Invisalign is fast becoming a household name due to it being a popular form of orthodontic treatment that utilises clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible since they are made from a transparent material (called SmartTrack material) and can be removed before you eat, clean your teeth or participate in sports. Here at Smile Dental Care Glasgow, we are proud to offer our patients treatment with Invisalign in Glasgow.

The Invisalign treatment process

So, what does the Invisalign in Glasgow treatment process look like? Well, it starts with an initial consultation with one of our dentists. During this consultation, we’ll examine your teeth and, in discussion with you, determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment option for you. If we decide it is, we can take some x-rays, photographs, and impressions – using a digital tool – of your teeth to generate a 3D image of your mouth.

These images can then be used to create your personal Invisalign in Glasgow treatment plan, and we will discuss the number of aligners you will need and how long we estimate your treatment will take. The images we have taken can then be used to aid the manufacturing of your aligners.

Once your aligners are ready, we will ask you to return to see us for a fitting. Our dentist will ensure that your first set of aligners fit properly and can show you how to care for them. You will need to wear each set of aligners for around two weeks (this can vary from patient to patient). We would recommend that you wear your aligners for approximately 20-22 hours each day.

Throughout the course of your treatment, you will have regular appointments with us to provide us with the opportunity to monitor your progress and make any adjustments as they may be needed. This will also be a great time for you to air any questions you may have for us about your Invisalign in Glasgow treatment process.

Advantages of treatment with Invisalign

One of the most recognised benefits of Invisalign aligners is their removability. You can take the aligners out when you eat, brush your teeth, or floss, which means you don’t have to change your diet or oral hygiene routine while undergoing treatment. This also means that you can continue enjoying your favourite foods and maintaining your oral health throughout your treatment. Invisalign aligners are made using advanced technology and precise measurements to ensure a comfortable fit and effective treatment.

Another benefit of Invisalign in Glasgow is that the aligners are made from smooth plastic, which makes them a comfortable and convenient option for many patients. The SmartTrack material from which Invisalign aligners are made is transparent; this is something particularly valued by patients undergoing treatment with Invisalign because often patients would like their treatment to be discreet.

Invisalign aligners could be a great option for you if you want to straighten your teeth. If you’re interested in Invisalign treatment with us at Smile Dental Care Glasgow, contact our dental practice today to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists.
