Invisalign

At West Auckland Dental Care in County Durham, treatment times for Invisalign typically range from 6 to 12 months, although this can vary depending on your individual needs. After your consultation, we use Invisalign’s ClinCheck 3D imaging technology to create a personalised smile simulation and provide a more accurate estimate of your treatment duration.

With no metal, sharp edges, or brackets, clear aligners in County Durham are a much more comfortable alternative to traditional braces. You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new aligner, which is a normal sign that your teeth are gradually moving as planned.

Your virtually invisible aligners are simple to insert and remove, and when you receive your first set we’ll guide you through exactly how to use them. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably and securely, ensuring a precise and reliable fit throughout your treatment.

You should wear your clear aligners throughout the day and night, only removing them when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing and flossing your teeth. In some cases, you may be able to briefly remove them for important occasions such as a wedding or special event.

To keep your aligners clean, simply brush them gently and rinse in lukewarm water. You can also use specialist cleaning tablets, which we keep in stock for your convenience. It’s important to brush your teeth after every meal and before reinserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene and keep your treatment on track.

Invisalign is an excellent choice for those who feel self-conscious about traditional braces, as the clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn. They can also be removed when eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth, making them a convenient and discreet way to straighten your smile without disrupting your daily routine.
