  Orthodontic treatment is used to correct 
  crooked, misaligned or over-crowded 
  teeth to provide a beautifully straight 
  smile. It can also help to correct 
  problems with the bite.
  We offer a full range of orthodontic 
  treatment for both adults and children, 
  including virtually invisible lingual braces 
  and Invisalign™ aligners that radically 
  reduce treatment time. Your Invisalign™ 
  Treatment has the following stages:
  STEP 1: The Consultation:
  On your first visit to discuss 
  Invisalign™ treatment, we will 
  thoroughly examine your existing 
  smile before discussing what you 
  would like to achieve with your 
  new smile.
  Our Invisalign clinician will give you 
  all the information you need to decide 
  whether Invisalign is the right course 
  of action for you. If you choose to go 
  ahead, we will send the scans or 
  impressions and photographs of 
  your teeth to Invisalign’s US 
  laboratories, along with a set of 
  instructions for production tailored 
  uniquely to your mouth.
  STEP 2: Aligner Production
  Invisalign’s US laboratory team 
  transforms the impressions and 
  photographs into 3D images used to 
  make your unique aligners. The 
  number of aligners needed varies 
  with each patient and can be 
  anything from 12-50, depending on 
  the complexity of treatment.
  STEP 3: Your New Aligners Arrive
  Once you receive your first aligners, 
  you’ll need to wear them for around 
  two weeks before changing to your 
  next set. We’ll provide one or two 
  replacement sets so you can carry 
  on with treatment before your first 
  follow-up appointment with us.
  STEP 4: Your Treatment
  Your aligners should be worn for 
  around 20 hours every day and 
  removed only when eating, Drinking 
  or brushing teeth. You’ll re-visit the 
  clinic around every six weeks to 
  check on progress and receive 
  your latest replacement aligner. 
  Each new aligner brings your teeth 
  a little closer to their perfect position.
  STEP 5: Smile - You’re All Done!
  Treatment time varies from patient 
  to patient and usually lasts 6-12 
  months. After wearing each set of 
  aligners in the treatment plan, your 
  treatment is complete. 
  Congratulations – you can now smile 
  in confidence knowing your teeth are 
  beautifully aligned.
