Straighten overbites, underbites, crooked, crowded, gapped teeth and more with near-invisible aligners in 12 months or less at Castle Dental Practice.
Today, there’s not much Invisalign can’t do or straighten. It’s effective for minor, moderate and severe malocclusions and bite problems such as overbites, underbites, open bites and cross bites. In addition, it can straighten crooked, crowded, overlapping and gapped teeth using a series of removable aligners.
Invisalign timelines will vary depending on how much movement is required. Minor cases can take up to 3 months, whereas moderate cases can take around 6-9 months and more severe issues up to 12 months. The smaller your alignment concern, the quicker your treatment timeline will be.
At Castle Dental in Lincolnshire, Clear Aligners are priced by problem. The cost depends on the complexity of your case, the number of aligners needed and the length of treatment, all of which will be broken down to you during your initial consultation, where you’ll also get to preview the results before you commit.
Clear Aligners are suitable for children, teens and adults who can gradually move teeth into their correct positions without the use of fixed metal brackets and wires.
Instead, you can enjoy a more discreet treatment experience with a series of clear and removable aligners that gradually guide your teeth into alignment in a matter of months.
At Castle Dental in Lincoln, Clear Aligners are custom-made to fit your mouth at each stage, so patients will start to notice an improvement in their smile as the weeks go by.
Plus, during your consultation using digital 3D scanning, you’ll be able to see the finished and expected results before you even start or commit to treatment.
At our Lincoln dental practice, Clear Aligners can help with crowded teeth, overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, rotated teeth, mild to severe bite issues, and uneven smile alignment. While Clear Aligners are effective for severe malocclusions, the most complex cases might require braces instead and specialist intervention.
Clear Aligners are a great option for many patients, but they need commitment. For the treatment to work, you must wear them for 22 hours per day, or your treatment will not be completed on time. Retainers must be worn following your treatment to keep teeth in their new positions.
How long Clear Aligners take entirely depends on the movement required to bring your smile back into perfect alignment and harmony. The more minor your issue, the quicker Clear Aligners will take.
Your exact treatment timeline will be broken down during your consultation, where advanced 3D imaging technology will outline the number of aligners needed over a recommended course to achieve your goals. But as a rough guide, here are average Clear Aligners treatment durations:
| Treatment stage | The process |
|---|---|
| Consultation | Assess your teeth, bite and smile goals to see whether Clear Aligners are suitable. |
| Smile assessment | Check crowding, gaps, rotations and how your teeth meet. |
| Digital planning | Tooth movement is planned, and the results are simulated for you to see. |
| Treatment plan | Explain your expected timeline, costs and realistic results. |
| Aligner creation | Your clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth (1-3 weeks for arrival). |
| First fitting | Check the fit of your aligners and show you how to wear, remove and clean them. |
| Aligner changes | You keep changing and swapping out aligners as your teeth gradually move. |
| Progress checks | We review your treatment to make sure your teeth are moving as planned. |
| Refinements | Extra aligners may be recommended if small adjustments are needed near the end. |
| Retainers | Retainers are provided or recommended to help keep your teeth straight after treatment. |
