Treatments / Invisalign
You may have heard about the ‘Invisible brace’ and wondered what it is all about. If you have teeth that are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing conventional braces, Invisalign® at Cornerhouse Dental may give you a new reason to smile!
Because it is nearly invisible almost no one can tell you are wearing Invisalign®, so you can smile more during as well as after your treatment. You can remove Invisalign® so you can eat and drink what you like, and studies have shown that it can be better for your dental hygiene during treatment. With no metal or sharp edges, Invisalign® is comfortable to wear and does not cause allergies.
The convenience and ease of use have made it the choice of over four million people, providing millions of people with amazing new smiles.
The iTero Intraoral Scanner is a revolutionary digital device used to map out the teeth surfaces, gum tissue, and the elements inside the mouth to take highly accurate 3D images.
It uses cutting-edge technology for individualized orthodontics, such as in an Invisalign clear braces treatment. This revolutionary digital impression system can take highly precise and detailed images of the teeth and gums for better fitting aligners.
The scanner takes coloured images without using powder or PVS impression material which can lead to patient discomfort. An accurate digital model of the mouth is created, making it easier to choose the best orthodontic treatment method for individual cases. You can see what your new smile could look like using our Invisalign Outcome Simulator.
How long will Invisalign® take?
Invisalign® only works while you wear the aligners. We recommend they are worn full-time day and night (22 hours per day).
Each aligner is worn for 7-10 days, (before moving onto the next in the series), moving your teeth millimetre by millimetre, week by week, until you reach your desired result.
Treatment length will vary depending on your case, but the average Invisalign® treatment is six to twelve months.
During treatment, you should visit us periodically at Cornerhouse Dental Care, until it is determined that your treatment is complete.
Once active treatment is complete, there may be some fine-tuning to create that perfect smile.

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.
Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.
An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.
An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.
An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.
A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.
