Are you looking to enhance your smile? Then you need to know about Invisalign in Surrey.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign in Surrey is a popular system of removable aligners designed to straighten your teeth discreetly. The aligners are almost invisible when they’re in place, so however self-conscious you might feel about wearing braces, you can realign your teeth without advertising the fact.
This means that Invisalign in Surrey is the perfect solution for anyone who has considering orthodontic treatment but may have been put off by the thought of fixed metal braces.
More than four million patients worldwide have already discovered the advantages of this modern alternative to traditional braces. So why not join them, and visit Portmore Dental?
How does Invisalign differ from other types of braces?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear braces are removable. We use software to make a series of bespoke aligners for you which are replaced every two or three weeks, as your teeth move closer to their new position.
It’s important that you wear the aligners consistently so they can work effectively. The fact that they are removable is convenient when you need to brush your teeth or eat, but you shouldn’t be tempted to take them out for lengthy periods.
The number of aligners you’ll need depends on how much work needs to be done to arrive at a solution that’s right for you. Once your treatment is finished you’ll need to use a removable retainer to keep your teeth in the correct position.
Invisalign process
Knowing exactly what to expect when you choose Invisalign will help you determine whether or not it’s the right option for you, so you can achieve a perfect, pin-straight smile in a few simple steps:
1.Your initial consultation
During an initial consultation with our team, our dentists will examine the condition of your teeth and gums to ensure that Invisalign is definitely the right option for you. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have about the treatment.
2. Moulding process
If you decide to go ahead with the Invisalign treatment after your initial consultation, the digital moulding process will commence.
This may happen during your first appointment, or your dentist will invite you back to the practice at a later date – depending on your schedule and their availability.
Digital scans, photographs, and x-rays create an accurate model of your mouth and teeth, which will be sent away to the Invisalign laboratory for your custom trays to be crafted.
3. Fitting the first tray
Your dentist will get in touch when your first set of trays is ready to collect.
They’ll show you how to use and wear them, and provide all the necessary information you need to take care of them.
4. Follow-up appointments
A few weeks after your first trays are fitted, you’ll be asked to return to check tooth movement and receive your second set of custom-fitted trays.
After some time, usually around 12-18 months, and a few different sets of aligners, you’ll be able to show off your new, perfectly straight smile!
How to get the most out of your Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign in Surrey is one of our most popular treatments, and for good reason – but it isn’t a magical fix for uneven or wonky teeth. It’s important therefore that you follow your dentists’ guidance in between appointments. This will ensure that you make the expected progress and can show off your new, straight smile before you know it.
You must wear the aligners consistently so they can work effectively. The fact that they are removable is convenient when you need to brush your teeth or eat, but you shouldn’t be tempted to take them out for lengthy periods.

Thanks to the subtle and discreet nature of Invisalign treatment, you can correct your smile, usually in a shorter timeframe and the best bit is nobody ever needs to know!
To find out whether Invisalign is the best treatment for you, get in touch with our team and book your free consultation.
Absolutely! Unlike braces which are best suited for those whose teeth are very out of place, Invisalign is designed to make small, incremental changes to improve the overall appearance of the smile.
So, if you have had braces before and your teeth have moved back out of place, we might be able to help!
One of the biggest benefits to opting for Invisalign is that they can be easily removed during eating, drinking and teeth brushing. That means that when it comes to maintaining a good oral hygiene routine, nothing has to change! We recommend that you brush your teeth after each meal to avoid your Invisalign trays from staining as a result of the food or drink you have consumed. Of course, it is equally important that you clean your Invisalign trays daily, and you can brush them with a toothbrush just like you would your own teeth.
The great thing about Invisalign is that it gets to work immediately and takes much less time to work when compared to braces. The duration of your Invisalign treatment will differ, depending on how much correction is needed, however typically treatment tends to last anywhere between 12 and 18 months.
We will be able to give you an idea of how long your treatment will take during those initial appointments.
