Invisalign is one of the most popular treatments in dentistry today and it has revolutionised the way orthodontic treatment is performed worldwide. Everyone knows about Invisalign and every dentist offers Invisalign. However, not all Invisalign is the same. The key is in the planning at the very beginning of treatment. For example, we can now plan treatments digitally in 3D with CBCT x rays, intra oral scans , photographs and facial scans which allows us to plan not only the tooth movement but also the roots. This is simply incredible and provides predictable results first time round. Technology is key to this and at Progressive Dentistry, we have the latest Lumina intra oral scanner, CBCT machine and facial analysis equipment all under one roof. 

Take a look at our case of the month to see how Dr Nissit Patel effectively treated our lovely patient with Invisalign. 

It is a very common belief that one is too old for orthodontic teeth straightening treatment. Braces are associated with teenagers and track metal brackets. However, orthodontics is available to everyone and at any age. Our case of the month in July 2026 was a classic Invisalign one to correct crowding, widen the smile line and improve the bite. Our lovely patient hated her smile for decades and was not aware that Invisalign would be suitable. After careful planning and communication, we are able to transform the smile and make our patient feel fantastic!

Porcelain veneers are still regarded as one of the main cosmetic dentistry techniques. In skilled hands, they can look just like teeth. Now, we are not talking 'Turkey Teeth' here! You may have seen many social media sites showing smile makeovers in Turkey with super white 'veneers'. In reality, these veneers are actually crowns that cover the entire tooth surface after the teeth have been cut down to little stumps. This is not cosmetic dentistry but butchery, to be blunt. 

Porcelain veneer treatment should be minimally invasive preserving as much tooth surface as possible. This way, the results are not only biologically safe but also life like and natural. The key detail is in the planning and close collaboration with the dental laboratory and technicians. Our case of the month for February shows a great case following these key principles.

One of our most popular cosmetic dental treatments is the Social 6 lingual brace. This is the truly invisible brace being placed behind the teeth so that no one will know that you are straightening your teeth! Most treatments only take three to four months. Get teeth ready for the Summer!
