INVISALIGN KENT

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign clear aligners is generally not painful, though some patients may experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new aligner.

This feeling is temporary and indicates that your teeth are moving as intended. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth and less likely to irritate gums or cheeks. Over-the-counter pain relief can be used if necessary, but most patients adjust quickly to the aligners. Your dentist will monitor your progress and ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process.

At our clinic in Kent, we recommend arranging a consultation to determine if Invisalign is the right teeth straightening option for you. Generally, patients with healthy teeth and all their adult teeth are likely suitable. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific needs, including any complex bite issues or existing dental work, to confirm if Invisalign is suitable for your goals.

You can generally begin your Invisalign treatment within a month of your initial consultation at our clinic in Kent. It typically takes a few weeks to a month to create your custom aligners. However, the exact timeframe may vary depending on the complexity of your case. Our dentist will provide a detailed explanation and an accurate timescale tailored to your individual needs during your consultation.

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours daily, including at night, to achieve effective results. Consistent wear ensures that your teeth are gradually and predictably aligned. Aligners are only removed for eating, drinking (non-water beverages), brushing, and flossing.

Wearing them at night is essential for maintaining progress during sleep, as teeth can shift without consistent pressure. Sticking to the recommended schedule helps you stay on track with your treatment timeline and ensures optimal results.

Invisalign clear aligners are made from SmartTrack®, a patented thermoplastic material designed for comfort and effectiveness. This BPA-free, medical-grade plastic is clear, flexible, and durable, ensuring aligners fit snugly over your teeth while applying gentle, consistent pressure for realignment.

SmartTrack® is hypoallergenic and tailored to provide maximum efficiency in moving teeth while minimising discomfort. Its transparency makes Invisalign clear aligners nearly invisible, offering a discreet alternative to metal braces. The high-quality material is specifically engineered to ensure both comfort and predictable results throughout your treatment.

Invisalign prices start from £2,500 at our clinic in Kent.

After completing your Invisalign treatment, it’s crucial to wear a retainer at night to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Using cutting-edge 3D imaging technology, the retainer is designed to fit perfectly and can also address any slight movements that may occur post-treatment.

Whether Invisalign is a better option than traditional braces depends entirely on your individual needs. Metal braces (with wires & brackets) are highly effective for a wide range of alignment issues, including more severe cases, and require less effort from the patient, making them a good choice for those who may struggle with the upkeep aligners demand. However, Invisalign stands out for its discreet, removable design, offering a modern and convenient solution that fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles. It is an excellent choice for many patients – book your consultation today at our clinic.
