The discreetly different option

At Smile Dental Care Glasgow all we want is to see happy and healthy smiles on the faces of all our patients. We understand that having slightly overlapping, crooked or gappy teeth can have a detrimental impact on your self-esteem and willingness to smile broadly. So for anyone who is dissatisfied with the alignment of their smiles, we strongly recommend that you speak with one of our professional practitioners about getting Invisalign in Glasgow.

Over our practice’s years of dental service to the Glasgow area and beyond, we’ve used the Invisalign aligner method to help countless patients of every age correct the evenness of their teeth, and maximise the aesthetics and visual impact of their smiles. We can help anyone who needs it if they simply book an initial Invisalign consultation at our practice.

What does getting Invisalign in Glasgow involve?

If you’ve decided to do something proactive about any crooked or overlapping teeth you may have by getting Invisalign in Glasgow from us here at our practice, the first thing which we will do is carry out an initial dental examination to determine your eligibility.

Despite Invisalign’s universally praised success, not all types of orthodontic misalignments can be treated through Invisalign, which is why we must first assess the type of orthodontic problems you have before treatment can begin. Additionally, certain underlying dental problems such as gingivitis, periodontal disease, decay or abscesses can stand in the way of Invisalign’s success and therefore must be identified and rectified before we can begin treatment.

If no dental obstacles are evident and you are deemed eligible for Invisalign after this dental examination, we can then take the impressions we’ll need to construct your unique set of Invisalign trays using our cutting-edge Trios Scanner, which digitally scans your tooth shape without the need for any gooey or uncomfortable physical moulds to be taken.

Once you’ve discussed the Invisalign process extensively with one of our experts and made a decision about which package you would like, we can then use our ClinCheck technology to create a highly detailed and accurate digital impression of how your teeth will shift throughout your Invisalign treatment and show you what the end results will be.

After you have seen the results of the scan we will then create your customised aligners and give them to you to take home and begin your treatment over the next 6-12 months.

How does Invisalign straighten crooked teeth?

One of the main reasons that so many people of all ages are increasingly choosing Invisalign treatment for minor visible orthodontic problems is due to the treatment’s discreet and cosmetic nature. Every custom-made retainer is built to fit perfectly over its owner’s teeth and makes use of carefully positioned structural grooves, pressure points and ridges within its interior to push certain teeth into shape.

Because these Invisalign trays are wafer-thin and built purely from transparent plastic, they are almost totally undetectable when worn. Additionally, because the treatment is not attached to your mouth anywhere, patients who choose Invisalign can remove their aligners at their own discretion – which is something that very few other orthodontic treatments can offer.
