What Makes Invisalign So Popular?
Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign uses a series of transparent, custom-made aligners that gradually guide your teeth into better alignment.
Here’s why patients love it:
-
- Discreet: The aligners are virtually invisible when worn.
- Removable: Take them out for meals, brushing and special occasions.
- Comfortable: Smooth, medical-grade plastic means less irritation compared to metal braces.
At Manor House Dental, we’ve seen how Invisalign can transform smiles—and confidence—without disrupting daily life.
Step-by-Step: How Invisalign Works
1. Your Initial Invisalign Consultation
Your journey begins with a full assessment at our Birmingham practice. We check your teeth, gums and bite to confirm if Invisalign is suitable for you. Using 3D digital scanning, we create precise images of your mouth—no messy impressions needed.
✨ Benefit: You’ll see a virtual preview of your expected results before treatment even starts.
2. Personalised Treatment Plan
Your scans are used to design a unique treatment roadmap. Each stage of tooth movement is carefully mapped out using Invisalign software, ensuring predictable results.
💡 Pro Tip: Each aligner is typically worn for 1–2 weeks before switching to the next in the series.
3. Receiving and Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll receive a full set of aligners, each slightly adjusted to move your teeth closer to their final position. Because they’re transparent, you can wear them with confidence at work, school or social events.
Daily Routine with Invisalign:
-
-
- Wear aligners for 20–22 hours a day
- Remove only for eating, drinking (except water) and cleaning
- Rinse and gently brush aligners to keep them clear
-
4. Regular Check-Ins at Manor House Dental
Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll return for a review. We’ll check your progress, supply your next set of aligners and answer any questions.
Forward-thinking: Digital tracking allows us to adjust your treatment plan in real time if needed.
5. Completing Treatment & Protecting Your Results
Once your aligners have finished their work, retainers are essential to stop teeth from drifting back. We’ll provide custom retainers and guidance to help maintain your brand-new smile.
