What is Smilelign Treatment?

Smilelign is a modern and innovative system which uses clear aligners that are nearly invisible. The exceptionally high-quality material the aligners are made from is unique to the Smilelign programme. They work by gently moving the teeth into place, being worn for at least 20 hours a day for two weeks at a time, at which point we give you a new set to move on to the next stage of straightening.

Adults and Teenagers who may be self-conscious about traditional braces, and are looking for a discreet straightening option, can benefit from the advanced capabilities of the Smilelign treatment on offer at our professional Essex clinic.

Your Smilelign treatment will begin with a free consultation with us and we look forward to meeting you during this first appointment. During this time, we can help you to become familiar with the way Smilelign works, and we will perform diagnostics and checks just to be sure this is the right option for the results you want.

Following your consultation and a treatment plan agreement, we will then book you in to start the Smilelign process. The whole treatment may take 12 months, or as little as 6 months depending on your case. During treatment you can expect to come in every few weeks to get new aligners and to check the treatment is working as planned.

The Benefits Of Smilelign

Smilelign aligners are nearly invisible, meaning that people may have no idea you are wearing them, so they won’t make any difference to your work or personal life.
For convenience, Smilelign aligners are removable, meaning that you can take your aligners out for optimum convenience. Whether it is to eat with comfort or to properly clean your teeth, you have total freedom with removing your aligners to make life as easy as possible outside of the 20-22 hours a day the system needs to be in place to complete its work.
Unlike traditional braces, Smilelign does not use any wires or brackets. Not only does this mean you will feel more comfortable and less sore, but it means less time at the dentist for adjustments and more discreet wearing too!
The system is quick – compared to traditional braces it is very quick at making a noticeable change to the position of your teeth.

Smilelign FAQs

Is Smilelign the best option for me?

Smilelign is generally designed for milder corrections and it may be that there are more effective restoration options suitable for you. In some instances, Smilelign may be used alongside other treatments, or it may be suggested after other treatments, if your case requires substantial teeth straightening. It all depends on your specific needs and we always treat our patients as individuals to ensure you get the right treatment options you deserve.

It may also be that the results you want can be achieved more quickly with a different treatment. You may want a complete smile transformation with better tooth colouring, shape and alignment and in this instance, something like veneers, rather than straightening might be the best option for you.

We can only suggest the best choices for you when you come in to see us, which is why your free consultation is so important. During that time we can get to know your needs and expectations, check your suitability for treatment and give you detailed treatment plan options along with transparent pricing. There will never be any hidden treatment costs with us, only complete dedication to your smile, oral health and satisfaction.

I’m worried straightening my teeth will be painful?

Our Essex clinic prides itself on offering totally pain-free treatment but treatment for Smilelign doesn’t usually require any local anaesthetic. However, some patients who are particularly nervous may wish to have oral or IV sedation in related appointments alongside painless local anaesthetic injections.

This may be in appointments where we may remove teeth to allow the front teeth room to straighten out, or where we perform supportive restoration or cosmetic work as part of a more complete smile makeover you are having. In all instances, we have a wealth of experience and pain reduction options to ensure your visits to us are as comfortable as possible.

Is Smilelign discreet and effective teeth straightening?

If you want straight teeth quickly using a modern system that is designed to be as discreet and comfortable as possible, Smilelign could be the perfect choice for you. With advanced treatment planning technology, high quality nearly invisible aligners and exceptional results, you could have a beautifully straight smile in less than 6 months. Even better, many patients report having much more confidence following this popular treatment!
