Invisible braces in Luton: a step-by-step guide

If you have been wondering whether invisible braces are the right treatment for you, then you may wish to know more about this treatment.

At Vogue Dental Care, we are certified providers of invisible braces in Luton. More specifically, we use Invisalign to help our patients regain their smile without changing their lifestyle. Treatment with invisible braces in Luton is comfortable and relaxing. Our experienced dentists will help you feel at ease during every stage of the treatment, providing as much information as possible on the steps involved.

First step – book your consultation

To ensure that you are a good candidate for invisible braces in Luton, you should undergo an Invisalign assessment. This will enable our dentists to determine if you can benefit from this treatment. Invisalign is a good match for many people – however, some limitations apply. Children and young teenagers are not eligible for this procedure. Moreover, patients with heavily crooked, twisted and misaligned teeth cannot benefit from Invisalign.

Second step – virtual treatment plan and Invisalign aligners

Once our dentists give you the green light to proceed with Invisalign, we will take digital impressions of your teeth, which we will send to the Invisalign laboratories. These impressions have a dual purpose – not only will they be used as a basis for the creation for your aligners, but also they will help your dentist to create a personalised treatment plan, where all the movements of your teeth will be detailed in advance.

The virtual treatment plan will help you see how your teeth will look at every stage of the treatment. Once your aligners are ready, your dentist will give them to you along with personalised instructions.

The number of Invisalign aligners that you will need to wear throughout your treatment depends on many factors including how complex your dental issue is. Usually, you will have one aligner for a week to 10 days.

Third step – enjoy the journey to your new smile

Invisalign aligners are very comfortable to wear and are very discreet since they are made of transparent plastic. Moreover, since they can be removed, you will be able to eat and clean your teeth as you normally would.
