Invisalign London

Available in more than 45 countries, this innovative orthodontic treatment is widely recognised as the most advanced clear aligner system, renowned for its ability to gently and effectively move teeth into better alignment, improving the appearance of a person’s smile.

Being virtually invisible, Invisalign braces enable you to correct the misalignment in your teeth in a nearly unnoticeable manner. Unlike traditional metal braces, no one will be able to tell you’re wearing them – having minimal impact on your day-to-day life.

If you’re keen to kickstart your teeth straightening journey or you’re curious about how the Invisalign system and align technology work, the first step is to attend a consultation.

During your initial consultation, our specialist orthodontists will discuss your dental imperfections and assess the condition of your teeth and gums.

If any dental concerns are found, such as gum disease, they should be treated first, before you can be considered for Invisalign.

If you decide to proceed, a personalised treatment plan addressing specific clinical and cosmetic concerns to help you achieve an attractive new smile will be developed.

Invisalign clear dental trays are made from SmartTrack.

This is a flexible, medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane material that doesn’t contain latex, BPA, or gluten, developed exclusively for the Invisalign brand.

It offers a snug fit and gentle moving force – plus, its high elasticity makes the aligners more comfortable to wear and easier to put on and remove.

Invisalign clear aligner treatment provides a discreet method to straighten teeth for both adults and adolescents. You’re never too old to achieve your dream smile.

Many alignment issues can be treated with invisible braces, from gapped teeth to crowding.

However, some severe cases will require more extensive orthodontic treatment.

The best way to find out whether you’re a suitable candidate for Invisalign is by booking a consultation at our modern London dental practice with one of our leading orthodontists, who’ll examine your teeth and advise on the best treatment for you.

Your experienced Invisalign dentist at Kai Dental will create a personalised plan based on your dental needs. Your case requirements and consistency in wearing the aligners will determine treatment duration. Mild crowding or small gaps will likely have a short treatment time, whereas complex alignment needs will take longer.

As with any orthodontic treatment that applies gentle pressure to induce tooth movement, you may initially feel slight discomfort while you adjust to your invisible braces and when switching to new aligners every few weeks. However, this is only temporary and indicates that your teeth are shifting.

Taking paracetamol can help to alleviate discomfort.

Our team at Kai Dental will make the procedure as pain-free as possible and provide advice to alleviate any slight discomfort.

The recommended daily length of time to wear your removable aligner trays is 20-22 hours to achieve your ideal future smile.

Leaving your aligners out for longer than 3-4 hours can disrupt your treatment and cause your otherwise strong, healthy teeth to revert to their original positions, halting your smile transformation.

No. While wearing your custom aligners, the only thing you should consume is plain water.

Eating or drinking anything else or chewing gum with your Invisalign aligners can damage, stain, or distort them – increasing the need for a replacement aligner and disrupting the alignment process.

To keep eating all your favourite foods and brushing and flossing, simply take out the removable appliance beforehand.

Recovery time can vary depending on the severity of the misalignment and how well Invisalign patients follow their orthodontist’s instructions. Below are some aftercare tips to ensure optimal results and avoid damaging your aligners and natural teeth.

Wear Vivera™ retainers after treatment – These orthodontic devices will hold your newly aligned teeth in position, ensuring your smile lasts.

Maintain a good standard of oral hygiene – After every meal, brush your teeth before wearing your aligners to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Clean your aligners regularly – Brushing your plastic aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinsing with lukewarm water should clean them effectively – you could also use special cleansing tablets to soak your nearly invisible aligners, removing germs and bacteria.

For more aftercare tips, talk to Kai Dental today.
