Did you know there is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear metal braces?

Invisalign Virtual Smile Assessment from the comfort of your own home*

Direct dial our Invisalign Treatment Coordinators, Becci and Emma on 01702 936980 or email advanceddental@inspiredentalsouthend.co.uk with any queries or questions and to arrange a smile assessment.

**Please be aware, the smile assessment does not offer a clinical diagnosis and is intended for general guidance purposes only.

Here at Inspire Dental Southend we can help you have the smile you have always wanted using invisible braces.

A favourable option for adults who don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases.

It is important to remember that straighter teeth are healthier teeth. Properly aligned teeth and less gaps reduce areas for food to get trapped and plaque to build up on the teeth, causing decay.

We offer the Invisalign® system - the world's most advanced clear aligner system and an alternative to fixed braces.
As an adult, no matter what age you are, straightening your teeth can be life changing. Straighter teeth are easier to clean than crooked ones and gums fit more tightly around straight teeth. And of course, there's the confidence boost that comes with straight teeth and a beautiful smile.

What factors can make a beautiful smile?

A beautiful smile is generally defined by the following:

  • Straightness and symmetry of teeth
  • Tooth proportion and smile width
  • Spacing of teeth
  • Shape, colour and fullness of lips
  • Gum health and gum line
  • Colour of teeth

Unlike traditional fixed braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible.

We offer a range of payment plans to help make paying for your Invisalign treatment manageable for you.

Discover more about Invisalign in Westcliff on Sea

Invisalign in Westcliff on Sea is ideal for patients with moderate alignment issues or bite problems such as overbites, underbites and crossbites. At Inspire Dental Southend, you can choose from different types of Invisalign, which are designed to target a range of dental problems. For instance, Invisalign Lite is ideal for less complex alignment issues, whereas Invisalign Teen comes with special features for teenagers.

We would be happy to discuss your options and help you decide the best treatment based on your specific dental needs and lifestyle.

Invisalign is a different kind of braces system than you may be familiar with. Instead of metal brackets and wires pulling the teeth into position, it uses thin, clear mouth guards to gently nudge the teeth into place over time. Each pair of aligners is custom-made and specially designed to move your teeth.

As the aligners are clear, Invisalign is almost invisible: only a professional (or perhaps your mum) would notice you are wearing them. They are taken out for eating and cleaning, so are easy to maintain and to fit into your lifestyle.

Give us a call today and find out how you can benefit from these wonders of modern dental technology.

How does Invisalign work?
4 steps to your new smile.
Step 1
We will take you through the Case Assessment, which is a simple set of photos to determine whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment.
Step 2
If treatment is right for you, we'll take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. Then we'll create you a digital treatment plan, using our state of the art technology, showing you what your results could look like via a 3D video.
Step 3
We'll give you a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks (as directed by your Dentist). You can comfortably wear your aligners for 22 hours a day (the recommended daily wear). And because they're removable, it's easy to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your usual diet.
Step 4
We'll invite you back to the practice around every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and hand over your new aligners. At the end of your treatment, you will need to wear your retainers to maintain your new smile.

Will Invisalign fit my lifestyle?

With Invisalign, there is no need to change a thing in your daily routine. The aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed whether you wish to eat or brush your teeth through the day. Moreover, Invisalign appointments are not lengthy and can be coordinated with your schedule.

Invisible braces, also known as clear or transparent braces, are a type of orthodontic treatment designed to straighten misaligned teeth while being nearly invisible. Unlike traditional metal braces, invisible braces use a series of custom-made aligners to gradually reposition teeth.

These aligners are made from clear plastic material and are custom-moulded to fit your teeth. They will be changed every two weeks to make adjustments to the position of your teeth. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will gradually move until they are in the desired position.

One of the main benefits of this type of treatment is that the aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal option for those who are hesitant about traditional metal braces. The clear, plastic aligners are also more comfortable than metal braces as they don't have any wires or brackets that could cause irritation or soreness.

Invisible braces can be used to treat a wide range of dental issues, including crooked teeth, crowded teeth, misaligned teeth and gaps between teeth. They also offer an excellent option for those who have experienced relapse after traditional braces or who have an orthodontic treatment for the first time.

It's worth noting that invisible braces are not suitable for everyone. Patients with severe dental issues may require more extensive orthodontic treatment, which can be more effective with traditional metal braces. It's important to consult with an orthodontist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.

Overall, invisible braces offer a comfortable and discreet way to achieve a straighter smile. With treatment times ranging from a few months to a couple of years, invisible braces provide a more convenient and flexible option than traditional metal braces.

Invisible braces, also known as clear aligners, are orthodontic devices that are made from a clear, medical-grade plastic material. These aligners are custom-moulded to fit your teeth and are designed to gently shift your teeth into the correct position over time.

Unlike traditional metal braces, which use brackets and wires to apply pressure to the teeth, invisible braces are designed to apply a gentle, constant force to your teeth. This force gradually moves your teeth into the correct position.

The clear plastic material used in the construction of invisible braces is typically made from a medical-grade thermoplastic material called polyurethane. This material is highly flexible and durable, allowing the aligners to withstand the pressure of daily wear.

When you wear invisible braces, they are almost invisible to the naked eye. The clear plastic material allows them to blend in with your teeth, making them an ideal option for those who are self-conscious about wearing braces.

Each set of invisible braces is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. This ensures that they are comfortable to wear and that they apply the right amount of pressure to your teeth to achieve the best results.

If you're considering invisible braces as an option for straightening your teeth, it's important to consult with an orthodontist to determine whether they are the right choice for your specific needs. Your orthodontist can provide you with more information about the materials used in invisible braces and what to expect during the treatment process.

It's common to wonder if wearing invisible braces will affect your speech. While it's possible to experience a slight lisp or speech impediment when you first start wearing invisible braces, the vast majority of people find that any speech changes are minimal and temporary.

Invisible braces are made from a clear plastic material that is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The aligners fit snugly against your teeth, which can make it feel a little awkward to talk at first. However, most people find that they adjust to wearing invisible braces quickly and that any changes to their speech are minimal.

In some cases, you may experience a slight lisp or find it a little harder to pronounce certain words or sounds. This is because the aligners cover the surface of your teeth, which can affect how air passes through your mouth when you speak. However, this is usually only noticeable to you and your close family and friends.

If you're worried about speech changes when wearing invisible braces, it can help to practise speaking in front of a mirror. This will give you a chance to see how your mouth moves and how your speech sounds with the aligners in place. Over time, your mouth will adjust to the aligners and any speech changes will fade away.

In conclusion, while it is possible to experience speech changes when wearing invisible braces, these are usually minimal and temporary. With a little practice and patience, you'll be able to speak normally with your aligners in place.
