Invisalign – The Clear Way to Straighten Your Smile

At Dental Lounge Llandaff, we offer Invisalign® – the discreet, comfortable, and removable alternative to traditional braces. Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them into place.

Invisalign can

  • Straighten crooked teeth
  • Space out crowded teeth
  • Close unwanted gaps between teeth
  • Correct protruding teeth
  • Help with some bite problems

 

At Dental Lounge in Cardiff, we offer two types of Invisalign dental braces:

Invisalign I7 – which is for mild teeth straightening
Invisalign Full – for moderate to severe teeth straightening.

We can assess which is best for you when you book your free Invisalign consultation.

Smile transformation with invisalign treatment

How Invisalign Works at Dental Lounge Llandaff

At Dental Lounge, we use the latest digital technology to create a clear and comfortable path to straighter teeth. Here’s what you can expect from your Invisalign journey with us:

CONSULTATION

Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation. We’ll discuss what you’d like to improve about your smile and carry out a full assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite. Using our 3D iTero scanner, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth – no messy moulds required.

ClinCheck Preview

Your 3D scan is used to create a digital simulation of your treatment – called ClinCheck. This advanced technology shows how your teeth will move at each stage and gives you a preview of your final smile before treatment even begins.

Bespoke Treatment Plan

Once you’re ready to go ahead, your personalised treatment plan is created using the 3D scan. This is used to produce a series of custom-made, clear aligners, designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

Starting Treatment

When your aligners are ready, we’ll invite you back to the practice to show you how to fit, remove, and care for them. You’ll be given several sets of aligners to take home, changing to the next set every 1–2 weeks as directed.

To get the best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Your New Smile

As you progress through your aligners, your teeth will gradually move into their final position. Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with retainers to help maintain your results long-term.

FAQs about Invisalign

Why do I need to remove my braces before eating and drinking?

We recommend only drinking cold water with your aligners in and taking them out for anything else that you consume.

You need to remove your Invisalign aligners before eating because you could chew straight through the plastic. If you drink anything other than cold water with your aligners, you will risk staining them which will make them look unattractive. It may seem like a pain to begin with, but you will soon get into a routine of removing your aligners quickly and discreetly before eating and drinking.

Why do I need to change my Invisalign aligners every week?
It’s important that you move on to the new set of aligners as instructed by your dentist because each set will fit your teeth for the exact moment in your treatment plan. As your teeth gradually move, so too do your Invisalign aligners need to match your new straighter teeth!
What happens if I lose or break an Invisalign aligner?
Don’t panic, call us at the dental surgery in Cardiff and we will decide whether it is best for you to move on to the next set of aligners in your series or revert to the previous set. For this reason, we suggest that you don’t throw away your Invisalign aligners after you’ve finished wearing them.
