Invisalign® is the world’s leading clear aligner system, trusted by millions of patients worldwide since its introduction in the late 1990s. Unlike traditional fixed metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible removable aligners to gradually and gently move your teeth into their desired position.
Each aligner is crafted from Invisalign’s patented SmartTrack® material – a proprietary thermoplastic designed to fit snugly over your teeth, apply consistent gentle forces, and provide superior comfort compared to conventional braces. The result is a discreet, comfortable, and effective approach to orthodontic treatment.
At the heart of every Invisalign treatment is the ClinCheck® 3D treatment planning technology. This advanced software allows your dentist to map out the precise, staged movement of your teeth from their starting position through to the final result – before your treatment even begins. You can preview your anticipated outcome from the very first appointment.
Invisalign® is suitable for a wide range of patients and can address many common orthodontic concerns. It is particularly well-suited to adults and older teenagers who prefer a discreet alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign® may be appropriate if you have any of the following:
Invisalign® may not be suitable for more complex orthodontic cases or for patients who are still growing. During your complimentary consultation at The Holland Park Dentist, your dentist will carry out a thorough clinical assessment to determine whether Invisalign® is the right option for you and advise on any alternative treatments if appropriate.
Please note: Invisalign® treatment is carried out by a qualified dental professional. Treatment suitability is determined on a case-by-case basis following a full clinical examination.
Every Invisalign® treatment at The Holland Park Dentist is completely bespoke. Here is what you can expect at each stage:
Your journey begins with a no-obligation consultation with one of our dentists. We will discuss your concerns, examine your teeth and bite, and determine whether Invisalign® is clinically appropriate for you. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions and to understand the full scope of the proposed treatment.
If you proceed with treatment, we will take detailed digital impressions (scans) of your teeth using our intraoral scanner – no messy dental putty. These scans are used to create your personalised ClinCheck® 3D treatment plan, which maps the precise, incremental movements of your teeth throughout your treatment.
You will be able to view a simulation of your anticipated results before committing to treatment.
Your treatment plan is sent to the Invisalign® laboratory, where your custom aligners are precision-manufactured by expert technicians using SmartTrack® material. Each aligner in the series is slightly different, progressively moving your teeth towards their final position.
Once your aligners are ready, you will return to the practice for your fitting appointment. We will ensure your aligners fit correctly and comfortably, and provide you with full instructions on how to wear and care for them.
For the best results, your aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day – day and night. You will remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and for your oral hygiene routine (brushing and flossing). You will typically progress to a new set of aligners approximately every one to two weeks, as directed by your dentist.
You will attend regular check-up appointments throughout your treatment so that your dentist can monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure your treatment is on track.
Once your active aligner treatment is complete, it is important to wear a retainer to maintain your results. Your dentist will discuss the most appropriate retention option for you, which may include removable or fixed retainers.
Invisalign® is a clinically proven orthodontic treatment that has been used to treat over 15 million patients worldwide. When worn as directed and under the guidance of a qualified dental professional, patients can typically expect:
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your individual case and is typically between 6 and 18 months. Your dentist will give you a more accurate estimate following your clinical assessment.
Results are dependent on wearing your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day. Inconsistent wear may extend your treatment time or affect the outcome. Your dentist will advise you throughout the process.

Invisalign® aligners are made from a clear, smooth thermoplastic material and are designed to be virtually invisible when worn. Most people will not notice you are wearing them in everyday situations. However, they may be slightly visible on very close inspection.
Invisalign® aligners are generally well tolerated. You may experience some mild pressure or discomfort for the first few days after switching to a new set of aligners, which is normal and indicates that the aligners are working. This typically settles quickly. If you experience significant or persistent pain, please contact the practice.
For the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking (anything other than plain water), brushing, and flossing. Insufficient wear may delay your treatment or affect the final outcome.
You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water. Eating with aligners in place can damage them and may also cause staining. After eating, brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners.
Rinse your aligners under lukewarm (not hot) water whenever you remove them. Clean them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of clear, unscented soap or the Invisalign® cleaning crystals. Avoid using toothpaste directly on your aligners, as it can cause scratching. Never use hot water, as this can warp the material.
The duration of Invisalign® treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients complete treatment within 6 to 18 months. A more accurate estimate will be provided by your dentist following your clinical assessment.
Some patients notice a slight change in their speech, such as a temporary lisp, when they first start wearing their aligners. This is normal and usually resolves within a few days as you adapt to wearing them.
Once your active aligner treatment is finished, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your results. Without retention, teeth can gradually shift back towards their original position over time. Your dentist will advise you on the most suitable type of retainer and how often it should be worn.
There is a version of the treatment called Invisalign® Teen, which is designed specifically for younger patients whose teeth and jaws are still developing. Your dentist will assess whether this option is appropriate during the consultation.
Simply contact us to book your complimentary Invisalign® consultation. One of our experienced dentists will carry out a full assessment, discuss your goals, and advise whether Invisalign® is the right treatment for you. There is no obligation to proceed.
