Invisalign Clear Braces in Wigan
Patients are often told that they can’t be treated with Invisalign® aligners, but the fact is up to 80% of orthodontic cases can be treated if the aligners are designed by an experienced Specialist Orthodontist like St Raphael’s Dr Puthri Raphy.
Invisalign® is the modern, custom-made adult alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of visible ‘train tracks’, you’ll own a series of clear, plastic aligners that will gradually correct crooked, crowded or gappy teeth and fix an uneven bite.
The Benefits of Invisalign®
Invisalign® offers you aligners that are:
- Virtually invisible, flexible, but strong
- Easily removable for brushing, flossing, eating and drinking
- Designed to fit your gum line for better comfort and appearance.
You’ll get the same results as traditional braces, without the self-conscious feeling.
The Invisalign® Treatment
First step is to book a consultation with Dr Puthri Raphy, who has trained for three additional years to gain Specialist Orthodontist Registration.
At this examination, you’ll discuss your smile goals and Dr Raphy will develop a computer model of your teeth and map out a plan for your treatment. Once you’ve reviewed and agreed the plan, your series of Invisalign® aligners will be produced.
You’ll wear each aligner for a prescribed number of weeks. Every aligner is slightly different and will gently move your teeth to a better position. During treatment, you’ll visit us regularly so that your progress can be monitored and your next set of aligners can be provided.
The Invisalign® Teen consultation and treatment is much the same as Invisalign®.
Teenagers can remove aligners during PE, to play an instrument or for special events, but should wear them 22 hours a day for best results. To help them, the aligners have dots that fade from blue to clear to show how much they’re worn.
As Invisalign® Teen isn’t available on the NHS, St Raphael’s can help you with interest-free finance over 12 months or low-cost loans payable over 12-60 months.
Prices for Invisalign® start from £1295
