It easily fits over the top of your own teeth and is comfortable, even better than a retainer. The 3D printed aligners are designed to move your teeth into a new, straight position.

What do you need to do?
Finding out about Invisalign Hertfordshire is a lot easier than you think. Booking a free consultation at our practice is possible either by phone or online. Our dental practitioners will be able to assess your teeth and begin your treatment with a 3D scan. They will send off your digital scan and photos to create a personalised smile simulation. After viewing and approving your personalised smile simulation, your custom-made aligners will be 3D printed and returned around 7 to 10 days.
You will have several sets of aligners to wear, and it is important that you wear each set for the right length of time and in the right order. Usually, you will have to wear each set for around 7 days, but this can vary from patient to patient. You have to wear your aligners for at least twenty-two hours a day, but they can be easily removed for both eating and cleaning, which adds to their convenience.
You will start to notice a change in your teeth sooner than you think. Treatment time will depend upon how many aligners you require to resolve your problem. Some cases can be more severe than others and it will take longer to move your teeth into their desired positions. Regular short review appointments with your dentist will be necessary to ensure that the teeth are moving correctly.
On completion one of our dentists will provide you with a retainer to wear. You will need to wear your retention aligner for a minimum of three months full time and then to wear the retainer for a minimum of 10 hours during the night for as long as you want to keep your teeth straight. This is to prevent your teeth from returning to their crooked positions over time.
