Invisalign Clear Aligners in Alsager
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. There are no metal brackets or wires, they’re barely noticeable when you smile, and you can take them out to eat, drink and brush.
Dr Matt Gilks is an Elite Invisalign provider with postgraduate training in orthodontics. Your consultation is complimentary, and you’ll see a simulation of your new smile before you decide anything.
Is it right for me?
What Invisalign can help with
Invisalign can treat most of the everyday reasons people want straighter teeth. We’ll tell you honestly at your consultation whether it’s the right option for you.
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Bite problems, including overbite, crossbite and open bite
- Teeth that have moved back after previous straightening
Matt has treated patients from their teens to their 80s, so you’re never too old to straighten your teeth.
Each new aligner moves your teeth a tiny amount, until they reach the position planned for them.
How it works
Your Invisalign journey
From your first visit to your final smile, here’s what to expect.
1
Complimentary consultation
We check your teeth and gums, take a 3D iTero scan (no messy impressions) and show you a simulation of your new smile. We’ll email you a summary afterwards.
2
Your treatment plan
From your scan, x-rays and photos, Matt plans each tooth movement in 3D, so you can see your predicted result and timescale before you commit.
3
Wearing your aligners
Wear each set for about 22 hours a day, taking them out to eat, drink and brush. We’ll see you regularly to check everything is on track.
4
Finishing touches
Towards the end, we whiten your teeth with Boutique professional whitening. Some patients also choose composite bonding to repair chipped or worn edges.
5
Keeping your smile
We make retainers to hold your teeth in their new position. Your first set of removable retainers is included.
Your consultation is complimentary. We ask for a £20 deposit to secure your appointment in the diary, which can be refunded or put towards your treatment.
Treatment time
How long does Invisalign take?
Most cases take 6 to 9 months. More complex cases can take longer, and Matt will give you your own timescale at your consultation.
The key is wearing your aligners as advised. The more consistently you wear them, the quicker your teeth will move and the better your result will be.
