At Thames Street Dental, providing Invisalign in Kingston has become one of our most sought-after treatments. We take great pride in helping our patients achieve their dream smiles through this innovative teeth-straightening solution. The process of creating custom Invisalign aligners is a fascinating blend of cutting-edge technology and precise dental expertise.
The journey begins with a thorough consultation where we utilise state-of-the-art iTero digital scanning technology. Unlike traditional dental impressions that use putty materials, our advanced scanner creates a detailed 3D model of the patient’s teeth and gums. This digital approach ensures maximum comfort whilst providing incredibly accurate measurements.
Once we have captured the digital impressions, our team meticulously develops a customised treatment plan. Using sophisticated software, we can visualise the entire teeth-straightening journey and show patients how their smile will transform over time. This technology allows us to:
After finalising the treatment plan, we send the digital impressions to Invisalign’s advanced manufacturing facility. Here, the aligners are crafted using a sophisticated process that combines computer-aided design with precision manufacturing techniques. Each set of aligners is created using SmartTrack material, a patented thermoplastic that provides optimal force for moving teeth. This innovative material ensures maximum comfort whilst delivering predictable results. The manufacturing process involves:
Each aligner is carefully inspected to ensure it meets our exacting standards. The edges are smoothed and polished to provide optimal comfort, whilst the transparency is checked to maintain the virtually invisible appearance that makes Invisalign such a popular choice for teeth straightening.
When the aligners arrive at our practice, we thoroughly review them before arranging a fitting appointment. During this session, we provide comprehensive guidance on:
Throughout the treatment journey, we schedule regular check-ups to monitor progress and ensure everything is proceeding as planned. These appointments allow us to:
Our team uses advanced monitoring systems to track tooth movement and compare it against the predicted progress. This allows us to make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
We maintain open communication channels with our patients, offering support and guidance throughout their treatment journey. Regular progress reviews help us ensure that the treatment remains on track and that patients are completely satisfied with their experience.
Our commitment to providing exceptional Invisalign treatment is supported by continuous investment in the latest dental technology. We utilise advanced software updates and treatment planning tools to ensure the most efficient and effective teeth-straightening process possible. The combination of our expertise and cutting-edge technology enables us to deliver outstanding results for our patients seeking straighter teeth. By maintaining high standards throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final results, we continue to be a trusted provider of orthodontic solutions in our community.
