At Smiledartford, we offer a range of treatments that will keep your teeth healthy and attractive. From general dentistry, through to preventive, cosmetic and restorative dental treatments, we pride ourselves on offering the highest standards of care.

One of our popular treatments is Invisalign and is a great example of how we are always keeping up to date with the latest techniques and treatments.
What does Invisalign do?
Invisalign is a treatment used for straightening the teeth using aligners. They are made of plastic and when they are worn over the teeth, they are practically invisible. The aligners push the teeth into their targeted positions and you will be required to change your aligners every couple of weeks, as well as have check-ups every 6 weeks with us. The treatment should take around 6 to 18 months, on average, which isn’t a long time, when you consider the transformation your teeth will undergo in that time. We can use Invisalign to treat issues such as gapped teeth, crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, or crossbites.
Is Invisalign worth having?
In short: yes. Don’t worry, though! We’ll explain why. Invisalign is a discreet treatment that allows you to continue with your life as normal. You won’t need to alter the food you eat in any way to avoid damaging your aligners, because you can remove your aligners for meals. You will also be able to take them out, while you are cleaning your teeth, so you won’t have to worry about your teeth developing any cavities, while you are having your treatment. Just remember to floss too! You will be able to remove the aligners for 2 hours each day, so you should also have time to take them out for playing sports or dancing the tango – whatever you want to do, the choice is yours!
Invisalign is also a bespoke treatment. This is because we use an iTero digital scan to get the measurements of your mouth and to have your aligners made in Invisalign’s laboratories just for you. From this, we can also show you an animation of what the results of your treatment will be, before you have embarked upon your Invisalign journey with us. It’s just another way of treating you like the individual that you are.
Treatment time!
If you are ready to come and meet us to find out what treatment we can offer you, book in for an initial consultation. During this appointment, we will examine your mouth and we will happily discuss your concerns and goals for your smile. We will then be able to offer a variety of treatments that will suit your needs and get you on the treatment plan of your choice. If you do have Invisalign, we know it’s just one of the treatments we offer that will make your smile look as wonderful as possible!
