how do you prepare your teeth for invisalign?

This not only outlines the preparation needed for the teeth but also we will be able to incorporate any specific enhancement features into the design of the aligners as well.

In order to maximize the Invisalign treatment for an optimal outcome and success, we may need to prepare the teeth.

The prepared teeth help the aligners to move the teeth as desired into the correct positions.

On top of this, the consultant will need to carry out an oral assessment to examine the condition and state of your health and hygiene.

Dental problems like gum disease, infection and tooth decay can cause severe threats and risks to your general dental healthcare in the future.

IPR – interproximal reduction

This preliminary preparation can consist of minimal preparation (maximum 0.5mm) between the teeth to create space for correct alignment and position of teeth. This allows the teeth to fit correctly together and appear straight.

The process starts with a FREE discovery consultation where we discuss your needs and requirements with a Computerised Photographic Assessment to help you understand the possibilities.

Depending on your requirements we can customize and tailor-make individual treatments plan to suit your needs and budgets.

We also use Bite Analysis technology to ensure a long-lasting, comfortable and healthy final result.

what bite problems invisalign treats

Invisalign treatment can be used to widely correct many orthodontic issues.

The procedure solves oral problems like:

  • Overcrowding, which causes crooked teeth
  • Diastema; spaces between teeth
  • Overjets
  • Narrow buccal corridors also referred to as narrow smiles/arches
  • Underbites
  • Rotated teeth
  • Crossbite

For the best results, you will be required to wear your aligners for 22 hours each day. They can be removed to eat, drink, floss and brush.

Yes, in order to avoid retention, retainers are to be worn following treatment – the length of time will vary from patient to patient and will be advised by the dentist during your consultation.
