What to Consider Before Starting Invisalign
Clear, Removable Aligners
Invisalign aligners can be removed for meals, drinks, brushing and flossing, as well as occasionally for important social or professional events.
With no fixed brackets or wires, they provide a flexible and less noticeable alternative to traditional braces.
Your Invisalign Consultation
The first stage is a detailed consultation to examine your teeth, bite and overall oral health. Our 3D intraoral scanner creates an accurate digital model of your smile without conventional impression trays.
Using Invisalign ClinCheck software, we can then plan the proposed tooth movements and show you a digital preview of how your smile could look after treatment.
Invisalign Treatment Times
Treatment length varies according to the complexity of your case and the amount of movement required. Some suitable smiles may be treated in around six months, although more involved cases can take longer.
Changes may become noticeable within the first few weeks. Wearing your aligners for the recommended time each day and using retainers after treatment will help you achieve and maintain the planned result.

How Invisalign Treatment Works
Invisalign gradually straightens teeth using a personalised sequence of transparent aligners, avoiding the metal brackets and wires associated with conventional fixed braces.
The aligners can be removed when eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth, helping your treatment fit more comfortably around everyday life.
Each set is shaped to apply controlled pressure to specific teeth. You will change to the next aligner at intervals prescribed by your dentist, with every set moving your smile another step towards its planned position.

The Invisalign Treatment Process
Step

Step

Consultation and Smile Preview
Your Invisalign journey starts with a comprehensive smile assessment. Our in house TRIOS 3Shape scanner captures precise, comfortable 3D scans of your teeth without requiring traditional dental impressions.
Smile simulation software can provide an early indication of how your teeth could look following treatment. We will also take any necessary photographs and X-rays before preparing your personalised plan and discussing the available payment options.
Step
Review Your Invisalign ClinCheck
We will present your personalised ClinCheck animation before your aligners are manufactured. This digital plan demonstrates how your teeth are expected to move throughout each stage of treatment.
It will also show the proposed final result and provide an estimated timescale, allowing you to understand the planned changes before committing to treatment.
Step
Begin Wearing Your Custom Aligners
When your first sets of aligners arrive, we will check that they fit correctly and explain how to insert, remove and care for them.
Invisalign aligners are made using flexible SmartTrack material and trimmed around the gum line for a close, comfortable fit. Small tooth-coloured attachments may occasionally be placed onto certain teeth to support more precise movements. These will be removed when they are no longer required.
Step
Attend Your Progress Reviews
Review appointments are usually arranged every four to six weeks. These visits allow us to monitor your tooth movement, make sure treatment is progressing as planned and provide your next sets of aligners.
Invisalign treatment frequently takes between three and 18 months, although the exact length depends on your individual case and how consistently you wear the aligners.
For treatment to remain on schedule, you will usually need to wear them for approximately 22 hours each day, removing them only for meals, drinks other than water and oral hygiene.
How Long Does Invisalign Straightening Last and What is the Cost?
The length of Invisalign treatment varies from person to person. It will depend on the starting positions of your teeth, the complexity of the required movements and how closely you follow your prescribed wearing schedule.
Aligners should generally be worn for around 22 hours each day. Removing them for prolonged periods can delay tooth movement and increase your overall treatment time. Regular progress appointments also allow us to confirm that your teeth are responding as expected.
Some straightforward cases may be completed within a few months, while more complex treatment can take a year or longer. Your personalised ClinCheck simulation will provide a clearer estimate before your treatment begins.
The cost of Invisalign is also based on your individual needs and the type of plan required. Following your consultation, we will provide a full breakdown of the anticipated treatment fees.

Call our reception team today on 020 8866 2140 to book your Invisalign consultation.
Can I preview my expected result?
Yes. Invisalign ClinCheck software creates a computer-generated 3D representation of the proposed tooth movements and anticipated final result.
This allows you to see how your smile could change and understand the planned stages before your custom aligners are produced.
Are some orthodontic problems unsuitable for Invisalign?
Invisalign can treat many orthodontic concerns, but it may not be appropriate for every patient. Suitability depends on the nature and complexity of the tooth or bite movements required.
Your dentist will carefully assess your smile and explain whether Invisalign can achieve a predictable result or whether another treatment option should be considered. The aligners may initially affect your speech or feel tight, but this usually improves as you become accustomed to wearing them.
Who may be suitable for Invisalign?
Invisalign may be suitable for adults and teenagers with crooked teeth, gaps, mild to moderate crowding or certain bite concerns.
It may also help people whose teeth have moved following previous orthodontic treatment, particularly if retainers were not worn as instructed. A clinical assessment is required before suitability can be confirmed.
Do Invisalign clear aligners work?
Yes, Invisalign can provide effective teeth straightening when used for a suitable case and worn according to your dentist’s instructions.
Each aligner applies carefully controlled pressure to selected teeth. You will progress through the series at the prescribed intervals, gradually guiding your teeth towards the positions mapped out in your digital plan.
Can Invisalign treat crooked teeth?
Invisalign can treat many cases involving crooked, crowded or unevenly spaced teeth. It may also improve certain overbite, underbite and crossbite concerns.
The results that can be achieved depend on your individual tooth positions and bite. Your consultation and digital assessment will help determine whether Invisalign is an appropriate option.
What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign aligners are transparent, removable and made specifically for your teeth. They are much less noticeable than conventional fixed braces and contain no metal brackets or wires.
You can remove them for meals and clean your teeth normally, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. Their smooth edges are carefully shaped around the gum line for a comfortable fit.
Under the guidance of your dentist, your aligners may also be suitable for use alongside prescribed home teeth whitening.
Can I remove my aligners for a special occasion?
Yes. Your aligners can occasionally be removed for events such as weddings, parties or important meetings.
However, you should aim to wear them for approximately 22 hours each day. Frequently leaving your aligners out for extended periods can delay your progress and lengthen treatment.
How do I change my Invisalign braces?
Your dentist will demonstrate how to insert and remove your aligners safely when you collect your first sets. You will also have an opportunity to practise before leaving the practice.
You should change to each new aligner according to your personalised schedule. Do not move to the next set sooner than advised, as every aligner needs sufficient time to complete its planned movement.
How often will I need to visit Dental House?
Progress reviews are commonly arranged every four to eight weeks. During these appointments, your dentist will check that your teeth are moving in accordance with the digital plan.
If everything is progressing correctly, you will receive your next sets of aligners and instructions for the next stage of treatment.
How frequently should I change my Invisalign aligners?
Many patients change to a new set every seven to 14 days. However, the correct interval will depend on your individual treatment plan and how your teeth respond.
Always follow the schedule provided by your dentist rather than changing your aligners early.
Will my teeth remain straight after Invisalign?
Teeth can naturally move throughout life, so retainers are essential after Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments.
Once your treatment is complete, we will provide or recommend suitable retainers to help maintain your new tooth positions. Wearing them as instructed will give you the best opportunity to preserve your straighter smile.
How long will my Invisalign treatment take?
We begin by examining and digitally scanning your teeth. Invisalign planning software is then used to map the intended tooth movements and create a preview of the proposed result.
Once you approve the plan, your custom aligners are manufactured. You will wear each set for the prescribed period before moving to the next, gradually guiding your teeth towards their planned positions. Regular reviews allow us to monitor your progress throughout treatment.
How does Invisalign treatment work?
Once you decide to have your teeth straightened at Dental House, we will start by creating a treatment plan and using 3D computer-imaging technology can show you what your teeth could look like after the orthodontic treatment.
Assuming you are happy with the proposed results we then get your Invisalign aligners (clear braces) printed. You will then wear these to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
