Today, we’re excited to dive into a topic that’s revolutionised the world of orthodontics – Invisalign. At Solutions Dental Clinic, we’ve helped countless patients achieve their dream smiles with this innovative treatment. If you’re considering straightening your teeth but aren’t keen on traditional metal braces, Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. Let’s explore what Invisalign is all about and why it’s become such a popular choice here in Winchester.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These custom-made aligners are:
– Nearly invisible when worn
– Removable for eating and cleaning
– Comfortable and smooth, with no metal brackets or wires
– Custom-designed for your unique smile
The Invisalign process is a marvel of modern dental technology:
1. 3D Imaging: We start by taking detailed 3D scans of your teeth.
2. Treatment Planning: Using specialised software, we plan out the movement of your teeth from start to finish.
3. Custom Aligners: A series of aligners are created based on this plan.
4. Progressive Treatment: You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.
5. Gradual Movement: Over time, your teeth gently shift into their desired positions.
When you choose Invisalign at our Winchester clinic, here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your smile and discuss your goals to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2. 3D Scan: We use state-of-the-art intraoral scanners to create a 3D model of your teeth – no messy impressions needed!
3. Treatment Preview: We’ll show you a digital simulation of how your teeth will move throughout the treatment.
4. Custom Aligners: Your aligners are crafted based on your personalised treatment plan.
5. Regular Check-ups: We’ll see you every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and provide your next sets of aligners.
6. Refinement: If needed, we can make adjustments towards the end of your treatment to ensure the best results.
7. Retention: Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your new smile.
Invisalign offers numerous advantages over traditional braces:
1. Aesthetics: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly.
2. Comfort: The smooth plastic aligners don’t irritate your cheeks and gums like metal braces can.
3. Removability: You can take them out for eating, drinking, and special occasions.
4. Easier Oral Hygiene: Brushing and flossing are much simpler without brackets and wires in the way.
5. Fewer Dietary Restrictions: Unlike with traditional braces, you can eat all your favourite foods.
6. Predictable Results: Advanced computer modelling allows us to predict and plan your treatment with great accuracy.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
– Crowded teeth
– Gaps between teeth
– Overbites and underbites
– Crossbites
– Open bites
It’s suitable for both teens and adults. However, it may not be the best option for very complex orthodontic cases. During your consultation at Solutions Dental Clinic, we’ll assess whether Invisalign is the right choice for you.

Proper care of your aligners is crucial for the success of your treatment:
1. Clean Your Aligners: Rinse them every time you remove them and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush.
2. Remove for Eating and Drinking: Always take out your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water.
3. Wear Them 20-22 Hours a Day: Consistency is key for the best results.
4. Store Properly: When not in use, keep your aligners in their case to prevent loss or damage.
5. Don’t Use Hot Water: Hot water can warp the plastic, affecting the fit of your aligners.

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your great work, I really never thought I could have a smile like the one you have given me, unless of course I spent a lot more money than I have.
Having reached the end of my major implant treatment I must compliment you both, and your staff, on the excellent standards of patient care that you have provided.
Thank you for my new dentures, made and fitted with a minimum of appointments,
excellent service and attention, highly recommended, money and time well spent.
Firstly thank you so very much for my new dentures which will completely transform my life going forward. Having completely given up on dentist after many a bad experience it came to the point where I needed to find a solution as my teeth became loose and we're falling out, this coupled with being very very nervous led me on my search.
