We are proud to be able to offer the Invisalign® system of invisible braces for both adults and teenagers.

• The system has the advantage of being nearly invisible so that no one can tell you are straightening your teeth.
• Invisalign ® is removeable so you can eat and drink what you want, brushing and flossing is not a problem.
• Invisalign ® is comfortable, because there is no metal or wires to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
• It consists of a series of clear, removeable aligners that position your teeth in the desired postion. Each set of aligners is worn for about 2 weeks and your teeth will gradually move each week.
• The average number of aligners you wear is between 18 and 30. Your total treatment time is only about 6 - 15 months.
• Invisalign Express can be used to treat just the very front teeth over a period of as little as 10 weeks
• Invisalign ® is appropiate for patients who have fully erupted teeth.

Invisalign ® can be used to treat the following:-

• Teeth that are too narrow
• Teeth with spaces bewteen them
• Teeth with narrow arches
• Teeth that may have moved having previously worn conventional braces.
• Some teenage orthodontic problems

The process is extremely straighforward.

• Firstly your mouth is assessed for your suitablity for Invisalign® treatment.
• Secondly, if you are suitable, a full set of photographs of your teeth from various angles are taken along with a detailed X-ray of your teeth and jaw bones. A detailed mould of your mouth is made to show the current position of your teeth. These detailed records are sent by courier to Invisalign's® treatment planning facility in California along with a detailed description of the treatment aims.
• Invisalign® then produce a detailed 3-D computer generated image of your mouth along with a detailed 3-D animation showing the proposed finished position of your teeth. This 3-D image is sent back electronically to the practice computer system and at your next appointment you are able to view the animation and the proposed view of your teeth from various angles.
• Once we are all happy with the proposed treatment plan, the aligners are precision made by a fully computerised manufacturing process resulting in custom made aligner sets just for you. These are shipped to the practice and you pick them up in batches approximately every six weeks when we check the progress of your new smile.

Invisalign is available at the Belton practice site. For further information and to book a consultation please contact us.

Dr Newton is now approved to use the revolutionary new Invisalign Teen® aligner system specificaly developed to treat teenagers which can be used even if all the teeth have not yet erupted. Please contact us for details.
