Clear aligner treatment for adults in East Kilbride.
At Hunter Street Dental, we love creating beautiful smiles. For patients looking to straighten crooked, spaced or crowded teeth, we offer Invisalign clear aligner treatment, the world's most advanced clear aligner system, used alone or combined with treatments such as tooth whitening and composite bonding.
For adults wanting a fast, discreet orthodontic solution, Invisalign gradually straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. We use digital scanning technology to plan your smile before treatment begins.
Most Invisalign cases are completed within six months. Aligners should be worn at least 22 hours a day, removed only for eating, drinking and oral hygiene, with retainers needed afterwards to keep teeth in place.
Straight teeth give you a better long-term chance of avoiding tooth decay and gum disease caused by difficulty cleaning crooked teeth, chronic pain from a bad bite, and dental trauma from protruding teeth.
Because they're almost invisible, Invisalign aligners suit any lifestyle that wouldn't suit traditional metal braces, and because they focus on the front 'smiling' teeth, treatment can be completed in months rather than years.
Invisalign is a cosmetic treatment for the front 'smiling' teeth; for more complex bite or function problems we may recommend an alternative such as traditional fixed braces.
We carry out a full orthodontic assessment with scans and photos, show you a digital preview of your aligned teeth, then provide aligners to wear for a prescribed time before swapping for new sets until treatment is complete.
Aligners should be worn all the time, removed only for eating, drinking water, and brushing and flossing, with each aligner worn for an average of 7-10 days before changing to the next one.
Once treatment is complete, patients need to wear retainers, usually a fixed wire retainer plus removable retainers at night, to stop teeth relapsing and becoming crooked again.
