Our Step-by-Step Invisalign Process
- One of our experienced dentists conducts a thorough examination of your teeth, ensuring Invisalign treatment is a suitable cosmetic dentistry choice for you.
- Next, we use of non-invasive iTero Dental Scanner to take a detailed, 3D impression of your teeth. This advanced technology replaces the need for traditional putty moulds and offers a comfortable and instantly accurate digital alternative.
- Following your scan, we’ll map out your teeth straightening journey from their current position to the desired outcome – giving you complete visibility, every step of the way.
- A series of custom-made, clear aligners are then created to fit snuggly over your teeth. These exert ‘controlled pressure’ which gradually shifts your teeth without causing any noticeable pain or discomfort.
- Most patients will transition to new aligners every two to three weeks, in order to progress the transformation.
- Regular check-ins with your dentist can be scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
- After the treatment plan is complete, a retainer is provided to maintain the teeth’s new position and ensure that the results last.
Results of our Invisalign Treatment – Before and After
The Benefits of Using Invisalign Aligners
When meeting new people, one of the first things many notice is their teeth. Straight teeth are often associated with positive impressions, with people who have them being seen as happier, healthier, and even smarter. Additionally, those with well-aligned teeth are more likely to be viewed as successful and well-off. These perceptions highlight the benefits of having a confident, straight smile, which Invisalign treatment can help achieve by discreetly straightening teeth and enhancing your overall appearance.
Improved Oral Health
It is easier to clean your teeth. Having crooked teeth creates hidden areas that are hard to brush. Eventually leads to plaque building up and bacteria multiplying faster. Therefore, having straighter teeth makes brushing and flossing easier. Leading to better oral hygiene.
Increased Self-Esteem
Many research reports have found that having crooked teeth reduce a person’s self-esteem. When someone smiles less and feels embarrassed this can impact their mental health and social confidence. Improving your smile through teeth straightening could potentially lead to new friendships, improved relationships, and a boost within a career.
Improved Bite
Once teeth are straight, fewer muscles are required to bite. However, with crooked teeth, they move against each other causing wear and tear. Leading to tooth enamel erosion, discoloration, sensitivity, and pain. Straight teeth allow you to eat well by chewing and biting correctly.
Correlation To Longer Life
In a recent study, a direct correlation was found between tooth infections and decay and coronary artery disease. There is also evidence that shows a link between gum disease and lung cancer. Therefore, straightening your teeth and maintaining good dental hygiene can impact your life expectancy.
Prevent Jaw Pain
In some cases, crowded teeth can put pressure on your gums, jaw, and supporting bone. In time, this can lead to frequent headaches or ear and neck pain, among other problems. When you straighten your teeth, you can achieve the correct jaw alignment, which in turn means that your jaw muscles are more relaxed and can work properly.
Suitable For Teens and Adults
Invisalign’s versatility resonates across a wide range of ages. Whether you’re a teenager negotiating the complexities of adolescence or an adult in the professional sphere, Invisalign aligners are tailored to suit the lifestyles and aesthetic preferences of both teens and adults alike.

After having choosing Grosvenor to complete my Invisalign treatment, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I had a slight phobia of dentists and had neglected my teeth for a number of years as a result. The team at Grosvenor made me feel really comfortable and put me at ease immediately. The Invisalign treatment itself was relatively painless and stress free. As mentioned earlier, I’d highly recommend speaking to the team if you’re considering any dental treatment. Thanks guys!
Great dental practice with a friendly and professional approach throughout. I had an Invisalign treatment which resulted in a natural change to my teeth alignment in sympathy to my request and expectations. Thank you.
I’ve been coming to Grosvenor dental practice all of my life and I have always been happy with their service. Over the last 10 months Ive had my teeth straightened with Invisalign and whitened. I am extremely happy with the results and love my new but natural looking teeth. I wanted my teeth straightened ahead of my wedding and once again the practice hit all my expectations. My teeth were slow to move however the practice did an excellent job at booking my appointments to achieve the desired results ahead of my big day. My wife also had Invisalign with Grosvenor dental practice and we are both over the moon with our smiles in our wedding photos. Thank you Dr Gill and all the staff for their ongoing excellent service.
