We at the Nightingale Clinic explains that Invisalign can be worth the cost for patients who want a discreet, removable alternative to fixed braces. It describes how clear aligners are custom-made, changed regularly and planned using scans, moulds or X-rays. Treatment may help with crooked teeth, gaps, bite issues and mild to complex alignment concerns. The page also notes that retainers are needed afterwards to maintain results.
More and more people are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. Whether in your professional life or when you are out socialising, an attractive smile can make you feel happier and more relaxed—as well as make the right impression. With the Invisalign technique, you can have the smile you always wanted without traditional metal braces.

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign
Your Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you can change every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move—little by little, week by week—until they have straightened into the final position prescribed by your dental surgeon.
Your treatment with Invisalign
Invisalign treatment starts with a visit to your dental surgeon, who will examine your teeth, take moulds and x-rays, and develop a computer model of your treatment. This ‘clincheck’ shows the series of movements your teeth will undergo over the course of treatment.
This computer-animated program will show you what your teeth are expected to be like at the end of treatment. You can review and agree on your treatment with your dental surgeon before the aligners are made for you. Treatment length varies by case, but the average Invisalign treatment is 6-12 months.
Invisalign can help treat a variety of orthodontic concerns, and studies have shown that it can also improve dental hygiene during treatment.
Your treatment is nearly invisible; almost no one can tell you’re wearing Invisalign. You can remove the aligners to eat and drink what you like.
Are you looking for straighter teeth? Invisalign could be the answer
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a type of brace for your teeth that can be used to treat mild to complex teeth straightening issues. Find out more.
What is the procedure used for?
The treatment is used to correct your smile – whether you have a misaligned bite, gaps in your teeth or a crooked smile. The great thing about Invisalign is that the braces are removable and nearly invisible, plus they are custom-made to move your teeth little by little, thereby keeping any discomfort to a minimum.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
In the hands of our experienced London Invisalign Provider, the treatment can address most mild-to-complex teeth-straightening issues. We suggest booking an appointment with your local dentist to find out more. Angel Smile in Islington is a recommended Nightingale Clinic Dentist to see how discreet Invisalign’s clear aligners can be.
What happens during the procedure?
Once your dentist has confirmed you’re eligible for treatment, they will take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression of your teeth. Your dentist will then use these to create a bespoke treatment plan designed to get the best results.
You will then have to wear a series of aligners every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks.
What are the side effects or risks?
You may experience tenderness in your teeth and gums, but the discomfort is generally minimal.
What results can I typically expect?
If you don’t wear your aligners for the recommended hours per day, you can affect your ability to finish on time and get your desired results, so you need to wear them.
Results and patient satisfaction for Invisalign is extremely high.
Aftercare
You’ll receive regular appointments at your practice to monitor progress and receive your new aligners. After finishing your treatment plan, retainers will be required to maintain your new smile.
You may also opt to have a teeth whitening treatment afterwards in order to have a great looking smile, whilst still keeping your own teeth.
