We will take you through the Case Assessment, which is a simple set of photos to determine whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment.
If treatment is right for you, we'll take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. Then we'll create you a digital treatment plan, using our state of the art technology, showing you what your results could look like via a 3D video.
We'll give you a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks (as directed by your Dentist). You can comfortably wear your aligners for 22 hours a day (the recommended daily wear). And because they're removable, it's easy to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your usual diet.
We'll invite you back to the practice around every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and hand over your new aligners. At the end of your treatment, you will need to wear your retainers to maintain your new smile.
A beautiful, smile is a powerful thing. It can change your outlook, help you overcome inhibitions and give you greater confidence – in both your professional life and when you are out socialising.
With Invisalign, you can achieve this smile without using traditional fixed braces. This Fact Sheet provides information about the Invisalign System, so you can discover if a clear, convenient and comfortable teeth straightening treatment is the right course of action for you.
If you've ever thought about improving your smile, Invisalign could be the clear way forward.
Developed by Align Technology together with leading orthodontists in 1997, Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made clear aligners. Comfortable, clear and removable – Invisalign transforms your smile without disrupting your life. Something that over 8 million people worldwide have already discovered
By using advanced technology, Invisalign can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues that were previously treated with traditional braces – from minor tooth movements to more complex cases. These issues include:
It takes approximately between 9 and 18 months to create a new smile using Invisalign. Getting there takes just four simple steps:
Custom-made to fit your teeth and your lifestyle, Invisalign offers many benefits beyond your brand-new smile:
With our Invisalign iTero Scanner we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than the old putty based impressions, but it's faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint.
Once you have your aligners fitted by us, the most commonly asked question Dr Basrai gets asked is how do we look after them?
After all, you are constantly taking them in and out of your mouth for approximately 22 hours a day.
We suggest rinsing and brushing your aligners with cold water two to three times a day. Avoid the use of toothpaste in your aligners as this can make them more cloudy and take the effect of the clear aspect of why you had Invisalign done in the first place.
If possible don't forget to brush and floss your teeth before you put them back in. If you cannot do this, then simply rinse your mouth with water.
If you find that your aligners need deep cleaning, you can simply soak them in a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water for about 10 to 20 mins before brushing them.
Never soak your aligners for long periods of time or use hot water as this could cause damage to the aligner and they won't fit.
"I started my Invisalign treatment with Dave in 2018 and I could not be happier with the results. The treatment was so straightforward to follow and I was always provided with proper instructions before I left.
From the initial consultation to the end of my treatment, the whole experience has been absolutely amazing!
The environment is comfortable and clean and the nurses and receptionist are all friendly, helpful and great at what they do.
I could not recommend Chafford Hundred Dental Care enough. Thank you so much guys!"
