Your step-by-step Invisalign® journey in Aberdeen

iTero 3D scan and Smile View preview

Your visit starts with a quick iTero digital scan. This creates a precise 3D model without messy impressions. You can see a Smile View preview of a possible outcome, which helps you discuss goals and priorities with your clinician.

ClinCheck planning with a Specialist Orthodontist

Mr Richard Buckle or Miss Johann Bell will design your bespoke ClinCheck plan. This maps tooth movements in stages and shows how many aligners you may need. Where helpful, we plan attachments, elastics, or slenderising to achieve accurate movements.

Custom Invisalign® aligners and wear guidance

Once approved, your aligners are made to fit closely and comfortably. We guide you on wear, changes, cleaning, and what to expect when switching trays. Mild pressure is common for a day or two at the start of a new aligner.

Dental Monitoring from home

Most patients use Dental Monitoring, our smartphone-based app, to send guided weekly selfies of their teeth. We review progress remotely, advise on tray changes, and flag if an in-person review is needed. This typically reduces clinic visits while keeping your treatment closely supervised.

Reviews, refinements, and retainers

Near the end, refinements can perfect your result with a few additional aligners. When finished, retainers are essential to keep your teeth settled in their new positions.

Who Invisalign® suits, and how plans are tailored

Invisalign® can be a great option for adults and teens with crowding, spacing, relapse after past treatment, and many bite concerns including increased overjet and some overbites. Our clinicians assess growth, tooth positions, gum health, and lifestyle before recommending aligners or another appliance if more suitable. For complex movements or impacted teeth, fixed braces may be more efficient. We also offer Invisalign® Teen with wear indicators for adolescents who value a low-profile option.

How Dental Monitoring reduces appointments

Dental Monitoring uses secure, guided photos to let us review progress between visits. We can confirm whether an aligner is ready to change, coach you if a tray is not seating fully, and spot early if something needs attention. Many patients attend fewer in-practice reviews because routine checks happen virtually, which is especially helpful if you work shifts, travel offshore, or live outside the city.

Daily wear time and comfort tips

Wear time

Plan for about 20 to 22 hours per day. Remove aligners for meals, hot drinks, and brushing. Consistent wear keeps your plan on schedule.

Comfort

Expect light pressure with a new tray. Chewies help seat aligners. Choose softer foods for a day or two if tender, and use standard comfort measures like warm saltwater rinses. If a tray feels cracked or does not fit, contact us for advice.

Cleaning

Brush and floss after meals before reinserting aligners. Clean trays with a soft brush and cool water. Avoid toothpaste and hot water, which can scratch or warp plastic.

Is Invisalign® faster than braces?

Case length depends on complexity and compliance. Many Invisalign® treatments complete within 6 to 18 months, similar to fixed braces for comparable cases. Some tooth movements are quicker with braces, others with aligners. We will recommend the most efficient route for your goals after assessment.

Can Invisalign® fix an overbite?

Invisalign® can often improve an overbite using planned stages, attachments, and elastics. Suitability depends on your bite and jaw relationship. In some cases, fixed braces or a combined approach is best. Your consultation and ClinCheck plan will explain what is achievable.
