Straighten your teeth the virtually invisible way

An increasingly popular treatment with both adults and teenagers, Invisalign is a discreet, minimally invasive and very effective way to achieve your dream straighter smile. Unlike traditional fixed braces they have no metal wires or brackets. The invisible braces are clear, comfortable and extremely easy to use.

Invisalign can be used to correct a variety of orthodontic issues, including misaligned or crowded teeth, gaps and bite problems, which are often genetic. As well as improving your smile and boosting your confidence, straightening your teeth can have a positive effect on your overall experience, enhancing and balancing your facial shape and structure.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign, also sometimes known as clear braces, uses a series of clear, custom-made teeth aligners to move the positions of your teeth. Wearing each aligner for the recommended 20-22 hours per day allows the gentle and gradual forces to work steadily across the length of your treatment, resulting in your beautifully straight dream smile.

Invisalign fits seamlessly into your everyday life, as the transparent braces are virtually invisible when worn. The aligners are completely removable, meaning you can continue eating and drinking whatever you choose, and don’t need to make any major lifestyle changes or feel you have to miss out on special events. Indeed, no-one needs to know you are on a journey to beautifully straight teeth until they notice you smiling much more once your treatment is complete!

What does the treatment involve?

Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing in detail what you want to change about your smile and your ideal final outcome. We then examine your teeth and take 3D scans and images using our iTero scanner. This ensures your aligners fit accurately and comfortably. We can even use our scanner and simulation to give you a preview of your smile results!

Treatment Planning

Using the iTero 3D scans and images, we create your individual treatment plan. This also contains your proposed treatment length and costs involved, which we are happy to discuss with you further. We can even show you step by step how your teeth will move at this stage, using innovative ClinCheck software. You will also be shown how to care for and clean your aligners.

Straightening Journey

As you wear each aligner in the series, for 1-2 weeks before moving to the next, your teeth move little by little until your smile goal has been achieved. The bespoke aligners carefully control the amount and timing of movement as per your precise treatment plan to keep your Invisalign treatment on track. We see you at regular appointments to monitor your progress and make small adjustments if necessary.

Start Smiling!

When you have finished wearing your last aligner, your treatment is complete! We give you a retainer to help maintain your results and ensure you are happy with your new look before leaving you to show off your new smile!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will Invisalign affect the way I talk?

A: You may notice slight changes to your speech at first as you get used to the feel of the aligners in your mouth. However, this is temporary and will only last a few days. You should be talking clearly and confidently before long.

Q: Will I be able to feel the aligners in my mouth?

A: Invisalign aligners are thin, secure, and comfortable. You may be able to feel them more at first, but they will soon feel normal and become just part of your mouth, easily worn for up to 22 hours a day. The aligners fit very snugly over your teeth and don’t contain any metal to irritate the mouth.

Q: How long do I need to wear the aligners for each day?

A: You need to wear your aligners for around 22 hours a day in order for your treatment to be most effective. You can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing your teeth and playing contact sports.

Q: What are Invisalign aligners made of?

A: The aligners are made from strong medical grade thermoplastic material, which has been uniquely developed for the Invisalign system.

Q: Is Invisalign expensive?

A: The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on each individual case, with more complex cases needing more aligners, and therefore being more expensive. We will give you an accurate cost for your treatment during your initial consultation, once we have examined your teeth and assessed your case. To help you spread the cost of treatment, we offer flexible finance options, which we are happy to discuss with you.

Q: Will I need to wear retainers after my treatment?

A: Yes, you will need to wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions following your Invisalign treatment. Teeth have a habit of moving out of place, so you will need to wear retainers on a part time basis (usually overnight) for as long as you wish your teeth to stay straight. You will be given fixed or removable retainers.

Q: How long does Invisalign treatment take?

A: Treatment length varies from case to case, but most Invisalign treatments are completed in 9-18 months. Straightforward cases have a faster treatment time, whilst patients needing more complex straightening can expect to wear their aligners for longer. We can advise you of your expected treatment time after your initial consultation.
