What is Invisalign?
Invisalign works through small, gradual movements of the teeth. This is achieved through wearing different aligners, each to be worn for one week until the last set. Each set of aligners gradually moves your teeth toward their desired position. Treatments can last between 7 weeks and 24 months, but it entirely depends on your individual treatment.
Why choose Invisalign?
Increasingly popular with adults and teenagers, Invisalign offers a discreet, minimally invasive, and highly effective way to change the appearance of your smile. It allows you to achieve your dream straighter smile comfortably, without any metal brackets or wires digging in and irritating your skin.
Invisalign is extremely easy to use, as custom-made aligners gradually move the positions of your teeth. All you need to do is wear each aligner for the recommended 20-22 hours each day and let the gradual and gentle forces get to work. Invisalign blends perfectly into your everyday life and requires no changes to your diet or lifestyle as the aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.
Invisalign’s innovative clear aligners are virtually invisible in the mouth when worn, giving a confidence boost even during treatment. 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!

How can Invisalign help?
Invisalign can help with a vast range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, misalignment, gaps, and incorrect bites. Straightening your teeth can also have a positive effect on your overall appearance, as bringing teeth into straighter positions enhances your facial shape and structure.
Straighter teeth and a winning smile give a huge boost to your self-esteem. Many patients find the confidence their new smile brings even starts during the treatment process, thanks to the virtually invisible clear aligners.

What is the Invisalign process?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently move your teeth into new positions to transform your smile.
- Initial Consultation – At your initial appointment, we will examine your teeth and take 3D scans and images to ensure your aligners have a precise and accurate fit. We can even use the latest digital technology to show you a preview of how your smile will look following treatment!
- ClinCheck & Treatment Plan – The scans and images taken of your teeth are used to create your bespoke treatment plan. Using innovative ClinCheck software, we can show you step by step how your teeth will move position as you wear your aligners.
- Gradual Straightening – You will need to wear each aligner in the series for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next one. As you wear each aligner in the series, your teeth move little by little until your new dream smile is created. The aligners control the amount and timing of movement based on your bespoke treatment plan, ensuring that each stage of treatment goes smoothly. We keep a close eye on your progress at your designated appointments, making small adjustments if necessary to ensure an incredible outcome.
- Smile!
Once you have worn your last aligner, treatment is complete, and you can get ready to show off your new straight smile! We will give you a final retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions for the long term.

Had a seamless experience with my Invisalign treatment with Dr Mital. He was incredibly clear on each stage of the process and really looked after me. I trusted him throughout the course of my braces and I’m really happy with how my teeth look. I would 100% recommend this practise for both Invisalign and general dental care.
FAQ’s
Some main differences between Invisalign and traditional braces are that Invisalign is virtually invisible, removable for easy cleaning, and often causes less discomfort than traditional braces. Invisalign is a great option for those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment. However, drawbacks of Invisalign include the need for strict compliance with wearing the aligners, whereas traditional braces are working all the time. Invisalign may not be suitable for severe orthodontic issues. Have a consultation with us to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your specific needs and lifestyle.
Invisalign has evolved and can effectively treat a wide range of dental issues, including overcrowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, the suitability of Invisalign for complex cases depends on individual circumstances and we can discuss that with you.

You need to wear your aligners for around 22 hours a day for your treatment to be most effective. You can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing your teeth, and playing contact sports.
The cost of treatment depends on each individual case, with complex cases needing more aligners and therefore becoming more expensive. We can give you the treatment cost based on the examination and assessment we carry out during your initial consultation. We offer payment plans and finance options to help you spread the cost of treatment.
Treatment length varies from case to case, but most Invisalign treatments are completed in 9-18 months. Straightforward cases have a faster treatment time, while 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.
