Dr. Francesca Dash, in our Nottingham practice, achieved this prestigious status as the first UK woman to do so, and has transformed over 3,000 smiles with Invisalign.

Invisalign aligners are designed to be comfortable, especially compared to traditional metal braces. They are made from smooth, clear plastic that fits snugly over your teeth without causing irritation to your gums or the inside of your mouth. You may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when you first start wearing a new set of aligners, as your teeth begin to shift. However, this sensation is usually temporary and indicates that the aligners are working to move your teeth. Overall, most people find Invisalign aligners to be a more comfortable and less noticeable option for orthodontic treatment.

Yes, you can remove your Invisalign aligners. In fact, they are designed to be easily taken out for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. However, to achieve the best results, it’s important to wear the aligners for the majority of the day - typically 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them when necessary and be sure to follow your dentist’s instructions on how long to wear each set of aligners and how to care for them.

The iTero scanner significantly improves the Invisalign process by removing the need for sticky, uncomfortable impressions. It provides a highly accurate digital model of your mouth, which not only makes the process more comfortable but also ensures greater precision in creating your Invisalign braces. The scanner helps us design aligners that are custom-fitted to your mouth and apply the exact amount of pressure needed to move your teeth into alignment. Additionally, it produces 'after' images of your anticipated results before you even start wearing the aligners, guiding the lab in crafting your progressive aligners.

Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. The process begins with a consultation, where your dentist takes digital scans of your teeth and creates a detailed 3D treatment plan. Based on this plan, a series of aligners is made specifically for your teeth, with each aligner designed to shift your teeth incrementally.

‍

You wear each set of aligners for about 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your dentist, before moving on to the next set in the series. Throughout the treatment, you'll have regular check-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. By the end of the process, your teeth should be aligned according to your treatment goals, and retainers may be recommended to help maintain your new smile.

Invisalign can address a range of dental issues, including crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, and various types of bite problems. It is effective for straightening teeth that are misaligned or improperly positioned, closing gaps or spaces, and correcting overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Invisalign can also help with crowded teeth by gradually shifting them into their correct positions. Your dentist will evaluate your specific needs and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you during your initial consultation with us in Nottingham.
