Invisalign

Have you always wanted straight teeth but don’t think you could manage braces?

Invisalign could be the solution you have been looking for. Invisalign is a revolutionary product that can be used to treat crowding or excess spacing of teeth, overbites, underbites and crossbites.

Invisalign consists of clear plastic aligners that are changed as your teeth begin to move. These aligners offer a clear and comfortable alternative to regular braces and are virtually invisible. Another benefit is that Invisalign is removable which makes cleaning easier; and because there are no wires, food can’t get caught in your teeth.

Once you visit your dentist and impressions have been made you will receive your aligners. You should wear your aligners at all times, (except when eating and drinking), in order to complete your treatment in the time determined by your orthodontist in your initial consultation.

You will need to go and see your orthodontist for regular checkups so they can monitor your progress and to receive your next set of aligners.

During the entire treatment process, you’ll be able to watch your teeth gradually moving into place. Your smile will, little by little, move into a healthy, natural, straight smile.

Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without braces. Book an appointment with Dr Ian Watson to see if Invisalign will work for you.

   NO NEED FOR MESSY IMPRESSIONS!

   One of the more recent and significant changes to the Invisalign process is the introduction of digital scanning techniques, as an alternative to submitting PVS impressions. Digital scans provide a more accurate dental record, allowing Dr Watson to make even more precise plans for your Invisalign treatment. No more unpleasant, out-dated impression techniques!

   State-of-the-Art-Science

   
   The Cadent iTero digital scanner uses laser and optical scanning to digitally capture the surface and contours of the tooth and gum structure. The data collected via a digital scan is more precise than conventional methods used for taking impressions, such as plaster models. The result - superior accuracy that you, the patient, Dr Watson and his staff can trust!

   Results you can see!

   
   
   The technical savvy of digital scans means that patients and dental practitioners are able to watch as the scanned detail of your teeth appears on screen. Your dental practitioner will be able to give you real-time feedback on any dental issues you might have.

   Improved dental protocols

   With digital scans, clinicians can avoid taking messy, and often uncomfortable, dental impressions. The process is simplified and streamlined, enabling accurate dental records in a more patient friendly and efficient manner. You can be in and out of your appointment in no time!
