Invisalign

When is Invisalign suitable?

Invisalign is suitable for correcting crooked teeth, minor rotations, gaps, and mild to moderate crowding. It is often chosen for aesthetic improvements, but can also offer functional benefits, such as improving the bite and making oral hygiene easier. Invisalign is suitable for both young adults and adults, provided the teeth and gums are healthy and there are no active infections or cavities. During the consultation, we assess whether your situation is suitable for aligner treatment and what results you can realistically expect.

Which Invisalign treatment is right for you?

Invisalign offers different treatment options, depending on the extent of the correction and the complexity of your case. Very minor adjustments can often be treated with a shorter plan, while more pronounced misalignment requires a more comprehensive approach. Invisalign Go Express is used for small corrections, Invisalign Go focuses on aesthetic improvements in the visible part of the teeth, and Invisalign Go Plus is suitable for more extensive or complex corrections.

The most appropriate option depends on your dental situation and your desired outcome. Based on a digital scan and treatment plan, we determine which approach best fits your needs.

How does the treatment work?

After an intake and oral examination we take a digital scan of your teeth. A 3D treatment plan is created, and you will be shown a simulation of the expected result before treatment begins. Your aligners are then custom-made.

You typically wear each aligner for 1 to 2 weeks, then move on to the next in the series. Each set gradually shifts your teeth toward the desired position. For best results, wear the aligners for at least 20–22 hours a day.

Benefits of Invisalign

• Almost invisible: The aligners are clear and barely noticeable
  
• Comfortable: No metal or wires in the mouth
  
• Removable: You can eat, brush and floss as normal
  
• Effective: Suitable for many common alignment issues
  

What to expect during the course?

Treatment typically lasts 4 to 12 months, depending on complexity. You will attend regular check-ups, usually every 6 to 8 weeks. We monitor progress and adjust the plan if needed.

At Dovident we provide close guidance, clear instructions and ongoing follow-up. You will always know what to expect.

Discipline and commitment

Success with Invisalign depends heavily on your commitment. Aligners must be worn almost continuously. Because they are removable, it can be tempting to take them out more often than advisable. We discuss this thoroughly beforehand so you understand what is required.

After treatment

After completing the aligner phase it is important to retain the teeth in their new position. You will usually receive a fixed retainer behind the front teeth or a clear night-time retainer. Without retention, teeth may gradually move back toward their original positions.
