Invisalign Express has been designed to help straightforward cases, where just a few tweaks are needed. If you have front teeth that are very slightly crooked or spaced, Invisalign Express is a discreet and speedy solution.
The different types of Invisalign all work in the same way: gently applying pressure to your teeth to bring them into line. Invisalign Express simply uses fewer aligners, and your treatment will take a fraction of the time.
Who’s suitable for Invisalign Express?
To find out if you’re suitable for Invisalign Express, you can visit us for a consultation with Dr. Jackie Bracken. We also offer virtual consultations if you’d prefer to meet us from home.
During your consultation, Jackie will examine your smile to determine which Invisalign brace is best for you. We’ll take a digital scan of your teeth to create a 3D smile preview so you can visualise your amazing outcome.
Invisalign Express is limited to small adjustments, so it won’t improve the way your teeth bite together. It can be a fantastic option for relapse cases if your teeth have shifted slightly after braces. (We’ll give you retainers to prevent this from happening again.)
How long does treatment take?
We complete most Invisalign Express cases within just 4–6 months. We’ll give you a series of clear aligners to wear throughout your treatment. Each set of aligners should be worn for 1–2 weeks.
As well as being incredibly discreet, Invisalign aligners are removable. This gives you the freedom to remove your aligners to eat, drink and clean your teeth. Your aligners will only work when you’re wearing them, though, so it’s essential to keep them in for at least 20 hours each day.
At the end of your treatment, we’ll fit retainers to maintain your results. Retainers are a lifelong commitment. Without them, your teeth could relapse, and we can only correct this with further treatment.
Different types of Invisalign
Invisalign isn’t just for simple cases – we have clear aligners to suit every smile.
Invisalign Lite
If you’re not suitable for Invisalign Express, but your case isn’t too complicated, then Invisalign Lite is just for you. It can transform mild crowding and spacing in less than 12 months.
Invisalign Comprehensive
Our most capable clear aligner, Invisalign Comprehensive can tackle moderate and complex cases, including crowded teeth, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. Your treatment will include unlimited aligners to straighten your smile.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen has all the advantages of Invisalign Comprehensive, with some extra features for younger patients. Children of all ages can achieve a beautiful smile and enjoy the flexibility of clear aligners.
We also offer a wide range of fixed appliances for adults and children if you decide that aligners aren’t for you. To make your treatment more discreet, you can opt for clear ceramic brackets. We can even conceal your braces behind your teeth.
