Crowded teeth occur when there isn’t enough space in your mouth for all your teeth to align properly. This can cause teeth to overlap, twist, or be pushed forward or backward.
Crowded teeth can lead to difficulties in cleaning, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. They can also cause uneven wear on your teeth, jaw pain, and may impact your overall bite.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into their proper position. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth over time, providing a comfortable and effective solution for overcrowding without the need for traditional braces.
The treatment time varies depending on the severity of the crowding, but most patients see results within 6 to 18 months. During your consultation, our team at Woodcroft Dental will provide an estimated timeline based on your unique needs.
For mild to moderate cases of crowding, Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces. We will assess your specific condition to determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
Your Invisalign process begins with a consultation. During this appointment, we will evaluate your crowded teeth and discuss your dental history. We’ll take digital scans and images to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
We create digital images based on each stage of your treatment. We then custom-make your aligners to fit your teeth throughout the process. Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them for eating and cleaning. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions.
After finishing your Invisalign treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer, which helps preserve the new position of the teeth. We’ll also support you during and after your teeth-straightening treatment.
