreet: Some people don’t like the look of traditional braces. If this is you, Invisalign is a discreet option.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost in the UK, and Is It Covered by NHS?

In most cases, Invisalign treatment in the UK costs between £3,500 and £7,500. However, the precise amount depends on your unique situation, including factors like how long you need to wear your aligners and whether your case is more complex. Unfortunately, Invisalign is considered cosmetic, so the NHS usually doesn’t cover it.

Is Invisalign Treatment Painful?

Invisalign is a pain-free solution for teeth straightening. There is typically some mild discomfort and pressure when you switch to your new aligners, but this quickly subsides. Also, remember that you don’t have the brackets and wires with traditional braces that irritate your lips and cheeks.

Can I Engage in Sports and Other Activities While Wearing Invisalign Clear Aligners?

With Invisalign, you can remove the aligners to participate in sports or play a musical instrument. As long as you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, it’s fine to remove them when you need to.
