Clear Aligners For Less Than Braces

Clear aligners, also known as invisible or transparent aligners, can be an alternative to fixed braces for those who want to straighten their teeth. A clear aligner is a transparent plastic tray that fits over your teeth, helping to straighten them in increments. Typically, you change your tray every few weeks. You will wear your tray consistently, but it can be removed for cleaning or eating.

Straighten Smiles With Clear Aligners

Your Path to Straight Teeth

Clear aligners are a comfortable and effective way to straighten teeth without the inconvenience of traditional metal braces. These aligners are custom-made for each patient, using advanced 3D imaging technology to map out a personalised treatment plan. Worn daily, the aligners gradually shift teeth into the desired position, and they are easily removable for meals, brushing, and flossing. This convenient, virtually invisible approach to orthodontics means you can achieve a confident, straighter smile without the appearance of braces.

The treatment journey is simple: every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each designed to move your teeth a step closer to your goal. Clear aligners are suitable for many orthodontic issues, including spacing, crowding, and minor bite adjustments. With the guidance of your orthodontist at Inverleith Dentalcare and regular check-ups, clear aligners offer a discreet, modern solution for any patients seeking a straighter smile.

Clear Aligner Options At Inverleith Dentalcare

There are many clear aligner solutions available, at Inverleith Dentalcare we offer the best choice to our patients:

Invisalign

One of the most well-known brands for clear aligner treatment, Invisalign offers clear aligners for both teens and adults. Invisalign treatment is highly customisable, covering a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild crowding to more complex cases. It also comes with attachments (small, tooth-coloured buttons) for certain cases, which help the aligners apply the right amount of force to move teeth effectively.

ClearCorrect

This brand provides a flexible, more affordable alternative to Invisalign. ClearCorrect aligners come in various thickness options, which can be helpful for people with different comfort preferences. They are typically best for mild to moderate cases and are known for their thin design, making them even less noticeable.

Although a double appointment with the Hygienist is not my idea of fun, Rihanna and her Assistant were as usual very pleasant and took care to carry out the various procedures with care and ensure my comfort and provide good advice for future dental hygiene. Inverleith Dental practice can be recommended for care. .

I had an excellent hygiene appointment today with Brianna and Peter.They were very professional and the level of cleaning was second to none. I appreciated the advice that was given at the end of the appointment regarding my at home care.Thanks!

I had a great experience at Inverleith Dentalcare. John McAleavey was very thorough during my check-up and used a camera system to create a 3D scan of my teeth, showing where plaque had built up, which was really helpful. Briana, the hygienist, did an excellent job, leaving my teeth feeling very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Inverleith Dentalcare, especially John and Briana.

Really happy with this dental practice. Chris Fowles is an excellent dentist. He takes time to explain treatment and options and also explains what he is doing during check ups and treatments, so nothing comes as a surprise. Great for anxious patients.

I would very highly recommend the Inverleith Dental clinic. They are very professional and really knowledgeable. The admin staff is very helpful and will get you the information that you need to make a decision abo the best treatments you need. Dr. John McAleavy is excellent. He was also very knowledgeable about my TMJ issues and he was really understanding during the appointment and he sign posted me to the tools I needed; this made me feel that he cares about my progress and the best outcome for my case. Overall, I had a great experience and I can confidently say that will come back to Inverleith for any follow ups and future dental needs.

Highly recommend to anyone.

I met with Dr John McAleavey as a new patient for a consultation about my complex dental health situation. I'm a nervous patient and was instantly at ease on entering the practice. John really listened to my background story and quickly spotted the source of my problems that had been missed by other dentists. My assessment was the most rigorous I've ever received, yet very gentle. John took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. I left the practice with a sense of peace that I'd found the answers I'd been seeking, and confident I was in the hands of expert professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I was anxious before my first appointment with Inverleith Dental - my dentist of 25 + years had retired and I needed a practice nearer home - but I should not have worried!The welcome from the receptionist was lovely - The initial conversation with the dentist was very helpful - I learned about the ethos of the practice and felt I was being listened to - in addition this chat took place before the mouth examination so I was not in the reclining position which can put the patient at a disadvantage!The receptionist was most helpful with my mobility problems on leavingThe beautiful Georgian building is a bonus

I found Inverleith Dentalcare as I needed emergency dental treatment. They were very accommodating and managed to allocate an appointment the next day. Their service is second to none with professional and caring staff, dentists take the time to explain the procedure to the patient, and use modern standard techniques, materials and treatments. Worth every recommendation.

Your Questions Answered

Clear Aligners FAQs

What is Clear Aligners Treatment?

Clear Aligners is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.

What are clear aligners made of and what do they look like?

Clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material created exclusively for clear aligners treatment.

How will Clear Aligners treatment straighten my teeth?

Your clear aligners dentist will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your clear aligners dentist will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.

What’s the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water and using cleaning crystals or special cleaning tablets. It’s important that you brush your teeth after each meal before re-inserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.

Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?

We recommend any patient that has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or clear aligners treatment to use a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position. Every case is different, so we advise discussing this with your dentist at Inverleith Dentalcare.
