The connection between your smile and self-confidence is undeniable. Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you, and it plays a significant role in forming initial impressions. When you have a confident and radiant smile, it not only enhances your physical appearance but also signals to others that you are approachable, friendly, and self-assured.
It also has a huge impact on your confidence. If you’re not confident with your smile, you will find yourself smiling less. Smiling not only makes you more approachable, but it also releasing endorphins in your body that will lift your mood and make you feel happier.
On the flip side, dental issues that make you self-conscious about your smile can negatively impact your self-esteem. In this context, teeth straightening treatments can be transformative, aligning your teeth and giving you the confidence to smile freely, fostering positive interactions and boosting your overall self-assurance.
Here at Smileology in Kent, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in themselves and we love helping our patients get straighter teeth. This is why we offer Invisalign, an effective and discreet method of getting you straighter teeth and a beautiful smile.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a successful treatment using clear and removable retainers to get straighter teeth. Unlike traditional fixed braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating so that you can maintain your normal diet, and allow you to keep your usual oral hygiene routine. Invisalign is made from SmartTrack material which is flexible, comfortable and is laser trimmed around the gum line. The aligners need to be worn for 22 hours per day to be effective, but as they are comfortable and almost invisible this doesn’t feel difficult to achieve.
Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
As we’ve already mentioned, Invisalign braces are not the same as traditional braces. Here are the core differences between the two:
Aesthetics
Invisalign braces are near invisible while traditional braces are often visible, especially when you smile. This means with Invisalign braces you can still smile with confidence without any attention being bought to your teeth.
Comfort
Invisalign are made from SmartTrack material which is flexible, comfortable and laser trimmed to fit around your gums. This means they’re comfortable and often you will forget you’re wearing braces. This will only improve your self-confidence as you won’t have to contend with the discomfort of poking wires or tightened bands like you do with traditional braces.
Convenience
Invisalign braces are removable, meaning you can enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions, while brushing and flossing your teeth like you normally would. This differs with traditional braces where you need to avoid certain foods to not damage the braces.
Treatment Duration
Although the duration of an individual’s treatment may vary from another’s, Invisalign treatment is usually quicker than traditional braces. Meaning you can feel confident knowing that the perfect smile is just around the corner.
How does the process work?
The first step is to have a consultation with one of our Smileology dentists at Rochester or Maidstone, Kent. We will take you through a case assessment to check that you are suitable to have Invisalign treatment. We will then take X-rays and digital scans of your teeth. Using our state of the art technology we will create a digital treatment plan with a 3D video showing you the potential results. When you are ready to start your treatment, you will be given your first set of aligners to wear. You will be instructed on when to swap over to the next set, which is usually after a week or 2. We will see you for follow up appointments every 4-6 weeks to keep up to date with your progress, give you new aligners and answer any questions you may have.
How long will it take?
The treatment time differs between people and depends on the type and severity of the issue. On average, treatment takes 6 months with people often seeing a difference as early as 3 months. Our Invisalign dentists will be able to advise you on how long the treatment will be expected to take and updated at each check in appointment you have. Invisalign can be used to treat minor teeth problems to more extreme misalignment, so a timeline for treatment is created on an individual basis. When your treatment is finished you will be advised to wear a retainer to maintain your new beautiful smile.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of an invisalign treatment can differ depending on the dentist who’s delivering the treatment, but you can expect it to cost a minimum of £3,000 for the entire 6 month+ treatment. This will vary depending on if you want the removable retainers and if you just want a single arch to go through the treatment or your whole mouth. You can check out our current prices here. We also offer a finance plan to spread the cost over months rather than paying for it all up front.
