How Invisalign works
Your Invisalign treatment in Lake Haven begins with an initial consultation. During this appointment, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, and bite to confirm suitability for treatment. If appropriate, we’ll create a customised treatment plan using 3D digital scans, showing you a preview of how your smile will develop.
Once approved, your first set of Invisalign aligners will be produced. These removable aligners are worn for 20–22 hours daily and changed every 1–2 weeks, depending on progress. Each stage gently guides your teeth closer to their ideal position until the treatment is complete.
Invisalign vs traditional braces
Invisalign aligners are a great option for patients who want straighter teeth without the challenges of braces. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss.
Invisalign can effectively treat many orthodontic issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Overbite, underbite, and open bite
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor jaw misalignments.
For complex cases, braces may still be the better option. Our dentists will discuss your condition and recommend the treatment most likely to achieve the best results.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of treatment can vary depending on your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Most patients complete Invisalign treatment within 12–18 months, though some start noticing changes in just a few weeks.
Your dentist will review your progress every 6–8 weeks, supply your next set of aligners, and make any adjustments needed to keep your treatment on track.
Costs and payment options
The cost of Invisalign treatment in Lake Haven will vary depending on the complexity of your condition and the number of aligners required. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs and discuss payment options. We aim to help every patient access the dental health treatment they need for a smile they love.
