The Invisalign Clear Braces Process at 19 Wimpole Street, Marylebone.
Your Invisalign Journey in Marylebone
1. Invisalign Consultation
Embarking on your journey to a straighter smile with Invisalign at our Marylebone dental practice begins with an essential consultation. This crucial first step allows our expert team at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice to thoroughly assess your current smile and review your detailed dental history. It also provides you with the perfect opportunity to openly discuss your Invisalign treatment options in advance, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable, without any forced commitment.
2. Treatment
The next stage of the process is to scan your smile with an Itero 3D scanner and possibly take X-rays and photos. Itero scan and ClinCheck software remove the guesswork from Invisalign as it maps the route to your smile from start to finish. It also allows your doctor to customise your invisible braces treatment. This helps us to create 3D images of your treatment, so you’ll know what to expect at each stage and get to see your results. Next, you’ll have a series of custom invisible aligners created, which you’ll cycle through during treatment, ending with refinements (if required) and retainers. No moulds or impressions are needed, so there’s less mess and hassle involved.
3. Aftercare
At our Marylebone dental practice, your Invisalign treatment doesn’t end when you leave our clinic. With Invisalign, you’ll need retainers as part of your treatment, helping ensure your teeth stay put in their new positions. We can also help you with any queries during Invisalign treatment, from how to store your invisible braces to how to clean your aligners.
Your questions answered
about Invisalign at 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice, Marylebone
Patients at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice in Marylebone often ask if Invisalign treatment is painful. While some individuals report a feeling of pressure on their teeth when they switch to a new set of aligners, this sensation is entirely normal and to be expected. This temporary tightness simply indicates that your teeth are effectively being guided into their new, desired positions. Any similar feeling of pressure or tightness is commonly experienced with virtually any type of orthodontic brace, demonstrating the active movement of your teeth towards a straighter smile.
Invisalign clear braces offer several benefits over traditional metal braces. They are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. The aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions. Invisalign also provides a more comfortable experience, as there are no metal wires or brackets to cause irritation. Additionally, treatment is often faster for mild to moderate corrections, and digital treatment planning allows you to see a preview of your expected results before you even start.
Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is important for both oral hygiene and the longevity of the aligners. Rinse them under lukewarm water each time you remove them. Gently brush the aligners with a soft toothbrush — separate from your regular toothbrush — using clear, mild, anti-bacterial soap or a designated Invisalign cleaning solution. Avoid toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and scratch the aligners. For a deeper clean, you can soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a recommended denture-cleaning solution according to the instructions. Always rinse thoroughly before placing them back in your mouth.
The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of each case. For minor adjustments, aligners may work in as little as 6 to 9 months, while more significant orthodontic corrections can take 12 to 18 months or longer. During your initial consultation, your Marylebone dentist will assess your teeth and provide a personalised treatment plan, including an estimated timeline. Regularly wearing your aligners for the recommended 20–22 hours per day is essential for achieving the best results within the expected timeframe.
Most adults and teens are suitable candidates for invisible braces, such as Invisalign. They can correct a range of issues, including crooked teeth, gaps, and mild bite problems. However, suitability depends on the complexity of your case and the overall health of your teeth and gums. During a consultation at our Marylebone dental practice, our experienced dentists will assess your smile, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve the results you want.
