Who to Trust With Your Invisalign Treatment

With Invisalign Providers at every other Dental Practice—Why Choose The Briars?

Embarking on your Invisalign journey is an exciting decision that can transform not just your smile but your confidence, too. However, with so many dental practices offering Invisalign treatment, how do you know which provider is right for you? Why choose The Briars?

The truth is that not all Invisalign experiences are created equal. While many practices offer these clear aligners, the planning process, technology, expertise, and included extras can vary dramatically between providers, often explaining the difference in treatment costs.

Beyond the Basics: Our Comprehensive Approach to Invisalign

At The Briars Dental Centre, we believe that exceptional Invisalign treatment begins long before your first aligner. Our comprehensive approach focuses on long-term results rather than quick fixes, ensuring your new smile is not only beautiful but also sustainable. Let’s take a dive into the package we offer and answer the question—why choose The Briars?

Digital Smile Design: The Foundation of Lasting Results

We’re proud to be unique in our area for incorporating Digital Smile Design (DSD) into our Invisalign planning process. This sophisticated approach goes far beyond simply straightening teeth.

DSD is a comprehensive treatment planning protocol that considers all aspects of the relationship between your teeth, gums, lips, and facial features. By using advanced imaging technology and software, we create a detailed visual blueprint of your smile transformation that:

• Allows you to preview your results before treatment begins
• Ensures aesthetic harmony between your smile and facial features
• Considers functional aspects like bite alignment and jaw positioning
• Creates a more predictable outcome aligned with your expectations
• Allows us to consider if further treatment may be necessary after Invisalign is complete, such as composite bonding for tooth wear or implant placement for missing teeth. 

This meticulous planning means we’re focused on creating smiles that not only look stunning immediately after treatment but also remain functional and beautiful for years to come. 

Remote Monitoring: Convenience Without Compromise

We understand that fitting regular dental appointments into your busy schedule can be challenging. That’s why all our Invisalign patients benefit from Dental Monitoring, an innovative system that allows us to track your progress remotely.

Using a simple smartphone app and scanning device, you can:

• Send secure images of your teeth to our team from anywhere
• Receive feedback without coming into the practice
• Reduce the number of in-person appointments needed
• Stay on track with your treatment plan
• Address any concerns promptly without waiting for your next scheduled visit

This technology not only saves you valuable time but also ensures your treatment progresses efficiently with professional care every step of the way.

The Complete Package: What’s Included in Our Invisalign Treatment

When comparing Invisalign providers, it’s essential to understand exactly what’s included in the quoted price. Many practices advertise an attractive baseline cost, only for patients to discover additional charges for necessary extras later.

Comprehensive Retainer Programme

Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of orthodontic treatment is retention—the crucial phase that maintains your results after active treatment ends. We include a complete retention programme as standard:

• Three sets of Vivera retainers (manufactured by Invisalign)
• Detailed instructions on retainer wear and care
• Follow-up appointments over the first 12 months to ensure your results remain stable

When researching providers, always ask specifically about retainers—both whether they’re included in the price and what type they are. Vivera retainers are made from the same high-quality material as Invisalign aligners and are up to 30% stronger than other retainer materials, providing superior durability and comfort.

Professional Tooth Whitening

Why straighten your teeth without giving them the brightness to match? We include professional tooth whitening as standard with all our Invisalign treatments. This ensures your newly aligned smile also has that fresh, bright appearance you desire.

Ultrasonic Cleaning System

We’ve recently enhanced our package to include an ultrasonic cleaning pod for your aligners. This advanced cleaning system:

• Removes 99% of bacteria and plaque from your aligners
• Eliminates odours
• Extends the life of your aligners
• Ensures optimal hygiene throughout your treatment

Making Sense of Pricing Differences

When shopping around for Invisalign treatment, you’ll likely encounter a range of prices. Understanding what drives these differences can help you make an informed decision based on value rather than just cost.

Lower-priced options often:

• Exclude critical elements such as retainers. 
• Offer limited monitoring 
• Use basic planning methods rather than comprehensive approaches like DSD
• May limit the number of aligners or refinements included
• Provide less experienced providers with fewer cases completed

At our practice, our pricing reflects our commitment to delivering a complete treatment experience with predictable, long-lasting results. We believe transparency is essential, which is why our fee of £4,495 includes everything you need from initial consultation through to long-term retention.

Questions to Ask When Choosing Your Invisalign Provider

To help you navigate your options, consider asking potential providers these questions:

• What planning technology do you use? Do you offer Digital Smile Design?
• How many Invisalign cases have you completed?
• Is remote monitoring available? Is it included in the cost?
• Are retainers included? What type and how many sets?
• Is tooth whitening included?
• Are there any additional fees I should be aware of?
• What happens if my teeth don’t track as expected?
• How long will my treatment take?
