Patient Journey

  • Firstly Dr R Kumar will take x-rays, photographs and dental impressions of your teeth and send these off the Invisalign laboratories.
  • Your impression is then laser scanned into a computer to make a 3-D model of your teeth and gums.
  • Technicians at the laboratory are then able to isolate each tooth using the computer software and move them on screen according to the prescription from your dentist.
  • The software then simulates this movement in stages, moving different teeth, slowly and at different times until the final result is achieved. Dr. Kumar can then check this simulation online before your personalised set of aligners is made.
  • All our patients have a secure log in to the website so that they can view their images and treatment scans. You are involved in all the stages.

How does it work?

By being invisible it is said that no one can tell you are wearing them. they are removable so you can eat and drink, brush and floss your teeth with ease and due to the lack of metal components as often found with brace systems, they are considered more comfortable and less likely to cause abrasions such as mouth ulcers.

Generally each aligner in a treatment sequence is worn for 2 weeks, meaning that as you change to the next one your teeth slowly move until they are straightened into their final position Depending on your individual case, the total treatment time can take 9-12 months with the number of aligners worn during treatment being approximately 18-25.

Dr. Kumar will schedule regular appointments - usually about once every six weeks so they can be sure that the treatment is progressing as planned.
