Invisalign / Clear Aligners

You may find your speech is slightly different initially, as you get used to the feel of the Invisalign aligners in your mouth. However, this will soon improve and return to normal, allowing you to speak clearly and confidently once more.

The length of your Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case, and how far your teeth have to move. Most cases last from 9-18 months, but your treatment may take a shorter or longer time. We will give you an idea of your expected timescale at your initial consultation.

The cost of Invisalign depends on your case and which type of system you choose. As a guide, the cost of Invisalign can start from £1500 for the simplest treatments rising to £5200 for the more complex treatments. The average cost of Invisalign is in the region of £4000. We give you an idea of your expected costs at your initial consultation. You can also spread the cost with our interest-free payment plan, making Invisalign treatment more affordable.

If you lose one of your aligners, please contact us as soon as possible for further advice. In the meantime, you can wear an aligner from your previous set to prevent your teeth from moving too far out of line. We may also advise that you move straight onto your next set of aligners, depending on your individual case.

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.

Yes, you will need to wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions following your Invisalign treatment. Teeth have a habit of moving out of place, so you will need to wear retainers on a part time basis (usually overnight) for as long as you wish your teeth to stay straight. You will be given fixed or removable retainers.
