Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment designed to straighten crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. The system uses a series of custom-made, transparent plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Using advanced 3D digital imaging, your dentist or orthodontist maps out a precise treatment plan, allowing you to see your expected final smile before you even begin.
Every one to two weeks, you switch to the next set of aligners in the series, gently and gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal positions. Because the aligners are virtually invisible and fully removable, they fit seamlessly into everyday life, allowing you to eat, drink, and clean your teeth with complete ease throughout your treatment journey.
Made from clear medical-grade plastic, the aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth with confidence.
You can easily take them out to eat your favourite meals, brush, and floss, maintaining optimal oral hygiene without dietary restrictions.
Smooth, custom-trimmed edges prevent the irritation, cuts, and mouth sores often associated with metal brackets and wires.
Digital 3D planning maps out every movement in advance, giving you a clear timeline and preview of your final smile.
For optimal results, you must wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than cold water), brush, and floss.
The average treatment time in the UK ranges from 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your misalignment and how consistently you wear your aligners.
You may experience mild pressure or tenderness for the first couple of days after switching to a new set of aligners. This is completely normal and indicates that your teeth are moving correctly.
No, Invisalign is only available through private dental clinics in the UK. NHS orthodontic treatment is typically limited to metal braces for under-18s with clear clinical needs.
Yes, wearing a retainer (such as a Vivera retainer) at night is essential to keep your newly straightened teeth from gradually shifting back to their original positions.
