After a lot of hard work from Dr. Abdah’s team and also from Invisalign’s technicians, who does the treatment simulations in USA, and the courier who carefully and effectively transfer the Invisalign boxes to our practice, it is finally time for one of our excited patients fittings.

Is it a day that she has been looking forward to, and she can not wait to try her new aligners on and start her journey towards the smile of her dreams!

After our patient has her aligners in place, Emma is there to answer any questions she might have. The most common questions regarding Invisalign that we get here at Dentastique are questions like; Is the treatment going to be sensitive? The answer to that is that most people experiences tooth soreness for a few days, or sometimes just even an hour or so. But this is normal – and it means that the aligners are doing their job!

Another common question that Emma gets is about what you should and should not eat and drink during your Invisalign treatment. And here is another advantage with choosing Invisalign over traditional orthodontics; You can eat and drink whatever you want, because you easily remove your aligners when you are about to eat or drink something other than water.

To make things even clearer and easier, Emma gives the patient an Invisalign presentation box, which contains everything you need to know about Invisalign. In the box you can find a leaflet with do’s and dont’s, aligners for your treatment and also retainers to wear after the treatment is finished. And there is more to it!

Here at Dentastique we also treat our Invisalign patients with a Free whitening. When these patients see these life changing results in the end of their treatment, we want them to get something extra, like a brighter whiter smile that completes this amazing journey that they have taken. And what can be better than a new dazzling smile?

The wait is over, the time has arrived for our patient to start her dream smile by using Invisalign as a clear, fresh and hygienic way to straighten the teeth. Invisalign is a series of clear removable braces that straighten teeth over a course of several months (usually not years!). A set of aligners (clear braces) are worn for two weeks, twenty hours a day. After two weeks a patient moves to the next aligners in the set, during the treatment plan there may be occasions when the patient needs an appointment with Dr. Abdah, in order for him to make spaces in between the teeth (to allow the teeth to move), and also in the early stages of the Invisalign treatment Dr. Abdah places tooth coloured attachments to the teeth in order to give the aligners retention. Sometimes the patient get many aligners together, thus minimising the visits to the practice. the patient was very pleased with the first aligners and felt very little pressure on the teeth but wasn’t uncomfortable. She look forward to her future aligners, as every aligner means a step closer to her dream smile that she rightly deserve, especially as she will get a FREE whitening in the end to enhance the overall look. We want everybody to feel great about themselves at the end.

The patient had been wearing her invisalign for a total of 9 months now, and after only a few visits to our practice to change over the retainers , add atttachments and also Dr. Abdah would do some inter proximal reduction to make very small spaces between the teeth, this is to allow space for the teeth to move. Today it was time to have the attachments removed and her teeth polished. Dr. Abdah was definately very happy with the outcome. The patients teeth were looking very nice and straight, she was exceedingly happy with her new smile. After Dr. Abdah polishes the teeth, he then took impressions, that would be sent to a special lab who would make retainers, which are plastic templates that keep teeth in place. Dentastique offers patients a Free consultation if they are interested in finding out more about the Invisalign treatment. Dr. Abdah asked the patient to book a follow up appointment in two weeks, to get her new retainers fitted, and of course at that moment she will be entitled to FREE Whitening!! As most patients(depending on their needs) will get a free whiteninig (worth over 450 pounds) with the Invisalign treatment. The patient was thrilled.

Our patient this morning had a lot of concerns about his teeth that had been bothering him since his childhood. He said that the brace that the orthodontist had made was cutting into his gums, and he took the decision to remove it himself. Dr. Abdah explained that the patient would definately benefit from Invisalign treatment. This would align the teeth making it much easier for him to clean them. The teeth would look great aswell.The patient said that both him and his wife would like Invisalign treatment but had a few concerns regarding how he would pay for it? Here at Dentastique we have teemed up with a major medical finance company to offer our patients the option of an interest FREE payment plan. Dr. Abdah has explained this to the patient. The patient will revert back to us when he has decided. In the mean time we have booked him in for a general scale and polish and a filling which is needed in the top left side of his mouth. The patient seemed very excited and keen and gone away very happy.

After the patient attending a FREE consultation to find out about Invisalign and once the patient has decided that they would like to make their teeth straight and that they wish to go ahead with the Invisalign treatment plan a one hour appointment is booked. Dr. Abdah welcomed the patient into his surgery, this appointment will consist of a full mouth X Ray(OPG). Then Impressions of the teeth and bite registration impression are taken. Dr. Abdah then takes various photos of the patients mouth and also photos of the patient full face and profile. These enable the highly skilled technicians in America to create a virtual treatment plan online (ClinCheck). This will show the Patient and the Dentist the Treatment plan instructions, i.e the length of time that the appliances need to be worn, before and after images, and the number of appliances that need to be made. Once Dr Abdah and the patient have checked the virtual treatment and made sure everything looks exactly the way they wanted it, they accept the case and AlignTech will start to make them and the patient will come back for the fit and instructions.
