What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. Each set of aligners is individually designed to fit your teeth and gently move them towards their ideal position over time.

The aligners are manufactured using precise digital technology, providing a comfortable fit and predictable treatment outcomes.

Benefits of Invisalign

Many patients choose Invisalign because it offers several advantages over traditional braces:

  • Virtually invisible clear aligners.
  • Removable for eating and drinking.
  • Easy to remove for brushing and flossing.
  • Comfortable, custom-made fit.
  • No metal brackets or wires.
  • Fewer disruptions to everyday life.
  • Suitable for teenagers and adults.
  • Predictable and effective teeth straightening.

Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods while maintaining excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment.

I cannot rate Lucia Palladino highly enough. I’ve had hygienist treatments with Lucia for the last 8 months or so and in that short period of time, the treatment has been so successful, I may be the first person ever to say I wanted to give my hygienist a hug!

Saw hygienist Namra, she was very thorough, yet patient with me as I am anxious. Very happy with treatment and care received.

I’ve been a patient here for many years and have complete trust in the team for their skills, range of services and attention to detail. I have moved a long way away from the surgery but have never considered changing dentists. Also a special mention to Molly on the reception desk. Molly is so friendly, attentive and always gives everyone a warm welcome. I have observed that she goes out of her way for everyone to make sure their needs and queries are met. In a wold where service is being more and more dehumanised, Molly does the exact opposite, and provides such a genuine, authentic human experience for everyone ..

I’ve just finished a course of dental treatment with Kirrit Johal and really pleased with the results. I’ve been with Claremont for over 20 years and have always found the front staff, nurses, and the dentists to be very friendly and professional. Highly recommended. 😊

Love Claremont practice, the dentists and hygienists are all excellent. I broke my tooth just after Christmas and they were able to arrange an emergency appointment to fix it. The admin is well managed with regular appointment reminders. The best thing of all is that they take NHS appointments. 100% recommend.

Don’t normally do this sort of thing - let alone for a trip to the dentist - but wanted to sing the praises for my hygienist Lucia today. Great job - and without the usual discomfort. Won’t go as far as saying I look forward to my next visit - but I know it’ll be fine with this hygienist.

Very efficient treatment by Ayshath (Hygienist) followed by routine examination with Dr. Johal. Happy to escape so lightly!

Frequently Asked Questions

Both treatments are highly effective. Invisalign offers a more discreet and removable alternative to fixed braces, making it a popular option for many adults and teenagers.

No. Aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This allows you to continue enjoying your normal diet throughout treatment.

For the best results, Invisalign aligners should typically be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day and only removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene.

Most patients experience mild pressure when changing to a new aligner, which is a sign that the treatment is working. Any discomfort is usually temporary and settles within a few days.
