Invisalign & Clear Braces
If you are looking for a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your teeth and improve your oral health, advanced clear orthodontics offer a modern alternative to traditional metal brackets. At Synergy Centre Dental, Dr. Octavian Tetelbaum—voted the Best Cosmetic Dentist in the 2023 Best of London Awards—provides customized clear aligner therapies to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile with minimal disruption to your daily life.
As a premier Preferred Invisalign® Provider in London, Synergy Dental utilizes cutting-edge 3D computer imaging technology to design precise, incremental tooth movements. Whether you are a candidate for clear aligners or require the advanced structural capability of clear cosmetic braces, we tailor your treatment plan to deliver predictable, outstanding results.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
- Virtually Invisible: Crystal-clear polyurethane aligners remain subtle in social and professional settings.
- Completely Removable: Easily remove aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing without dietary restrictions.
- Enhanced Comfort: Smooth, custom-molded plastic eliminates uncomfortable metal brackets and archwires.
- Fewer Dental Visits: Requires fewer chairside adjustment appointments than traditional braces.
When to Consider Orthodontic Evaluation
Crowded teeth, gaps, rotated teeth, or a misaligned bite can affect not only the appearance of your smile but also your long-term oral hygiene and joint health. A comprehensive assessment helps determine whether clear aligners or fixed cosmetic braces are best suited to align your bite effectively.
How the Invisalign® Process Works
Your treatment path is digitally planned to guide your teeth into optimal alignment step by step:
1. Digital Impression & 3D Plan
Advanced computer imaging maps out every incremental stage of your tooth movement from start to finish.
2. Custom Aligners
You wear each set of clear aligners for approximately two weeks, taking them out only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
3. Progress Tracking
Regular check-ups every six weeks allow Dr. Octavian Tetelbaum to monitor progress and ensure tooth movement remains on schedule.
4. Predictable Timeline
Most treatments take between 9 to 15 months, utilizing a custom series of 18 to 30 aligners based on complexity.
Invisalign® vs. Clear Braces
While clear aligners are exceptionally popular, fixed ceramic or composite clear braces provide alternative benefits for specific alignment needs:
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Ideal for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing, and bite correction when removable convenience is preferred.
- Removable for meals and oral hygiene
- Nearly imperceptible visual profile
- Smooth, bracket-free comfort
Fixed Cosmetic Clear Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth provide continuous, multi-directional force for complex adjustments.
- Ideal for Complex Cases: Resolves severe tooth rotations, large gaps, or complex bite issues.
- Fixed Convenience: No risk of misplacing aligners or missing daily wear time goals.
- Cost-Effective Reliability: Proven track record for predictable, long-term results.
Real Patient Transformations: Invisalign® Case Studies
Case Study 1: Correcting Tooth Rotation
Rotated teeth can create tight areas that are difficult to clean and uneven force distribution when chewing. In this case, targeted aligner stages were designed to gently turn the rotated tooth back into proper arch alignment.
The result provided better symmetry, improved ease of flossing, and a balanced overall appearance.
Case Study 2: Relieving Dental Crowding
Dental crowding occurs when there is insufficient space within the arch, leading to overlapping or crooked teeth. Using a series of clear aligners, space was incrementally created across the dental arch to shift overlapping teeth into proper position.
The completed alignment improved the patient's bite relationship while providing a broader, more uniform smile.
Case Study 3: Comprehensive Tooth Straightening
This patient presented with a combination of spacing and mild arch asymmetry. A customized Invisalign plan was created to gradually realign both upper and lower arches into proper aesthetic and functional positions.
Treatment successfully closed gaps and centered the smile line for a seamless, natural transformation.
