Why Choose Holford Curaden?
As Leading Invisalign® Providers, we’re proud to deliver expert care with proven results. Our team will guide you through every step – from digital scan to your stunning new smile.
The treatment process for clear aligners involves several key steps:
1. Consultation: The journey begins with an initial consultation with one of our Invisalign®-trained orthodontists or dentists. During this visit, your oral health and smile goals will be assessed, and the suitability of Invisalign for your specific case will be determined.
2. Customized Treatment Plan: If it is deemed suitable for you, a detailed treatment plan will be created. Utilizing advanced 3D imaging technology, your orthodontist or dentist will map out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the treatment process. You will also get a glimpse of the predicted outcome of your new smile.
3. Custom Clear Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made clear aligners will be created specifically for you. These aligners are made from a comfortable, transparent material and are virtually invisible when worn.
4. Wearing the Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, you will receive a set of them. You will be instructed to wear each set for approximately 1-2 weeks, gradually progressing to the next set in the series. The aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
5. Check-Up Appointments: Periodic check-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure that your teeth are shifting according to the treatment plan. These appointments generally occur every 6-8 weeks, but the exact frequency may vary.
6. Transitioning and Refinement: As you progress through your aligner series, you will notice your teeth gradually moving into their desired positions. In some cases, refinement aligners may be required to address any remaining adjustments needed to achieve the desired outcome.
7. Retainers: Once the active treatment phase is complete, you will be provided with removable and fixed retainers to help maintain the new position of your teeth. Removable retainers are typically worn at night, and it is crucial to follow your orthodontist’s instructions on retainer usage to ensure long-term results. Fixed retainers are placed on the back of the front teeth to further reduce the chance of relapse. Retainer retention is for life.
Throughout the treatment process, your orthodontist or dentist will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have, providing guidance and support to help you achieve the best possible results. Remember, every smile is unique, and the duration of the treatment can vary depending on individual needs and goals.
Early intervention. Lifelong confidence.
At Holford Curaden, we believe in proactive care – and that starts young. Interceptive orthodontic treatment is an early phase of care designed to guide your child’s dental development before all their adult teeth come in. Using modern, child-friendly techniques like Invisalign® First, we can address orthodontic concerns before they become more complex.
What is Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment?
Interceptive treatment, also known as Phase 1 orthodontics, is designed for children typically between the ages of 6 to 10 – when baby teeth are still present and adult teeth are starting to come in. The goal is to:
Guide jaw growth and development.
Correct harmful oral habits (tongue thrusting, thumb sucking etc)
Make space for incoming permanent teeth.
Reduce the need for more invasive treatments later
Why Consider Interceptive Treatment?
Benefits of Early Intervention:
Helps prevent more serious alignment issues.
Reduces treatment time in adolescence.
Encourages better facial symmetry and jaw alignment.
Improves breathing and sleep quality (in cases linked to airway obstruction).
Builds your child’s self-confidence with early aesthetic improvements.
Invisalign® First: Gentle, Clear, and Designed for Kids
Invisalign® First is a clear aligner system specifically created for younger patients. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® First offers:
Comfortable, removable aligners.
No metal brackets or wires.
Easier cleaning and better oral hygiene.
Customised treatment to suit growing mouths.
When Should My Child See an Orthodontist?
The British Orthodontic Society and American Association of Orthodontists recommend children have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7. Even if no immediate treatment is required, early assessment can:
Identify subtle developmental issues.
Monitor growth and intervene at the optimal time.
Prevent costly, complex issues later on.
Many patients combine clear aligner treatment with composite bonding to add the finishing touches to their smile. Realigning your smile before composite bonding can offer several advantages:
- Alignment and Symmetry: It focuses on aligning your teeth and correcting any misalignments or bite issues. By undergoing teeth realignment first, you can ensure that your teeth are in their optimal positions before proceeding with composite bonding. This allows your dentist to create a more symmetrical and harmonious smile by applying the composite bonding material to properly aligned teeth.
- Conservative Approach: It involves the gradual movement of your natural teeth to achieve the desired alignment. It is a conservative approach that preserves the integrity of your natural tooth structure. By correcting tooth alignment first, you may require less composite bonding material to achieve your desired aesthetic results. This can help maintain more of your natural tooth structure and minimize the need for extensive dental work.
- Proper Fit and Longevity: It ensures that your teeth are properly aligned, creating a better foundation for composite bonding. When teeth are aligned correctly, the composite bonding material can be applied with precision and accuracy. This improves the fit of the bonded restorations and enhances their longevity. Additionally, bonding to aligned teeth reduces the risk of premature wear or damage to the composite restorations.
- Seamless Integration: It can help address spacing issues, crowding, or misalignments that may create gaps or uneven spaces between teeth. By correcting these issues before composite bonding, your dentist can create a more seamless and natural-looking integration of the composite material. The result is a more aesthetically pleasing smile, where the composite restorations blend flawlessly with your aligned teeth.
- Comprehensive Smile Transformation: It provides a comprehensive approach to smile transformation. By straightening your teeth first, you can achieve a solid foundation and optimal alignment. This sets the stage for further cosmetic enhancements, such as composite bonding, to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. The combination of realignment and composite bonding can create a stunning, natural-looking result.

Alternatively you can consult with your dentist or orthodontist to assess your specific dental needs and discuss the most appropriate treatment sequence for your case. They can evaluate your teeth, bite, and aesthetic goals to determine the best order of treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
It utilizes a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks, and as you progress through the series, your teeth will gradually move closer to their final alignment.
One of the major advantages of Invisalign® is that the aligners are virtually invisible when worn. They are made from a clear, transparent material that blends with the natural colour of your teeth, making them difficult to notice.
Most people experience mild discomfort or pressure during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This is a normal sensation and indicates that the aligners are working to move your teeth. However, compared to traditional braces, Invisalign is generally considered to be more comfortable, as there are no metal brackets or wires that can cause irritation or soreness.
One of the significant advantages is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out when eating or drinking, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods without any restrictions. However, it’s important to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene.
The duration of treatment varies depending on individual factors such as the complexity of your case and your treatment goals. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, but some cases may require more extended treatment. Your orthodontist will provide you with an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.
It is effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. However, in complex cases or severe malocclusions, traditional braces may be more suitable. It’s best to consult with an Invisalign®-trained orthodontist to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
For optimal results, it is recommended to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistency in wearing the aligners is crucial to ensure the treatment progresses as planned.
In the initial days of wearing aligners, you may experience a slight adjustment period where your speech might be temporarily affected. However, most people adapt quickly, and any speech changes are minimal and temporary.
Yes, you can continue playing sports or musical instruments while wearing your aligners. If you engage in contact sports, it is recommended to wear a mouthguard for added protection. In the case of wind instruments, you may find a slight adjustment period, but you should be able to play comfortably with practice.
Cleaning your aligners is simple. You can rinse them under lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush to remove any residue. Avoid using hot water as it may distort the aligners. Additionally, it’s important to maintain regular oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth as instructed by your orthodontist.
