Thinking about getting Invisalign®?: Why is Inspired Dental Care in Exeter your Perfect Match!

Choosing the right dental practice and expert for your Invisalign^® treatment is a crucial decision that can significantly impact both your experience and the results you achieve. With so many dental practices and dentists providing the treatments using the brand or other similar clear aligners, it’s essential to consider various factors to ensure you receive high-quality care tailored to your needs. In this blog post, we’ll explore key considerations for selecting a dental practice for your Invisalign treatment and highlight why Inspired Dental Care in Exeter stands out as an excellent choice.

Understanding Invisalign^®
Invisalign^® is a popular orthodontic appliance that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign^® aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing, making them a convenient option for many patients. However, the success of your treatment largely depends on the skill and expertise of the dentist as Invisalign^® is the ‘vehicle’ that will take you in the orthodontic journey but the dentist and their knowledge is what will ensure the ‘route’ chosen is the ideal one to achieve the best outcome.

Factors to consider when choosing a dentist

1. Qualifications and Experience
When selecting a dental practice and dentist for Invisalign^®, it’s essential to consider the qualifications and experience of the dentist providing it. Look for practitioners who are certified in providing all range of Invisalign^® treatments and have a solid track record with that system as well another orthodontic appliances is in our opinion essential simply because if you are not suitable for Invisalign^®  or the system perhaps would not deliver the best outcome for your case you do not end up wasting time and money and instead can be offered other orthodontic options that suit your case best. Experienced dentists with certified academic qualifications in the orthodontic field will be familiar with various cases and able to tailor the treatment to meet your specific dental needs, giving you at the same time the reassurance you need knowing ‘they know that they are doing’. It is also important to understand that not all ‘certified’ dentists can provide all range of Invisalign^® systems and that ‘Invisalign^® is not all the same’, 90% of providers will have some limitations on what Invisalign^®  systems they can provide and you should look for a dentist that can provide the full range so that you know you will receive the best possible outcome and will not have to settle for a ‘compromised outcome’ from the onset due to what the dentist can deliver;

2. Reputation and Reviews
Researching a practice’s and dentist’s reputation is vital. Online reviews, testimonials, and before-and-after photos can instantly provide insight into the experiences of previous patients. Speak to friends and other people you know that have had Invisalign^® , as if they had it done in Exeter, the odds are that they might have had it done with us and there is nothing better than speaking to someone who has had it before specially if it has been provided by us. A practice with a strong word of mouth reputation will prioritise patient satisfaction and deliver excellent results.

You are able to find countless online testimonials such as this amazing google review from Hayley: “I have recently had Invisalign and composite bonding with André at Invisalign, and couldn’t be happier with the results! I was a little apprehensive about the whole procedure, but immediately felt at ease after my first appointment.
The Invisalign process was very straightforward and appointments were easily arranged around my schedule, and the whole process (to my surprise) took much less time that I’d planned for.
After the alignment process, André did the most amazing job with my composite bonding! I was amazed by the results, and literally can’t stop smiling!!
All of the dental nurses and reception team were also wonderful, and it was always easy to communicate and get advice/appointments. I cannot recommend this practice enough!”

3. Technology and Techniques
The field of dentistry is continually evolving, with new technologies enhancing the precision and effectiveness of treatments. Choose a practice like Inspired Dental Care that utilises the latest dental technology, such as 3D imaging and digital treatment planning, to ensure your Invisalign^®  journey goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

4. Consultation Process
A thorough consultation is a crucial part of the Invisalign^®  process. During this initial appointment, you should feel comfortable discussing your concerns and goals. The dentist should take the time to evaluate your general oral health, explain the treatment process, and answer any questions you may have. You should only be able to have orthodontic treatment if your oral health including gums and teeth are stable as they are essential to avoid problems along the way. At inspired dental care we will ensure this is the case and will only let you start the orthodontic treatments if we feel it is safe for you to do so and have no issues in informing you if we believe that your mouth is not yet ready for it. Our clinical team will however be able to help you getting there and prepare you for the start of your Invisalign^® should you need it!

5. Personalised Treatment Plans
Every patient is unique, and therefore your Invisalign^®  journey and your treatment plan should reflect that. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all approach’ to orthodontics and nobody regardless of their experience or number of cases done can tell you for use it will take ‘x number of weeks and that is it’. Everyone’s teeth move at different rates and every mouth is different and you as a patient must know that your case might be shorter or longer than your friend who has had it but at Inspired Dental Care you can be sure we will create a personalised plan tailored to your specific dental structure and alignment goals that will deliver the best possible outcome for your particular case.

6. Support and Follow-Up Care<
The journey to a straighter smile doesn’t end once you receive your aligners. Ongoing support and follow-up care are crucial for ensuring your treatment progresses as planned. Choose a practice that prioritises regular reviews and is readily available to address any concerns that may arise during your treatment.

Our practice’s patient-centred philosophy means that your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. From the moment you step into the office, you’ll experience a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with staff dedicated to making your visit as pleasant as possible.
