Invisalign: Surviving and Thriving in the First Week….

While it can be exciting to get started, there is no doubt that there is definitely a learning curve when it comes to wearing Invisalign for the first time.

Anita’s Invisalign Journey

Anita presented in her final year of studies before moving to the U.S. Anita was unhappy with her smile and wanted to know we if we could correct things before she left in 12months time – nothing like a little time pressure!

Steph’s Invisalign Journey

Did you have braces as a teenager and have noticed that the teeth have started to go relapse in your 20’s? Don’t worry you are not alone! Relapse in the late teens early 20s can be very common without proper retention. The key is to get on to things as early as possible before the teeth have had a chance relapse further.

Layla’s Invisalign Journey

Layla saw me in London wanting to correct her upper canines, which she felt were too high and prominent. Because of her job, braces weren’t and option and neither were veneers so Invisalign was the option chosen

Anna’s Invisalign Journey

Anna presented wanting to discuss Invisalign to correct upper second front tooth which was in crossbite (sitting behind the lower tooth). Like many of our patients, Anna already had a friend who was having treatment at our practice so already knew a lot about the process.

Noorul’s Invisalign Journey

Noorul presented wanting to discuss Invisalign to correct upper second front tooth which was in crossbite (sitting behind the lower tooth).

Marcus’s Invisalign Journey

Marcus was referred to me by Invisalign. Marcus’s biggest complaint was the crowding of his upper and lower teeth that made cleaning difficult.

Jarryd’s Invisalign Journey

Like many of my patients, Jarryd came to see me to improve his smile – and specifically the crowding around his front teeth. From my perspective the challenge in getting a good result was going to be improving his deepbite

Jeremy’s Invisalign Journey

When I started doing Invisalign in 2008 this sort of case would have been very difficult to treat and I would warned Jeremy that he would be looking at 18-24months to achieve a good result. Fortunately Invisalign invests huge amounts into R&D every year and with the introduction of optimised attachments a 5years ago open bites are now quite straightforward to treat in most instances.

The Last 5% – Achieving the best with your Invisalign

When straightening teeth for teenagers it is often just a case of getting the teeth in the right position – but for adults there are a number of other factors that can determine whether ultimately you are happy with your smile or not.
