Invisalign® Clear Aligners at St. Leonards Square Dental Care

Want to straighten your smile without everyone knowing it? You can with Invisalign® treatment! Dr Andrew (Dentist) is a certified provider offering the clear aligner system here at St. Leonards Square Dental Care.

What Are Some Benefits?

These clear aligners have been well respected worldwide for over 20 years. As a digitally designed teeth straightening treatment, the trays are a comfortable, discreet and easy-to-use set of appliances that eliminate the need for irritating metal braces.

The transparent design of the aligner trays makes them practically invisible to the people around you. Since they are removable, patients can also enjoy a variety of foods and easily brush and floss their teeth each day.

The Consultation Process

If you’re considering these clear aligners, you’ll begin the process with a consultation with Dr Andrew. At this visit, we will evaluate your bite and jaw positioning, as well as the related positioning of your teeth. We will take an intraoral scan, plus a full mouth panoramic X-ray (OPG) to help us develop your treatment plan. Our dentist will send these images to Invisalign’s lab, where a virtual smile plan is created.

A couple of weeks later, you will return to our office to review your proposed treatment plan. A digital proposal of your progress will also be available to preview before committing to treatment.

What to Expect From Treatment

When you begin your treatment, several sets of aligners are provided at a time. You will want to wear each pair of aligners for 22 hours a day (only removing them during meals and brushing and flossing) and change them out every two weeks.

Dr Andrew will evaluate your progress every month or two to ensure your smile responds appropriately to treatment. On average, most patients complete their teeth straightening process in about nine months. You will then be given a pair of clear retainers to wear at night to preserve your results.

Who Makes an Ideal Candidate?

Adults and teens alike can enjoy discreet teeth straightening with this clear aligner treatment. The orthodontic system works best for individuals with mild to moderate issues, such as crowding, gaps or similar spacing issues.
