Where to start with orthodontic Invisalign treatment?

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR INVISALIGN?

At Peak Orthodontics Christchurch, we make starting Invisalign treatment easy and accessible for all patients.

It starts with your initial consultation. Specialist orthodontist Dr John Perry will assess your teeth and jaws to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for clear aligner treatment with Invisalign. In some cases, the orthodontic treatment required may be too complex for Invisalign and metal braces or other devices may be required.

If Dr Perry recommends Invisalign and you are happy to start treatment, we will begin by taking a digital impression of your bite and smile. From these scans, Dr Perry will be able to determine the length of your treatment.

After your consultation, Dr Perry will proceed with detailed digital planning, programming the precise tooth movements and Invisalign attachments required. Your digital scans will then be sent to the Invisalign dental laboratory to begin 3D printing. Once your aligners are made, you will return to Peak Orthodontics to have your Invisalign clear aligners fitted.

Less Clinic Visits, More Free Time

IT’S AS SIMPLE AS TAKING A SELFIE!

One of the main benefits of Invisalign treatment is the addition of Dental Monitoring. This convenient mobile app allows you to routinely check in with Dr Perry, so you can receive orthodontic expertise right from the palm of your hand.

Dental Monitoring works by patients simply snapping a few selfies of their Invisalign progress each week for Dr Perry to review.

If you need to come in for an appointment, we’ll let you know. Otherwise you will be ready to continue your Invisalign treatment from the comfort of your own home!

Can Children Start Invisalign Treatment?

INVISALIGN FIRST® FOR KIDS

At Peak Orthodontics, we are proud to offer Invisalign First, the clear alternative for children’s orthodontics.

Invisalign First can make a great alternative to traditional children’s orthodontic devices such as bulky plates. Clear aligners can be a great way to:

Make room for the future adult teeth to erupt
Pull teeth back if they are protruding too far forward
Achieve a balance between the upper and lower jaws, ensuring the teeth fit in the optimal positions
Help give your child confidence to smile

Invisalign FAQs

How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

Our Christchurch orthodontic patients enjoy tailored smiles from as low as $49 per week

Do I have to wear my Invisalign aligners all day?

In order to get the fastest results possible from your Invisalign treatment, we recommend wearing your Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours per day. We only recommend patients remove their aligners when they eat and drink, as well as when they brush their teeth.

Can anyone start Invisalign treatment?

Ultimately, Dr Perry will recommend the orthodontic treatment method which is best suited for your needs. If Dr Perry identifies that you are a suitable candidate for both Invisalign aligners, and braces, you will be able to choose which treatment you prefer.

When do I change my Invisalign aligners?

At Peak Orthodontics our Invisalign patients change their aligners between 4 and 14 days. Your Dental Monitoring app will monitor your tooth movement so precisely that it will tell you the exact day to change your Invisalign aligners. We also recommend changing your clear aligners in the morning. After you’ve inserted the new Invisalign aligners, bite down on your Invisalign chewies for a couple of minutes to ensure a great fit. We also recommend massaging the trays over the top of your attachments daily to facilitate engagement.

Do Invisalign clear aligners hurt?

Invisalign clear aligners are often reported to be a more comfortable treatment method compared to orthodontic braces. The clear plastic is smooth on the gums and comfortable to wear. Some minor discomfort may occur when you start a new set of aligners, as your teeth begin to shift into a new position.
