Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners that are changed every couple of weeks to move the teeth gradually, with no metal braces. FROE offers complete treatment of both dental arches, planned digitally and reviewed at orthodontic appointments. The aligners are nearly invisible and taken out to eat and clean, which many adults prefer over fixed braces for correcting crowding, gaps and bite issues.

Invisalign is a system of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that fit closely over the teeth and move them little by little towards a planned position. Each set of aligners is worn for a couple of weeks before moving to the next in the series, and over the course of treatment the teeth are guided gradually into better alignment. Because the aligners are transparent and removable, the treatment is discreet and lets you eat, brush and floss normally, which makes it a popular choice for adults who would rather not wear fixed metal braces. At FROE treatment begins with an orthodontic consultation and records, from which a digital plan of how the teeth will move is prepared and the custom aligners are produced. You wear them for most of the day and night, removing them only to eat and to clean your teeth, and attend periodic reviews so progress can be checked and the next aligners issued. Invisalign can address common issues such as crowding, spacing, and certain bite problems; very complex cases may be better suited to other approaches, which the clinic will discuss. Success depends heavily on wearing the aligners for the recommended hours each day. Once the teeth are in their final position, a retainer or positioner is used to hold them there, as teeth can otherwise drift over time. The clinic quotes complete treatment of both arches as a single fee, with the consultation and retainer itemised separately, and will confirm whether you are a suitable candidate at the assessment.
