Luke and his peg tooth

You will need to remove your Invisalign aligners when eating. You can also remove them for special occasions and when playing sports, but remember to wear them 22 hours daily.  Find out more here.

Invisalign treatment can take around 12 – 18 months, but it can be as quick as six months, depending on the complexity of your treatment.

Invisalign is the first FDA-approved clear aligner teeth straightening system, used by more dentists than any other brand of clear aligner. It means you can straighten your teeth without people knowing.

Always. It doesn’t matter whether you use Invisalign or old train track braces. Without a retainer, your teeth will move back a certain degree.

We can provide fixed retainers (a thin piece of metal behind the teeth) or removable retainers (similar to the Invisalign aligners). This is down to you, and we can discuss which option is best at your consultation. Find out more about retainers here.

The cost of Invisalign teeth straightening will depend on the severity of the case. On average, the price will be between £1,500 and £3,995.

The Invisalign system uses 3-D digital scans of your teeth to make a series of custom made clear plastic aligners. Every week, you change your aligners for the next ones in the set until you have used them all. During this time, you will have face-to-face dental appointments every six to ten weeks to check your progress, as well as virtual check-ins to ensure everything is seamless weekly. 

We’d discourage you from doing this as it can cause staining to the aligners. Although you don’t wear them for long, they will still darken. Find out more here.
