Invisalign

Are you looking for Invisalign in Sutton?

Invisalign is the leading clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth effectively and discreetly. As a modern alternative to traditional fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable, offering a contemporary path to a perfect smile.

What is Invisalign?

For many people, misaligned teeth can cause self-consciousness, especially when laughing or smiling. The idea of wearing metal braces or dealing with the inconvenience of traditional orthodontic treatments may not be appealing. If this sounds like you, Invisalign could be the perfect solution. This safe, simple and subtle teeth straightening system is designed to fit seamlessly into any lifestyle.

At our dental clinic in Sutton, serving Carshalton, Cheam, Wallington, and other parts of Surrey, our team is highly trained and experienced in providing Invisalign treatments, ensuring you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Benefits of Invisalign

• Aesthetics – Invisalign aligners are clear and thus almost invisible.
• Comfortable – each aligner is custom-made for the individual, for a perfect fit every time, with no hard metal or wires.
• Removable – life continues as normal allowing you to eat most things you like and remove the aligners for the odd special occasion.
• Better Oral Hygiene – being removable means you can continue to brush and floss as normal and do not risk decay or staining.
• Fewer Appointments – you are likely to have fewer visits during treatment compared to traditional fixed braces.
• Fast – you could get straight teeth in a shorter time than with traditional braces.
• Proven – Invisalign is used by patients all over the world and is the market leader in clear aligners.

Why should I straighten my teeth?

Teeth straightening offers numerous benefits at any age. Our patients not only feel a significant boost in confidence when they can show off a bright, perfectly aligned smile, but they also experience improved dental function. Straight teeth are less susceptible to damage or injury and have a reduced risk of fillings, gum disease, and other dental issues, as they are much easier to clean.

Digital Scanning for Invisalign

• Comfortable – at our dental clinic in Sutton, we use a state-of-the-art digital scanner to capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth, eliminating the need for uncomfortable, gooey materials for taking impressions, that many patients dislike.
• Highly accurate – to begin your Invisalign journey toward a beautiful new smile, we employ advanced 3D computer imaging to simulate your teeth’s future movements. This cutting-edge technology allows you to see a visual representation of your aligner treatment from start to finish through animated visuals, which can be conveniently viewed online.
• See your new smile first – the built-in Invisalign Outcome Simulator allows your Sutton Invisalign dentist to plan your teeth straightening treatment and show your plan side by side with your current teeth, so you can see the outcome even before your treatment starts.

What Can Invisalign Correct?

Here is a guide to how Invisalign can be a solution for various dental issues. For a personal assessment, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our dentists.

• Crossbite: a crossbite occurs when one or more teeth in the upper jaw bite on the inside of the lower teeth, typically due to misalignment of both jaws. This condition can lead to tooth wear, bone loss, and gum disease.
• Crowded Teeth: crowding happens when there isn’t enough space in the upper or lower jaws for all your teeth to align properly, causing them to overlap or become crooked. Crowded teeth are challenging to clean effectively, often leading to plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay.
• Overbite (deep bite): an overbite, or deep bite, is when the upper teeth excessively cover the lower teeth. This can result in gum problems, wear on the lower teeth, and jaw joint issues.
• Gapped Teeth: gaps between teeth may arise from abnormal jawbone growth or missing teeth that cause neighbouring teeth to move. Gapped teeth can contribute to gum issues and periodontal disease.
• Open Bite: an open bite occurs when some upper and lower teeth do not touch each other. This can be caused by genetic factors, poor chewing habits, or excessive thumb-sucking, and may affect both appearance and function.
• Underbite: an underbite is when the lower jaw protrudes due to insufficient growth of the upper jaw or missing upper teeth. This can interfere with the normal function of the front teeth and cause jaw pain.

If you have any of these conditions, Invisalign may be an effective solution. Book an Invisalign consultation to find out if it’s right for you.
