Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners to treat a variety of straightening issues, from minor tooth movements to more complex cases. It offers a new and much more aesthetic way to achieve your dream smile.
The custom made aligners are nearly invisible so other people will not even notice that you’re wearing them unless you tell them. This makes it the perfect option to suit your lifestyle and fit seamlessly into your daily routines. A brand new smile in as little as six months!
At The Garden Dental & Implant Clinic, we are proud to be able to transform your smile and improve your confidence with Invisalign.
We see you for a thorough consultation to determine whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment.
If treatment is right for you, we’ll take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. Then we’ll create you a digital treatment plan, using our state-of-the-art technology, showing you what your results could look like via a 3D video.
We’ll give you a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home on average every 1-2 weeks. We recommend you wear your aligners for 22 hours a day to keep your treatment progress on track. As they’re removable, it’s easy to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your usual diet.
We’ll invite you back to the practice around every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and hand over your new aligners. We also give you the chance to ask any questions. Each appointment gets you one step closer to your new smile!
Once you’ve worn each set of custom aligners, your treatment is complete and your new beautiful smile ready to show off! At the end of your treatment, you will need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile.
We appreciate that our patients have busy lives and we aim to keep any disruption from the treatment at a minimum. Our digital techniques and technology allow us to minimise the time taken to accurately plan your treatment.
Our cutting-edge equipment maximises accuracy and minimises any discomfort. It also helps us achieve outstanding results for your smile.
At The Garden Dental & Implant Clinic, patient safety and comfort comes first. Our practice is clean, sterile and well-ventilated, with a relaxed and calm atmosphere.
We take time to ensure your new smile is exactly as you imagined it, and help you keep it that way with bespoke retainers and tailored advice.
The average price for Invisalign treatment ranges between £2,000 and £6,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the length of treatment. Factors such as the region, the experience of the provider, and any additional treatments required can also influence the overall cost.
Invisalign can provide long-term results if the treatment plan is followed correctly and if post-treatment care is maintained. However, like with traditional braces, wearing a retainer after treatment is crucial to maintain the new alignment of your teeth and prevent them from shifting back.
The active Invisalign treatment usually lasts between 12 to 18 months, though this can vary based on the individual case. The results, if maintained properly with retainer use, can last a lifetime.
Yes, wearing a retainer after Invisalign treatment is typically recommended to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. While you may not need to wear the retainer all the time forever, it’s often advised to wear it nightly indefinitely.
There is no upper age limit for Invisalign treatment. Adults of all ages can benefit from Invisalign, as long as their teeth and gums are healthy. It’s a popular choice among adults seeking discreet orthodontic treatment.
Yes, you should wear your Invisalign aligners both day and night, for about 20 to 22 hours a day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign is generally less painful than traditional braces, but you may experience some discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth into their new positions.
Yes, you can get Invisalign treatment for just your top teeth, known as single-arch treatment. However, your orthodontist will need to assess whether this is suitable for your specific case, as treating only one arch can sometimes affect the overall bite.
Yes, it is recommended to brush your teeth after every meal before putting your Invisalign aligners back in. This helps prevent food particles and bacteria from being trapped between your teeth and the aligners, which can lead to decay and bad breath.
You can take your Invisalign aligners out as needed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, but you should aim to wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day. Limiting the time they are out of your mouth ensures the treatment progresses as planned.
