Invisalign: The Clear Choice for Straighter Teeth at Peacock Dental Spa Loughborough
If you’re self-conscious about your crooked or misaligned teeth but dread the thought of wearing traditional metal braces, Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. At Peacock Dental Spa in Loughborough, we are proud to offer Invisalign, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, which use brackets and wires to move your teeth, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth will gradually move towards their final, aligned positions.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional metal braces:
1. Discreet: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without feeling self-conscious about your appearance.
2. Comfortable: The smooth, plastic material of Invisalign aligners is less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks than the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces.
3. Removable: Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during your treatment.
4. Convenient: With Invisalign, you’ll typically need fewer dental visits than with traditional braces, as you can simply switch to the next set of aligners at home every two weeks.
5. Predictable: Invisalign treatment plans are created using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, which allows you to see a virtual representation of your expected results before you even begin treatment.
The Invisalign Process
At Peacock Dental Spa, the Invisalign process begins with a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this appointment, we will:
1. Assess your oral health and determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment option for you
2. Take detailed impressions, photos, and X-rays of your teeth to create a precise 3D model of your smile
3. Use advanced computer software to develop a personalised treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth
Once your treatment plan is finalised, your custom Invisalign aligners will be fabricated and shipped to our clinic. You’ll then begin wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Every two weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in your series, gradually shifting your teeth into their desired positions. You’ll visit our clinic every 6-8 weeks so that we can monitor your progress and ensure that your treatment is on track.
Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners
To ensure the success of your Invisalign treatment, it’s essential to follow these care tips:
1. Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss
2. Brush your teeth and aligners before reinserting them to prevent staining and bacterial buildup
3. Store your aligners in their protective case when not in use to avoid losing or damaging them
4. Avoid eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing your aligners, as this can cause staining and damage
5. Attend all scheduled dental check-ups at Peacock Dental Spa to allow our team to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments
With proper care and compliance, Invisalign can help you achieve the straight, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted in as little as 6-18 months, depending on your individual case.

Invisalign can be an effective treatment option for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
1. Crowded teeth
2. Gaps between teeth
