What is Invisalign® Treatment?

Invisalign® is a clear aligner treatment that gradually straightens teeth.

Instead of fixed braces, treatment uses removable aligners that gently move teeth into better alignment over time.

Many patients choose Invisalign® because the aligners are discreet and can be removed when eating or brushing.

  • Clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth.
  • Each aligner is worn for about 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Teeth gradually move between each stage of treatment.
  • Aligners are removable for eating and brushing.

What to Expect: Exam & Treatment

At your Invisalign® exam, we’ll assess your teeth and explain whether clear aligners are the right option for you.

  • Examination of your teeth and gums.
  • A digital 3D scan of your teeth to plan how they will move during treatment.
  • Confirmation that Invisalign® is suitable.
  • Clear discussion of treatment cost before starting.

The digital scan allows us to create a personalised treatment plan showing how your teeth are expected to move during Invisalign® treatment.

Invisalign® treatment usually takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the amount of tooth movement required. To keep treatment on track, aligners should typically be worn for 20-22 hours per day.

  • A digital scan of your teeth is used to create a personalised treatment plan.
  • Custom-made aligners are created specifically for your teeth.
  • Each aligner gently moves your teeth towards their planned position.
  • Aligners are usually worn for around 1–2 weeks before moving to the next stage.
  • Aligners are removed when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
  • Review appointments are typically scheduled every  6–8 weeks.

As you move through each stage of treatment, your teeth gradually move into better alignment.

After Invisalign® treatment is complete, retainers help maintain your teeth’s position.

  • Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions.
  • Most patients wear retainers full-time initially.
  • Retainers are usually worn at night long-term.
  • Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups help maintain results.

Benefits of Invisalign® Treatment

There are many benefits to choosing Invisalign® as your teeth-straightening treatment, compared to more traditional braces and other options.

Discreet appearance

Invisalign® aligners are made from clear, medical-grade plastic, so they sit closely over your teeth and are barely noticeable when worn. This makes them a more subtle option compared to fixed braces, allowing you to go about your day with minimal impact on your appearance.

Comfortable fit

Custom-made aligners are designed to fit your teeth closely so they can be worn comfortably throughout the day. This custom-fit provides high levels of comfort, easily allowing you to wear your clear aligner for the recommended 22 hours a day without pain, irritation or discomfort.

Fast results

Invisalign® teeth-straightening generally takes 6-18 months to achieve full results. The average duration of Invisalign® dental treatment is 6 to 9 months, though you will typically start seeing early results in a matter of weeks.

Easy to remove

During your Invisalign® teeth-straightening journey, you only need to remove your retainer when eating, brushing, or flossing. Your Invisalign® clear aligner has been designed to be removed quickly and easily, so that it doesn’t get in the way throughout your day. Because Invisalign® is so easy to remove, there are no restrictions on what you can eat while undergoing treatment.

Clinically proven results

Invisalign® is one of the most advanced and effective cosmetic dental treatments available today and has helped over 3 million people achieve the smile they want.

Am I suitable for Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is suitable for many people, including those with mild to moderate alignment issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, or bite problems. However, an exam with our dentists is necessary to determine if Invisalign® is the right option for your specific dental needs.

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

Most Invisalign® treatments take between 12 and 18 months, although the exact timeline depends on the complexity of your case. During your exam, our dentists will assess your teeth and provide a personalised estimate for how long your treatment is likely to take.

How many hours per day do I need to wear Invisalign® aligners?

Invisalign® aligners should typically be worn for 20-22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Wearing them for the recommended time helps ensure your teeth move as planned and keeps your treatment on schedule.

Will Invisalign® results look natural?

Yes, Invisalign® results are designed to look natural. The treatment gradually aligns your teeth while maintaining a natural-looking smile.

Will people notice I’m wearing Invisalign® aligners?

Most people won’t notice you’re wearing Invisalign® aligners. They are made from clear, medical-grade plastic that fits closely over your teeth, making them discreet when worn. Because the aligners are virtually transparent, they blend naturally with your teeth and are usually only noticeable if someone looks very closely.

Does Invisalign® hurt?

You may feel mild pressure or discomfort during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This is completely normal, as it means your aligners are gently moving your teeth into the right position. 

Most patients describe the feeling as pressure rather than pain. It usually settles after a few days. If needed, over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease any soreness. The good news is that most patients find Invisalign® much more comfortable than traditional braces, since there are no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.

Will Invisalign® affect my speech?

Some people may experience a short adjustment period when they first start wearing Invisalign® aligners. Any speech changes are usually minor and temporary, and most patients adapt within a few days as their mouths become accustomed to the aligners.

Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign® aligners?

Yes. Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This removable design makes maintaining excellent oral hygiene simple and ensures you can enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions.

How often do I need appointments during treatment?

Most patients visit our practices every 6-8 weeks for progress monitoring and to receive new aligners. These brief appointments ensure your treatment stays on track and address any concerns promptly.

Are there any side effects of Invisalign® treatment?

Some patients may experience mild discomfort, temporary tooth sensitivity, or slight changes in speech at the beginning of Invisalign® treatment, but these side effects are typically temporary and subside as you adjust to the aligners.

Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?

Yes. Retainers help maintain the position of your teeth after Invisalign® treatment. Most patients wear retainers more frequently at first before transitioning to wearing them at night long-term.

We provide custom retainers and clear guidance on how and when to wear them.

How long will I need to wear a retainer?

Retainers help maintain the position of your teeth after Invisalign® treatment. Because teeth can gradually shift over time, retainers are usually recommended for lifelong use to help keep your teeth aligned.

Most patients wear their retainers more frequently at first, then transition to nighttime wear long-term. This typically means wearing your retainer for around 6-8 hours while sleeping.

Wearing your retainer consistently helps maintain the results achieved during Invisalign® treatment. Our dentists will provide custom retainers and clear guidance on how and when to wear them.

What’s the difference between Invisalign® aligners and retainers?

Invisalign® aligners are used during treatment to gradually move your teeth into better alignment. Each aligner is worn for around one to two weeks before moving to the next stage.

Retainers are used after treatment to help maintain your results. Once your teeth have moved into their new positions, retainers help keep them there. Most patients wear retainers more frequently at first and then transition to wearing them at night.

How much does Invisalign® cost?

Invisalign® treatment starts from £2,200, but as the treatment varies in complexity from person to person, the cost will differ depending on your unique situation. 

During your exam, our dentists will be able to give you an estimate of how long the treatment is likely to take from start to finish, and then provide a bespoke quotation for your treatment based on that estimate.
