Tooth Straightening With Invisalign
Invisalign can treat many common problems, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, crooked teeth and some bite problems. Because the aligners are clear, most people will not notice you are wearing them.
You remove the aligners to eat, drink and brush, so there are no food restrictions and cleaning your teeth is easy. There are no metal brackets or wires, and the smooth plastic aligners are comfortable to wear.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
Your treatment starts with a consultation, where the dentist checks your teeth and gums and discusses what you would like to change. A digital plan then shows how your teeth will move, step by step, so you can see the expected result before you begin.
You wear each set of aligners for around 22 hours a day and change to the next set every few weeks, as advised by your dentist, so your teeth move gradually into their planned position. Regular check-ups at our Littleover practice keep your treatment on track. When treatment is complete, retainers help to keep your new smile in place. Many patients finish with teeth whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Invisalign painful?
You may feel some pressure for a day or two when you start a new set of aligners. This is a sign that the aligners are working and it usually settles quickly.
How long does Invisalign take?
Treatment time depends on how much your teeth need to move. Many cases take between 6 and 18 months. Your dentist will give you an estimate at your consultation.
Can adults have Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults who want straighter teeth without visible braces.
Do I have to wear my aligners all the time?
For the best results, aligners should be worn for about 22 hours a day and only removed to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth.
Do I need retainers after Invisalign?
Yes. Teeth naturally try to move back, so retainers are needed to keep your smile straight. We will explain your retainer options.
