Is Invisalign genuinely permanent?

Once treatment is complete, you will need to wear a retainer.

Am I suitable for Invisalign?

Healthy teeth and gums are a pre-requisite for Invisalign treatment. We also recommend Invisalign to patients who know they can be disciplined with wearing their aligners for the allocated time each day.

Will Invisalign improve the health of my teeth?

Improved oral health is a secondary benefit of teeth straightening treatment. Once your teeth are straight, your brush and dental floss will do a more efficient job of removing bacteria and biofilm from your teeth.

How much is Invisalign?

Please take a look at our fee guide to view the cost of Invisalign at Meliora Dental. Treatment cost will vary depending on the complexity of the case.

What are retainers used for?

Retainers are important for the retention of orthodontic treatments once you have reached the end of the treatment process. As well as visiting our dental practice every 6 months for a check-up after the treatment, you will also have your retainer curated to prevent any sort of overcrowding once the aligners are not required. They must be worn every night to prevent the teeth from moving back into their original position. Fixed retainers may also be recommended after your orthodontic treatments if, for example, the gap between your two front teeth is susceptible to movement.

Reliable Teeth Straightening That Puts Patients First

Invisalign is an alternative solution to traditional fixed braces, for straightening misaligned teeth. The outcome of treatment is predictable, as 3D digital scans are taken, and used to create a simulation of your teeth. We can show you this before treatment commences, as well as the sequential movements your teeth will go through after the use of each aligner. These are changed every 1-2 weeks or as recommended by your dentist.

Invisalign aligners are made of BPA-free plastic. They’re easy to get used to, and once they are in your mouth, they are barely noticeable to the eyes of others.

Each day during your treatment you will have 2-hours in which to take out your aligners. This gives you the freedom to enjoy eating without an orthodontic appliance in the way, which would be the case with a fixed brace. The removable feature also means you can brush and floss without the aligners in too.

Gaps Between Teeth

Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.

Open Bite

An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.

Underbite

An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.

Overbite

An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.

Crossbite

A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.
