Clear Aligners

Anyone who is reluctant to talk or smile in public without hiding their teeth, assuming this is not because of tooth loss, may be able to benefit from teeth straightening.

This can be undertaken at any age and adult treatment is growing rapidly, largely because it is now recognised for its role in improving self-confidence in patients who are unhappy with their appearance. As such, clear aligners – the most discreet way of straightening teeth – have become an important part of cosmetic dentistry.

At Starlite Dental Care we offer clear aligners by Smilelign®, and Invisalign®  system that uses incremental transparent aligners to adjust your teeth as an alternative to dental braces. Rather than using metal brackets and ugly wires to straighten your teeth, Smilelign® and Invisalign®is practically invisible, so people won’t even know you’re having your teeth straightened. Its advantages are that it is:

• Comfortable
• Easy to use
• Invisible
• Affordable
• Clinically effective

How does Smilelign®and Invisalign® work?

• Smilelign®   treatment is completed with a series of virtually invisible, removable aligners.
• Invisalign® treatment is completed with a series of virtually invisible, removable aligners.
• The aligners are changed every two to four weeks for the next stage and the process can take as little as 10 weeks, depending on the alterations required.
• Each aligner is carefully designed for your teeth and will move them in very small increments little by little, week by week.
• You will wear the clear aligners until they have moved your teeth to the final position prescribed by your dentist.

The treatment involves taking a mould of your teeth, which is used to create a digital tooth scan, and the computerised model suggests stages between the current and desired teeth positions, with aligners created for each stage. Each aligner is worn for 23 hours a day for two weeks on average .
