Wish you had straighter teeth with Invisalign braces but you’ve been putting off seeking treatment in earnest because you suspect that living with metal braces for a few months could be more socially awkward than putting up with the teeth you have? We can put your mind at rest. We can offer you orthodontic braces for your teeth that are very hard to detect. Now you can have your teeth straightened without anybody realising.

Invisalign is one of the main brands of clear braces we use here at our Mickleover practice. They’ve been fitted successfully to 4 million customers worldwide and they can correct a huge range of alignment issues. We’re recommended Invisalign providers and know everything there is know about using this system to produce optimal results for our customers. Let’s have a look at the number of reasons why we champion this particular teeth straightening brand:

  • Invisalign braces are removable. They are not bonded to your teeth like braces requiring brackets and wires, but instead consist of clear, thermoplastic trays. The trays are comfortable to wear because they are custom-made for your mouth and they fit snugly over your teeth in much the same way a mouthguard would.
  • Removing your braces to eat means you won’t get any food caught in your mouth, which is often the case with traditional braces. Removing your braces to brush your teeth, means you can get your teeth really clean, which is harder when you have to negotiate the equipment involved with fixed braces.
  • They might be modern and less durable-looking, but don’t be fooled. These tough braces will guide your teeth into a more flattering alignment with a firm, but gentle precision. Most alignment issues can be corrected using Invisalign, with results just as good as more conventional braces, and occasionally with a shorter treatment time.
  • When you embark on orthodontic treatment with the Invisalign system, you will know exactly how your teeth and smile will look at the end of their alignment journey. Your beautiful new smile will be on the computer screen for you to see thanks their innovative 3D simulation programme.
  • As the braces are removable, you will be expected to be compliant with the guidelines given in order for your teeth to be straightened within the estimated treatment time given. They need to be worn for 20 hours in every 24 hour period. Obviously if these braces are for your children, you might believe it’s harder to check that they’re wearing them as often as they should. Invisalign have thought of everything. Thanks to blue dot indicators on the side of the braces, you can check your child is ready to receive a new aligner tray at the predicted times (otherwise, you’ll know your child hasn’t been wearing his or her braces for long enough each day.)

Think Invisalign could be a good choice for you or your children? Why not book a consultation with one of orthodontists here at our Mickleover practice. We’ll answer all your questions and assess your teeth to give you a better idea of price and treatment time.

    Beatriz Porto No.1 orthodontist literally lifted up my confidence, they were very precise with how I wanted my teeth to look and they turned out absolutely amazing. The team is so caring and they make you feel so comfortable would definitely recommend to my family and friends if they ever need their teeth perfect.

    My daughter had complex dental issues which meant first a removable brace when she was very young then fixed braces as a teen. Now 7 years later she's happy and confident with her teeth. Everyone at No1 was fantastic. During COVID she was still only 10 years old but their reassurance meant she happily went into her appointment without any parents. All the technicians are brilliant, I love the way all staff input is listened to regardless of their level. Makes for a great outcome for my daughter. Thank you so much.

    At 64 years old, I wondered if the 2 years plus aligner plan, was doable or worth it. I took the plunge and I am really pleased with the results. Anjli gave my a lot of information and time for me to make my decision and I found it an easy process to go through. No one ever noticed my clear aligners. Laura was my main contact who oversaw my treatment and she's really easy to ask any questions as you go through treatment, always felt I was in safe hands and is very positive in her approach to get the best outcome for you, so just do it 😀

    Had a wonderful experience for my 3 year braces journey with the Dental nurses all being friendly and easy going. Most importantly, my teeth problems have been fixed amazingly well.

    I had a very positive experience with No. 1 Orthodontist in Mickleover. From my initial consultation onwards, the entire team was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The orthodontists took the time to explain the treatment process and answer all of my questions, making me feel informed and comfortable throughout my time as a patient. I chose Angel Aligners and was very impressed with the care, attention, and support I received from the team. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I was unable to complete my treatment. However, my experience with the practice was excellent from start to finish, and I was always treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect. I would happily recommend No. 1 Orthodontist to anyone considering orthodontic treatment and would like to thank the whole team for their outstanding service.
