Straighten teeth discreetly with Invisalign braces in Dunstable

Invisalign is the revolutionary way to straighten teeth discreetly. Made from a series of clear, plastic aligners, they sit comfortably over the top of your teeth.

Unlike conventional braces, there’s no brackets or wires which can dig into your mouth, meaning Invisalign is a more comfortable way to straighten teeth. Invisalign is so discreet that most people won’t even realise you’re having your teeth straightened.

Wear your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day and take them out to eat, drink and brush your teeth. This form of teeth straightening is more hygienic and it’s easier to take care of your teeth and gums too.

Invisalign has been used by hundreds of patients throughout Bedfordshire including Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Sewell and Totternhoe to straighten teeth. Invisalign can also help to space out crowded teeth, close gaps between teeth, move protruding teeth and correct most bite problems.

How do Invisalign braces work in Dunstable?

Consultation and Scan

At your first consultation, we’ll assess your teeth and mouth and discuss what you’d like to achieve with your smile.

We’ll then take digital images of your teeth using Invisalign’s special iTero scanner. These give 3D images show how your teeth look now and how they will look as they move through to their straightened position.

This clever technology enables you to see how your teeth will look before you even begin wearing Invisalign braces.

Treatment plan and creation of your Invisalign aligners

The 3D images of your teeth form your treatment plan and are used to create your bespoke Invisalign aligners.

Once your aligners are ready, they are sent back to Dunstable Dental Practice. We will invite you back to show you how to wear and remove your aligners and give you several packs of aligners upfront.

Wear your Invisalign aligners

You wear each set of aligners for a minimum of 22 hours per day for a set amount of time, usually a week, as prescribed by your dentist.

After this time, you move on to the next set of Invisalign aligners in the series. Each set of aligners is slightly different from the last and this allows for the gradual movement in your teeth.

We ask you back to the dental practice in Dunstable occasionally to check on your progress and provide you with more aligners.

You continue wearing your Invisalign aligners, removing them only to eat, drink and brush your teeth until you reach the last set of aligners in the series. Your teeth have by now reached their final position and you can show off your lovely new smile.

Benefits of Invisalign braces at Dunstable Dental Practice

Patients from Houghton Regis, Dunstable, Totternhoe, Sewell and throughout Bedfordshire are choosing Invisalign to straighten teeth because:

 

  • Made from clear, thin plastic, Invisalign aligners are practically invisible, meaning that most people won’t even realise you’re wearing braces
  • These removable braces make them a more hygienic way to straighten teeth. You take the aligners out to eat, drink and brush your teeth
  • Invisalign can treat a range of issues including crooked, overcrowded, gappy or protruding teeth
  • There are no brackets or wires with Invisalign, instead these plastic aligners act like mouthguards as they sit over the top of your teeth which makes them a far more comfortable way to straighten teeth
  • There are less trips to visit your dentist when having your teeth straightened with Invisalign and this is because we give you plenty of aligners up front and only check in with you occasionally to make sure that treatment is on track

FAQ's for Invisalign

What shall I do with the Invisalign aligners that I have already worn? Can I throw them away?

We would advise you to hang on to the set of aligners that you have just worn, and this is in case you break or damage the next in the set of Invisalign aligners.

What should I do if I break or lose my Invisalign aligners?

If you break, damage or lose your Invisalign braces, call Dunstable Dental Practice and talk to us. Your dentist may want to see you or depending on where you are in the cycle of wearing your aligners, you may be advised to move on to the next set or resort to the previous set in the series.

Do I have to remove my Invisalign aligners to drink?

We advise only drinking cold water with your Invisalign aligners in. Any other liquids are likely to stain your braces causing them to become conspicuous and unhygienic. You should never eat with your aligners in your mouth as you’re likely to chew straight through them and break them.

This was a great check up

I have given five stars for the treatment that I received from my dental practice. I was seen by a new Dentist, his name is Adam, and he was very informative and we came to a decision together regarding a tooth that is loose. He is attentive, he actually listened to me and my situation. Thank you very much, Adam. Look forward to seeing you next Monday take care Libby.

We’ve been lucky enough to have thr same dentist for nearly ten years. My boys have grown up going and feel
Comfortable. What you get at the visit (no cleaning ) has dropped to just a basic check up now - but I think that’s all dentists!
Luena C.
A very positive experience. The dentist was patient and caring, and explained everything during the treatment. I felt safe and well looked after. I would definitely recommend.
Fouzia F.
Very professional. Timing is always perfect. They are willing to answer any questions. Always helpful.
Chris R.
I visited the dentist yesterday and, as always, was treated in a very friendly and efficient manner by the reception staff. Appointment was delayed by about 10 minutes because Mr Shah had to fit in an emergency, but it's good to know he would do that. Treatment by Mr Shah was excellent, he showed knowledge of my rare disease and made allowances for my requirements.
Keith M.
Everything about this surgery is excellent. The front desk staff are always courteous and helpful and the excellent dentistry is delivered in a friendly and professional manner. I have been a patient of Danyel for many years and after moving to Cornwall, I now make 600 mile round trips rather than changing to another surgery or dentist.

As always, the reception was warm and cheerful, and the treatment likewise. Never left in doubt as to what had been undertaken, and always left with a clear picture of what is required of me as the patient, and what future care was needed.

Since being absolutely traumatised from a root canal treatment I had here 10 plus yrs ago that was never right but I was too scared to go back and get it sorted. Finally Adam successfully took my crown off and is replacing it for me. He knows how scared I am and reassured me so much. To have trust again in someone is huge for me. I’m just gutted I didn’t go back after it was first done as it was never right and looked hideous. Unfortunately can’t have a white one now due to finance but it has to be better than what I had. Adam you can’t ever leave 😂 I have my trust in you and now my children also. Adam has been doing my checkups for a while now which built up my courage to get this tooth sorted. Thank you for being so patient with me and understanding my worries. You are a credit to the dental practice.
