What is Invisalign®?

It’s no exaggeration to say that Invisalign® is the world’s leading transparent aligner system.

It’s the ultimate option for anyone who doesn’t want a traditional metal brace and the hassle that can sometimes go with having one.

Invisalign® is a set of custom transparent aligners which are changed every 2 weeks by you. The aligners are worn in a precise sequence and each one moves your teeth a step closer towards being straighter. With Invisalign®, you can achieve a straighter set of teeth in just 12 months (though for more complex cases this may take 18 months).

Invisalign® Benefits

Eat whatever you like

One of the biggest turn-offs for patients when they hear about metal braces, is that eating with them can be a pain. With Invisalign®, you’ll simply be able to take the aligner out, and eat as normal. You have a 2-hour window every day during which you can take the aligners out.

Brush without Barriers

We won’t mince words – metal braces make tooth brushing difficult, obstructing your tooth surfaces and making the process take longer. With Invisalign®, simply take the aligner out, and brush like normal, saving you effort and time.

Invisible Aligners

Whilst Invisalign® aligners aren’t totally invisible (if only!) they are pretty close to being so. The transparent plastic is incredibly hard to discern (unless you have superhuman eyesight), so people are unlikely to even notice you are wearing the aligners.

See your smile before you start

Using our state-of-the-art ClinCheck software, we can show you how your smile will look by the end of treatment, and the various movements they will go through to get there.

What To Expect

Chat with your Dentist

We’ll also need to check you don’t have any hidden issues like decay or gum disease before moving forward – as responsible dentists, we never go ahead with elective treatment like Invisalign® until your teeth have undergone a full MOT to check for any issues.

Your dentist will let you know what to expect with Invisalign®, and once you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll take digital photos and scans of your teeth. These are used to make your custom made aligners.

Wearing your Aligners + Check-ups

When your aligners are ready, you can take them home to start wearing them. We will need to see you every 6-8 weeks for check-ups during the treatment period.

Retainer

Once you’ve finished wearing the aligners and your smile is nice and straight, we’ll give you a retainer to wear to stop your teeth from moving out of position.

Why Choose Us?

At Bancroft Dentistry, we’re ideally placed as an established Invisalign® practice to provide this service to you.

Dr Drisna Gorasia will carefully assess your orthodontic needs (straightening teeth) and guide you through
the whole process (without a word of dental jargon) to safely get you to your new straighter smile.

In some cases, a simple scan will ascertain how long your treatment should take and we can get you started there and then!

What can Invisalign® fix?

Crowded teeth

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.

Gaps between teeth

Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.

Open bite

An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.

Underbite

An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly

Overbite

An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.

Crossbite

A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.

FAQs

1. Is Invisalign® better than regular braces?

Regular metal braces are effective, and for many people, they’re a viable solution, especially if you need treatment for complex bite issues – Invisalign® isn’t suited to severe issues.

If you’re someone who wants minimal fuss when it comes to eating and brushing, Invisalign® is for you. It’s also a good choice if you don’t want your brace to drawn attention, as it’s made of transparent plastic and sits snugly against your teeth out of view.

I have found the practice to be very professional in both the dentistry work that I’ve had done and hygienist. The practice staff are always pleasant, courteous and polite.I’ve been a patient at this practice now for three years and I’m extremely happy with the treatment have received. I would recommend this practice.

I can’t thank Bancroft Dentistry enough for helping me on my dental health journey! Everyone is so lovely and for someone who has always been very nervous of going to the dentist they always make me feel very at ease. The practice is very nice and you are treated really well! Thank you so much to Drisna and Zoe for treating me.

As a very nervous patient - and new to Bancroft, I am so very grateful to have found such an incredible dental practice… What stands out is the client care (as well as the hi-tech and incredibly experienced staff). A huge thank you to Sue whose FoH is exceptional and a dying art - to Lauren, Andy and Spencer who made my dental experience easy breezy… Thank you also to the dental nurses who are gentle and kind.

I cannot recommend Bancroft Dentistry highly enough. I spent many hours researching a practice that would meet my needs . It is spotlessly clean, modern and strikes that wonderful balance between being highly professional and exceptionally friendly. I was a complete nervous wreck when I first met Frank and his team. He took the time to reassure me , explaining in detail what treatment I needed at every visit . Nothing was too much trouble , as long as I was comfortable . I have now had several procedures and I am absolutely delighted with my new smile . From the lovely receptionist , nurses , anaesthetist you will not find a more caring and knowledgeable surgery. The quality of their work is outstanding . Even if you are petrified of the dentist I guarantee this wonderful team will help to take your fear away as well as offering top class dental work.

I have been visiting Bancroft for over 10 years now, despite now not living locally I still come back every year. From the orthodontics I had done initially to my annual check up, the service is great & I always feel comfortable visiting. All the staff are very welcoming & friendly.

I visited Sophie for the first time last week and she immediately put me at ease with her friendly and warm manner. She talked me through exactly what she was going to do and gave excellent advice. My next appointment is already booked and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I had an appointment with Lauren for Botox at Bancroft and was extremely happy with the treatment. The friendly greeting from the reception staff made me feel very welcome into their beautiful practice. Lauren covered all areas of information in detail in her treatment room. She made sure I understood the procedure and the expectations. She is confident and made me feel relaxed, her depth of knowledge really put me at ease. She followed up the appointments as she said she would. Lauren takes pride in her work and cares for her patients, she is very professional and I could not be happier with my results.
