If you’re looking to straighten your teeth quickly and successfully Invisalign® is the modern-day solution.   This innovative treatment has been used by thousands of people across the world and it involves set of clear aligners – which apply the right force, in the right place, at the right time – to gradually move your teeth into the desired position and achieve a straighter smile.

The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. And as they’re fully transparent, they have very little impact on your daily life

How does Invisalign® treatment work?Step 1.    Visit Precision Dental Centre for initial consultation

During the consultation appointment we’ll examine your smile and establish exactly what you’re looking to achieve.   If Invisalign® is right for you, we will take a fast and precise 3D scan of your teeth and create a customised treatment plan.  Most people who need braces are excellent candidates for Invisalign®.  Clinically proven that it helps to treat overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, gapped teeth, and overcrowding.
Invisalign® isn’t suitable for children. But there isn’t an upper age limit for adults. And as long as your teeth are in good condition and with no signs of gum disease you should be eligible.

Step 2.    Accept the treatment plan

Once you’re happy with your treatment plan and accepted it; you’re now ready to progress with the next steps in your Invisalign treatment journey. Custom made aligners will be manufactured for your treatment.

Step 3.   Start your Invisalign® journey.

• Wear your aligners according to your Invisalign treatment plan
• Set reminders for wearing and changing your aligners on My Invisalign App
• Once orthodontic treatment ends, teeth can have a tendency to move again, so it’s important to keep them in place for long lasting results.  Ask your Invisalign dentist about Vivera retainers, which are custom-made, and 30% stronger than other retainers⁴.

Oral Surgery

• Tooth extraction (one slide click under SERVICES page)

If your tooth is damaged or badly decayed and can’t be repaired with a filling or crown; it could be recommended to remove (extract) the tooth as a last resort.  When your tooth cannot be saved, tooth removal may be the best option for you.  There are many reasons for teeth extraction, below some of them:

• Severe tooth cavity
• Gum disease that would lead to the tooth mobility and bone loss
• Tooth fracture that would appear in the root
• Severe swelling around the tooth and gums with inflammation on the root
• Crowded teeth and due to the orthodontic reasons
• Wisdom tooth removal due to the ongoing issues

Usually, tooth extraction is carried out by the General Dentist; but sometimes depending on complexity of the case Oral Surgeon treatment is advised. During the procedure you would receive local anaesthetic that would block the pain; however, you still may feel a pressure. If you are very anxious dental sedation can be recommended. After the treatment you will receive detailed information for the aftercare.

General advice would be:

• Not to rinse your mouth out at least for 24 hours after a tooth removal. This could remove blood clot that has formed, and you may start bleeding again or end up with the dry socket
• After 24 hours following the procedure, please rinse gently with a salt water up to four – five times a day
• Try to eat soft food once you first have your tooth removed
• Don’t drink alcohol for at least 24 hours and don’t smoke for as long as possible to avoid healing complications and dry socket development
• Brush your teeth normally; however, try to keep your toothbrush away from the healing socket
• If you have developed any pain; bleeding or swelling following the extraction please contact us as soon as possible. We would arrange a follow up appointment for the review
• Depending on the complexity of extraction healing may take anytime between 10-14 days.

After your tooth is removed, we have several options how to close the gap:

• Dental implant.  It is long-term, discreet solution for replacing missing tooth. Implant is made from the titanium screw that’s placed directly into your jawbone, replacing the missing root of your tooth.
•  A dental bridge bridges a gap in your mouth and replaces a missing tooth by using a false tooth that’s bonded to the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
• Dentures are removable plastic or metal frameworks that could carry single or multiple false teeth.
