Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth without metal braces. They are almost invisible when worn, making them popular with adults and older teenagers. We offer clear aligner consultations to patients from Douglas and across the Isle of Man.
What can clear aligners fix?
Aligners can treat crowded teeth, gaps, mild bite problems and teeth that have moved since earlier orthodontic treatment. They are one of several options for teeth straightening, and we will advise honestly if another approach would suit you better.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean and can reduce the risk of gum disease as well as improving appearance.
Your Invisalign journey
After an examination, we take digital scans to plan each tooth movement and show you a preview of the expected result. You then wear each set of aligners for around 22 hours a day, changing to the next set as directed, with regular review visits to check progress.
Because aligners are removable, you can eat normally and brush and floss as usual. Treatment time depends on your case, and many simpler cases take months rather than years.
Finishing your smile
Once teeth are straight, retainers keep them in position. Many patients finish with teeth whitening or minor composite bonding to perfect edges, as part of a complete cosmetic dentistry plan.
Teeth and gums must be healthy before starting, so new patients begin with a dental check-up. Call 01624 863422 to arrange an Invisalign consultation.
