Invisalign without extraction

What is Invisalign?

We use Invisalign treatment to treat patients who may have mildly crooked or protruding teeth to severe dental problems involving severe crowding, spacing, overbite or an underbite. Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth and uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing.

Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to shift your teeth into place gradually.

Our Invisalign Without Extraction Approach

At DP Dental, we avoid tooth extraction as we believe that it is possible to expand your arch and maintain it through adopting proper oral habits. So, when it comes to Invisalign treatment, we don’t just look at your teeth, but also your oral posture, especially your tongue posture.

Our aim is to get to the root cause of problems, which is why we include myofunctional habit correction exercises with our Invisalign treatment.

Benefits of using Invisalign

Versatile

Invisalign can effectively treat various cases, including crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite.
Comfort

Invisalign consists of smooth, comfortable FDA approved polymer instead of sharp metal, eliminating mouth abrasion customarily associated with braces
Almost Invisible

Invisalign lets you enjoy virtually invisible teeth-straightening using a custom-made series of aligners created specifically for you.
Removable

The aligners are removable, so they can be taken out for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. This means that you can eat whatever foods you enjoy, and also brush and floss your teeth normally for better periodontal health.
Convenient

Unlike traditional braces where you have to visit your doctor every 3-4 weeks, Invisalign frees up your schedule with visits to the clinic only once every 6-8 weeks. Thanks to Dental Monitoring, you can cut-down on regular check-up visits by being monitored remotely.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Step 1

Initial Consultation + records taking

We quickly capture an accurate 3D image of your teeth using a 3D Shape scanner. We use proprietary ClinCheck software to map out the path to your smile, right down to the tiniest shift, from your first aligner to your brand-new smile.

The 3D visual interface of this software lets us customise your treatment and helps ensure that every tooth moves in the correct order and at the right time.

You can even preview your smile – we can show your new smile before you even get started.

Step 2

Fabrication of your personalised aligners

Your clear aligners are created using industry-leading technology based on your customised treatment plan. You should hear from us in 2-3 weeks about receiving your first set of aligners.

Step 3

Cut-down regular check-up visits by being monitored remotely – Dental Monitoring

Dental Monitoring enables us to schedule remote consultations and monitor the evolution of our patients’ treatment. Using Artificial Intelligence, the Dental Monitoring app makes it simple to maintain a virtual connection with you.

We can monitor your treatment, providing you with high-quality care and the best possible patient experience.

When you receive your first aligner set, we will brief you on the following:
