What is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign is a modern and virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that uses a clear, custom-made set of aligners to gently straighten your teeth by moving them into their ideal positions. The process is efficient, comfortable, and tailored to your needs — giving you a straighter, more confident smile in just a few months.

Just wear each set of aligners as guided to support consistent progress. Since Invisalign clear aligners are made with precision, they fit perfectly without any discomfort.

The Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners are designed for your ultimate comfort. Here’s how the benefits of Invisalign aligners often outweigh those of traditional metal braces:

  • Aligners are made with an almost invisible design for discreet treatment.
  • There are no metal wires or brackets like those in fixed braces for enhanced comfort.
  • Unlike braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable for eating and cleaning.
  • There are no food restrictions with an advanced clear aligner system.
  • Invisalign aligners are aesthetic and comfortable to wear for both the upper and lower teeth.
  • Invisalign treatment takes less time than traditional metal braces.
  • Aligners provide more control over tooth movement, helping patients with gum disease and supporting continual dental hygiene.
  • Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, the maintenance and cleaning guidelines are simple.

Whether you’re considering teeth straightening for aesthetic or functional reasons, Invisalign aligners at Hilltop Dental are a great alternative to metal braces.

When Are Invisalign Clear Aligners Suitable?

Invisalign clear aligners may be used for mild to moderate alignment issues, including:

  • Crowded or crooked teeth
  • Minor gaps or spacing
  • Slight overbite, underbite, or crossbite issues
  • Relapse after not wearing retainers from previous braces

For more complex orthodontic cases or severe bite concerns, traditional braces may be more effective in comparison with Invisalign braces. Our dental experts will always recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. They will evaluate whether you need to wear aligners or traditional braces as part of your overall dental treatment.

The Invisalign Treatment Procedure at Hilltop Dental

  1. Initial Consultation:
    Your Invisalign treatment starts with a detailed consultation with our trained orthodontic team. We assess your teeth, bite, oral health, and dental history, and take 3D diagnostic scans to capture a complete digital image. Using this, doctors will evaluate your smile before they begin Invisalign treatment. They also take the time to understand your goals.
  2. Personalised Treatment Plan:
    Your scans are uploaded to advanced software that simulates tooth movement from start to finish. This digital preview allows you to see your potential results and discuss any changes before treatment begins.

The success of Invisalign treatment depends on a meticulously designed treatment plan that highlights each stage of tooth movement. 

  1. Creation of Your Custom Aligners:
    A bespoke series of clear, removable aligners is produced to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner gradually shifts your teeth into the desired position with precision and comfort.
  2. Fitting and Preparation:
    Small, tooth-coloured attachments may be placed on selected teeth to help the aligners achieve optimal movement. In some cases, interproximal reduction (IPR) is performed to create space for alignment and ensure your aligners fit.
  3. Your Commitment:
    Once your first set of aligners is fitted, you’ll receive a brief demonstration on how to use, maintain, and clean your aligners, including special cleaning tips. Follow-up visits every 6–12 weeks ensure your progress stays on track. Your doctor might tell you when to switch to the next set of Invisalign trays to continue your progress. 

To get the best results, wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, brush your teeth after meals, and maintain excellent oral hygiene. It is recommended to remove your Invisalign aligners only while eating or brushing. 

Our flexible appointment scheduling makes ongoing check-ups convenient and easy for every patient.

FAQs

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing. Consistent wear is essential for predictable, timely results.

Will wearing Invisalign affect my speech?

Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days of wearing aligners. This usually resolves quickly as the tongue adapts.

Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?

Aligners must be removed for all meals and snacks, as well as for any drinks other than water. This helps prevent staining, warping and plaque build-up. After eating, teeth should be brushed before the aligners are put back in.

Am I a suitable candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, crossbites, overbites and underbites. Most adults and teenagers are suitable candidates, but a full dental assessment is required to confirm suitability.

How often will I need to visit the dentist during treatment?

Patients typically attend check-ups every 6–8 weeks. These visits allow the dentist to monitor progress, provide new aligners and make any necessary adjustments.
