Invisalign Lite Invisible Braces: A Guide to Costs and Treatment

23rd December 2020

Austin Powers, the spy action comedy of the ‘90s created a furor of sorts by showing the seemingly ugly teeth of a British spy. Unfortunately, even today the plight of declining dental health in the UK clamors for attention and care.

Here are some mind-boggling numbers to draw light on the condition of dental health in the UK:

The NHS (National Health Service) recommends that British citizens should visit their dentist at least once a year. However, more than 33% of British people have not gone to the dentist in the last couple of years.
In a recent study, almost 40% of Brits are unhappy with their teeth.
More than three million British nationals experience oral pain
More than 2/3rd British people experience plaque.
Problems like alignment issues and crooked teeth are the common causes of complicated dental issues like:

Chewing disorder and indigestion
Tooth decay
Gingivitis
Periodontitis
Speech problems
Confidence and self-esteem issues.
If you are looking for a cost-effective, discreet, and easy solution to minor dental alignment issues, all you need is Invisalign Lite.

What is Invisalign Lite?

Invisalign Lite like its parent product Invisalign. It is a clear aligner system that is used to solve minor dental

problems in a time span of just six to seven months. The Invisalign Lite uses a fixed number of removable as well as almost invisible aligner trays to solve a wide range of dental issues. These discreet aligner trays are changed every couple of weeks. The aligner trays work gradually to correct your teeth position and alignment. And voila, before you or your co-workers realize it, you have a beautiful, confident smile to show off.

Effectiveness of Invisalign Lite

The transparent Invisalign Lite aligner trays are usually
recommended for mild cases of dental alignment issues. These include problems like:

Tiny spaces between teeth
Minor overcrowding
Crooked front teeth
Misalignment between upper and lower teeth
Wrongly positioned teeth.
Invisalign Lite treatment is not suitable for patients with complex dental problems. They are not recommended for people suffering from moderate to severe misalignment issues.

If you are confused about the right treatment plan to solve your dental troubles, contact the the dental experts at Natural Smiles for money-saving and efficient dental solutions.

Understanding the Invisalign Lite Treatment Process

The working of the Invisalign Lite is quite similar to the Invisalign Full treatment.

It completely does away with conventional, metal track wire braces.
The treatment commences with a detailed dental examination where your dentist confirms if you are eligible for an Invisalign Lite treatment.
Your dentist will plan your treatment based on x-rays, digital scans, oral scans, and dental impressions to create a personalized dental plan.
They use 3-D technology to make aligners that fit perfectly to your teeth.
These clear aligners are designed to gradually move your teeth to their correct position.
The trays can be easily removed during the day for eating or drinking.
Dentists recommend that the trays should be worn for at least 22 hours for satisfactory results.
Usually, about 10 to 14 aligner trays are used throughout the process.
Each aligner tray needs to be replaced at an interval of two to three weeks.
You may need a follow-up appointment with your doctor after a couple of months so that they can keep a check on the treatment.
Typical Invisalign Lite treatment duration is approximately six to eight months.

Do I need Invisalign Full or Invisalign Lite?

Both the Invisalign Full as well as the Invisalign Lite are very helpful in solving dental alignment problems. Here’s a quick understanding of the difference between Invisalign Full and Invisalign Lite:

Grade of Correction: An Invisalign Full treatment is recommended for patients suffering from moderate cases of dental problems. The Invisalign Lite uses a limited number of aligner trays up to a maximum of 14, so it can be recommended for people with mild dental alignment problems.
A number of aligner trays used: An Invisalign Full treatment may use an unlimited number of aligner trays if required to sort your crooked teeth. An Invisalign Lite treatment uses 10 to 14 aligner trays.

Duration of Dental Treatment: An Invisalign Full treatment may often need additional aligners for optimal results and a typical treatment may last approximately 12-18 months. On the other hand, an Invisalign Lite treatment is limited to a duration of six to eight months only.
Cost: The cost of the Invisalign Lite is substantially lesser than the Invisalign Full treatment cost.

Benefits of Invisalign Lite

Invisalign has brought about a pragmatic change to cosmetic dental treatments. These almost invisible aligner trays offer several benefits to users:

Comfort: Invisalign Lite uses advanced 3D- technology to create the aligner trays. The trays are customized to fit each person and are very comfortable to wear.
Painless: Invisalign Lite treatment is almost painless and involves no surgery. It is ideal for elderly people or patients with other health problems.
Transparent: Invisalign Lite aligner trays are completely transparent. They are almost invisible when worn inside the mouth. As a result, they are ideal for seniors, young adults, and people who are self-conscious about their appearance.
No food restrictions: The Invisalign Lite trays can be removed easily while eating or drinking. Users can enjoy hard food or drinks that stain without worrying about damaging the aligner trays.
Zero maintenance: The Invisalign trays are not prone to damage easily. They do not require frequent visits to the dentist and are very convenient for people with busy schedules.
Short treatment: The Invisalign Lite treatment extends for a maximum of six to eight months. Within a short span of time, the discrete trays help to solve mild dental alignment problems that would otherwise have needed a long and complicated dental process.
Cost-effective: The Invisalign Lite is a cost-effective and economical solution that helps prevent the onset of complex dental issues.

How much does an Invisalign Lite Treatment cost?

If you are shying away from Invisalign Lite treatment due to its high cost, let’s do some myth-busting for you. A private dental fitting of a traditional metal brace in the UK costs approximately £2000 to £4000. Believe it or not, you can get the many benefits of Invisalign Lite at almost the same price. Yes, the approximate cost of Invisalign Lite in the UK is £2000 to £3850.
