INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS

The exact cost will depend on your orthodontic requirements and how many aligners you will need to achieve your desired results. Please see our Fees page for how much Invisalign treatment approximately costs in Epping, Essex, but for a detailed costing based on your bespoke treatment plan, please book a consultation at The Specialist Orthodontic Practice.

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that offers you the choice of wearing a clear and removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth. The treatment is completely bespoke and uses a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners which help shift the position of the teeth. Invisalign in Epping, Essex with The Specialist Orthodontic Practice team can take from as little as four months and can be easily removed when eating and brushing your teeth.

There is no official minimum age limit for Invisalign Teen treatment, but patients must have most of their adult teeth and be old enough to adhere to the regimen of wearing the aligners for 22 hours a day. It is an individual decision – some preteens will meet these requirements, and some teenagers will not.

Because your Invisalign treatment is bespoke and will differ from other people’s plans, the timing of your office visits vary from patient to patient. However, people undergoing Invisalign treatment typically need to visit their orthodontist every four to six weeks or so.

Everyone’s Invisalign treatment plan is unique, so treatment lengths can take from three months to 18 months. For example, if you want to correct some slight crowding, then you can expect to see fast results. Whereas, for more complex bite conditions, the length of time can extend to 12 or 18 months.

We recommend wearing the Invisalign aligners for about 22 hours a day. They are designed to be comfortable and nearly invisible, making it easy to wear them as you do everyday activities. You will only need to remove the aligners to eat, brush your teeth and to clean them. At The Specialist Orthodontic Practice in Epping, Essex we will give you a step-by-step plan on how to use the Invisalign clear aligners.

When compared to other orthodontic treatments, Invisalign aligners are less painful than traditional metal braces. The discomfort you might experience with Invisalign will feel like an uncomfortable, tight squeezing sensation around your teeth. However, this is typically a normal and mild experience only during the first day or so of wearing each new set of aligners. There are no wires to hurt your gums or cheeks.
