Invisalign®Removable aligners

Invisalign®

Thin, clear trays made for your teeth alone, a quieter way for adults and teenagers to straighten up.

Invisalign® explained

Most people who ask us about Invisalign® have one question first: will anyone notice? Usually not. The trays are thin, clear plastic, and they sit snugly over your teeth, so in everyday conversation they are hard to spot.

Treatment works as a sequence. We scan your teeth digitally, then a run of trays is made, each one shaped a fraction differently from the last. You move on to the next tray when told, and your teeth follow step by step. Because the trays come out, meals and brushing carry on much as normal.

Here in Sevenoaks, a Specialist Orthodontist builds your plan and checks it at each review. Before you commit, the scan lets us show you a simulation of where your teeth are expected to finish, so the goal is clear from the outset.

Step by step

How treatment unfolds

A Specialist Orthodontist oversees each stage, from the first scan to your retainers.

  1. 1

    Scan and simulation

    A digital scan maps your teeth, and we walk you through a simulation of the planned movement.

  2. 2

    Tray by tray

    You wear each tray for the stated number of days, then switch, with reviews along the way.

  3. 3

    Hold the result

    When the last tray is done, we supply retainers so the teeth stay where they finished.

Your questions

Questions we are often asked

What is the typical treatment time?

Every case differs. Many people finish somewhere between six months and a year and a half, and your orthodontist will give you a personal estimate after your scan.

Will the aligners feel sore?

There is usually a feeling of tightness for a day or so after you start a new tray. That pressure is expected and tends to ease quickly.

How many hours a day do I wear them?

Aligners only work while they are in. Your orthodontist will tell you the daily wear time to aim for, and most people keep them in for all but meals and brushing.
