Are you dreaming of straighter teeth but can’t bear the thought of a mouth full of metal brackets and wires? You’re not alone. Many adults and teenagers want to improve their smile but feel held back by the appearance and discomfort associated with traditional braces. Fortunately, modern orthodontic treatment offers several discrete alternatives, with Invisalign Newbury leading the way in comfortable, virtually invisible teeth straightening.
At The Briars Dental Centre in Newbury, Berkshire, we understand that your journey to a straighter smile should be as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our comprehensive care approach, from consultation to completion, ensures you receive the support and expertise needed to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Gone are the days when metal braces were your only option for achieving straighter teeth. Today’s orthodontic landscape offers several innovative solutions designed with adult lifestyles in mind:
These virtually invisible, removable plastic trays gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Custom-made for your mouth, each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence.
For cases requiring more complex movement, clear ceramic brackets offer a less visible alternative to traditional metal braces whilst providing the same effective treatment outcomes.
Fitted to the back of your teeth, these braces remain completely hidden from view, making them ideal for professionals who need discretion during treatment.
The key advantage of modern clear aligner technology lies not just in aesthetics, but in the convenience and comfort they provide throughout your orthodontic treatment journey.
At The Briars Dental Centre, Invisalign treatment is overseen by Dr Victoria Holden, our Principal Dentist who has earned exceptional praise from patients for her patient-centred approach to teeth straightening. Having graduated from Sheffield Dental School in 1999 and pursued additional diplomas in restorative dentistry, Dr Holden brings both experience and genuine care to every treatment.
Patients consistently describe Dr Holden as “amazing from start to finish” and “the most patient, kind and professional dentist” they’ve encountered. Her approach to Invisalign treatment focuses on:
What sets Dr Holden apart is her commitment to ensuring patients achieve not just straighter teeth, but “beautiful, straight teeth” that enhance their overall confidence and oral health.
Understanding what to expect during clear aligner treatment helps ensure you feel confident and prepared throughout the process. At The Briars, our comprehensive care approach means you’ll receive support at every stage:
Your journey begins with a thorough examination where Dr Holden assesses your suitability for Invisalign treatment. Using advanced digital scanning technology, we create precise 3D images of your teeth to plan your personalised treatment.
Each set of aligners is custom-manufactured to fit your teeth perfectly. You’ll see a digital preview of your expected results before treatment even begins, giving you confidence in the outcome.
Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks ensure your treatment progresses as planned. Our team remains available to address any concerns and provide guidance on caring for your aligners.
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile for years to come.
For complex cases requiring additional expertise, our established reputation means we work seamlessly with specialists like Dr Supriti Paraskar, our Registered Specialist Prosthodontist, ensuring you receive comprehensive care without referrals to external practices.
While achieving a straighter smile is the primary goal, orthodontic treatment with clear aligners offers numerous additional advantages:
Straighter teeth are easier to clean effectively, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth also distribute chewing forces more evenly, potentially reducing wear and tear.
The psychological benefits of improved smile aesthetics often extend far beyond dental health, positively impacting both personal relationships and professional interactions.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and special occasions, allowing you to maintain your normal lifestyle throughout treatment.
Advanced computer modelling means you can see your expected outcome before treatment begins, providing confidence and motivation throughout the process.
The convenience of removable aligners means you can continue enjoying your favourite foods without restrictions, whilst the smooth plastic material eliminates the mouth sores often associated with metal brackets and wires.
Achieving straighter teeth without metal braces is not only possible but can be a comfortable, convenient experience when you choose the right practice and clinician. At The Briars Dental Centre, Dr Victoria Holden’s patient-centred approach to Invisalign treatment, combined with our comprehensive care philosophy, ensures you receive exceptional results in a supportive, professional environment.
