The Best Way To Straighten Teeth
Orthodontic options for aligning teeth include braces and clear aligners. Invisalign is regarded as one of the most advanced systems available worldwide. Custom trays are crafted using accurate 3D digital scans and fitted in-person for optimal comfort and an almost invisible appearance. While full treatment often takes about six months, noticeable improvements can be seen within weeks. The aligners are simple to remove for eating and cleaning, allowing you to enjoy your favourite meals while maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
For A Beautiful And Healthy Smile
Straight teeth not only enhance your appearance but also help prevent costly dental and health problems in the future. Although misaligned teeth might seem like a minor issue, proper alignment is essential for maintaining long-term oral health and overall well-being. Even if crooked teeth don’t cause discomfort, correcting their position ensures they function efficiently and remain healthy for life.
Approximately 90% of individuals experience some level of crowding or misalignment, which can result in:
- Chipped or damaged front teeth, possibly leading to tooth loss.
- Increased food trapping between uneven teeth.
- Challenges with flossing and cleaning, raising the risk of cavities.
- A higher likelihood of gum disease, which is linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and stroke.
If you experience any of these issues, book a consultation with us to assess your oral health and explore treatment options.
What Can You Expect Once You Start Your Treatment?
Our goal is to help patients achieve excellent oral health and a beautiful smile by building a solid foundation. This involves aligning teeth for proper function and appearance. Straight teeth benefit people of all ages and contribute to overall well-being.
A Treatment Plan
We begin by using advanced digital scans of your teeth to design a personalised treatment plan. Invisalign’s innovative software predicts how your teeth will gradually shift throughout the process. You’ll even be able to see a preview of the changes at each stage, including the final result. Once approved, your custom aligners are created using cutting-edge 3D printing technology.
The First Aligners
When your aligners are ready, small attachments may be bonded to your teeth to hold them securely in place. These attachments are subtle, temporary, and make wearing your aligners seamless. They will be removed once your treatment is complete.
Follow up Appointments
Every two weeks or so, you’ll receive a new set of aligners designed to gently move your teeth closer to their ideal position. Regular visits, usually every 1-2 months, allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed, ensuring your treatment stays on track.

Cost Of Invisalign In Newcastle
For many insurance plans, patients typically pay between $3000 and $5000 out-of-pocket for Invisalign.
