What are Invisalign clear aligners made of and what do they look like?

Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack created exclusively for Invisalign treatment.

How will Invisalign treatment straighten my teeth?

Your Invisalign Doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Invisalign Doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible — people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions. There are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth or break.

Unlike other brands, Invisalign clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which is more comfortable and provides a better fit.1 Invisalign aligners are also trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance. As the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, we have successfully improved over 8 million smiles, including 1.4 million teen smiles.

Am I guaranteed to have straight teeth with Invisalign treatment?

Every smile is unique, which is why your Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation. During your consultation, your Invisalign Doctor will help you determine what Invisalign treatment could do for your smile. We cannot guarantee a particular treatment outcome, but encourage you to share your treatment goals with your Invisalign Doctor at your consultation.

Can I go to any dentist or orthodontist for Invisalign treatment?

Many orthodontists and dentists are Invisalign-trained Doctors, but not all are. Orthodontists and dentists who want to offer Invisalign treatment must complete specialised training. Our Smile Concierge Team can help you find an Invisalign-trained Doctor near you or you can use our online locator.

What should I bring to my consultation with my doctor?

Bring your questions (we’ve got a list to get you started here). You should also bring any information you might have about your dental history.

What should I expect during my consultation?

During your consultation, your Invisalign Doctor will discuss your teeth-straightening goals with you and examine your smile in order to determine your specific needs. Your Invisalign Doctor may also talk to you about how quickly you could reach your new smile, as well as your individual treatment cost. *treatment cost can placed/linked on the Practice’s page*

Your Invisalign Doctor will most likely recommend scheduling a dental check-up and cleaning before you begin Invisalign treatment, to make sure your teeth and gums are in top health and to avoid unnecessary risks.

How long will treatment take?

The length of treatment depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. Your Invisalign Doctor will determine exactly how long your treatment could take based on your specific needs. On average, Invisalign treatment time is 12 to 18 months2, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

How often will I change my Invisalign aligners?

Your Invisalign Doctor will tell you how often you should change to new Invisalign aligners (this can vary based on your individual treatment plan). Many Invisalign Doctors recommend changing Invisalign clear aligners weekly or every other week.

How often will I have appointments with my Invisalign Doctor?

Your Invisalign Doctor will schedule regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits is to ensure your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.

My Invisalign Doctor mentioned “attachments”. What are they and why would I need them for my Invisalign treatment?

Your Invisalign treatment may require SmartForce attachments, small tooth-coloured shapes that are attached to your teeth.

These shapes serve as handles, giving the aligners something to gently push on in order to move your teeth with the right amount of force, and are what make complex tooth movements possible without braces. Invisalign clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they’re barely noticeable.

While not everyone who uses Invisalign clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments, if you need them, your Invisalign Doctor will attach them to your teeth at the start of or during your treatment and remove them when they are no longer needed.

4. How much does Invisalign treatment cost and what are the payment options?

How much does Invisalign cost?

like other types of orthodontic treatment, the price of the Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your dental correction and your course of treatment.

Is Invisalign treatment more expensive than braces?

Invisalign treatment typically costs about the same as braces.

5. Why should I feel confident about Invisalign treatment?

How many people have used Invisalign clear aligners?

Over 8 million people, including more than 1.4 million teens, have used Invisalign clear aligners to transform their smiles.

How is Invisalign treatment different than other teeth-straightening options?

Invisalign treatment is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, backed by more than two decades of innovation.

Unlike braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. There are no wires and brackets, so you don’t need to change the way you brush and floss. And, you can continue to eat all your favourite foods.

And no other clear aligner is made from SmartTrack material. This advanced technology helps move your teeth more predictably3 and can help you get the smile you want up to 50% faster.4 Learn more about the Invisalign difference or view our treatment comparison chart.

How old is the company behind Invisalign clear aligners?

Align Technology, Inc., the company that makes Invisalign clear aligners, was founded in 1997.

6. What if I've had braces or other types of Dental Work?

I am currently wearing braces. Can I make the switch to Invisalign treatment?

Possibly. Invisalign Doctors are treating a significant number of patients with a combination of braces and Invisalign clear aligners — consult your Invisalign Doctor to determine the best treatment approach for your smile.

Since having my braces removed, my teeth have shifted. Can Invisalign treatment fix this?

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can treat nearly all common teeth-straightening issues, from simple to complex. Many people who formerly had braces choose Invisalign treatment as the discreet solution to improve their smile when they find that their teeth have shifted back.

I have veneers or crowns. Will Invisalign clear aligners work with them?

It depends. Talk with your Invisalign Doctor about the dental work you’ve had done, including veneers and crowns, and he or she will evaluate your individual needs.

I have bridgework on several teeth. Will Invisalign clear aligners still work?

Invisalign clear aligners are designed to move each tooth individually. Because bridgework connects two or more teeth, clear aligners may not be effective.

7. How will Invisalign treatment affect my life?

Can anyone tell that I’m wearing the aligners?

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. Others may not even notice you’re wearing them, making Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle.

Can I take my aligners off whenever I need to?

Yes, you can remove your Invisalign aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, like a wedding, job interview, or for playing your favourite sport or instrument. Just remember to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day to get the best results.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?

None! Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all (hello popcorn!). With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy, as they can damage or get stuck in your braces.

Is Invisalign treatment painful?

Invisalign treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, but some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. Typically, people describe it as feeling “pressure” and it’s normal — it’s a sign your Invisalign clear aligners are working and transforming your smile.

Please see your Invisalign Doctor if you have any concerns or experience continued discomfort.

Sometimes when I remove my aligners, my teeth feel loose. Is that common?

Yes. As your Invisalign aligners gradually shift your teeth into their proper position, your gums are re-forming around each tooth as it moves. Be sure to talk to your Invisalign Doctor about any concerns.

Will Invisalign treatment still work if I only wear my aligners while I sleep?

You need to wear your Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day to get the results you want.

Will wearing Invisalign clear aligners affect my speech?

It may take a couple of days for your tongue to get used to having your Invisalign aligners in your mouth, and you may have a slight lisp. But this should disappear quickly.

Will smoking stain my aligners?

We discourage smoking while wearing Invisalign aligners because it can stain them.

Can I chew gum while wearing aligners?

No, gum will stick to your Invisalign aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including gum.

Can the aligners slip off while I’m asleep?

It is very unlikely that your aligners would ever fall out, no matter what you are doing: sleeping, talking, laughing, etc. Invisalign clear aligners are designed to fit snugly around your teeth, so this should not be a cause for concern.

I went on a trip and forgot to take my aligners with me. Will my aligners still fit?

The answer depends on how long you’ve gone without wearing your Invisalign aligners. If it’s only been a short time, your aligners should still fit, but they might feel uncomfortable. If it’s been a longer time, talk to your Invisalign Doctor about your unique situation.

8. How do I take care of my aligners?

What’s the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water and using the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or special cleaning tablets. It’s important that you brush your teeth after each meal before re-inserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.

If I have food residue (like blueberries or pasta sauce) in my mouth when I put my aligners back in, can they become stained?

Yes. That’s why it’s important to brush after every meal, before placing your Invisalign aligners back in your mouth.

What if I lose or break an aligner. What should I do?

If you lose or break an Invisalign aligner, immediately let your Invisalign Doctor know. Your Invisalign Doctor will work with you to ensure you stay on-track with your treatment plan, which may involve wearing a previous set of aligners, your next set of aligners, or ordering replacements aligners.

Can I order replacement aligners from the Invisalign brand directly?

All aligners and retainers must be ordered through your Invisalign Doctor, as they are considered a prescription item. Please contact your Invisalign Doctor directly if you need to order a replacement.

9. What happens when I'm done with Invisalign treatment?

Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?

Most Invisalign Doctors recommend that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or Invisalign treatment, use a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position. Every case is different, so ask your Invisalign Doctor if you need retainers.

What type of retainer should I use?

While there are many different types of retainers, we recommend Vivera retainers. Vivera retainers were specifically designed for use after Invisalign treatment, and are made from a proprietary material 30% stronger than other leading clear retainer materials, which helps you to keep your new smile.

Your Vivera retainers will be virtually invisible, and custom-made from an impression or scan of your teeth, using the same start-of-the-art technology used for Invisalign clear aligners.

How much do Vivera retainers cost?

Contact your Invisalign Doctor for more information on Vivera retainers, as pricing can be based on your individual needs. All Vivera retainer orders will include an extra set, in case you lose one.

How do I order Vivera retainers?

You can order Vivera retainers through your Invisalign Doctor.

How long will I have to wear my Vivera retainers?

Your Invisalign Doctor will give you specific instructions on how often you need to wear your retainers. Typically, you wear your first set full time, then based on your Invisalign Doctor’s recommendation, you may gradually reduce how much you wear them until you only wear them at night.

Lost your Vivera retainer? No problem.

If you lose or break your last set of Vivera retainers, or simply run out, just get in touch with your Invisalign Doctor. They can work with you on purchasing a new set of Vivera retainers, so you can keep showing off that smile!

Honestly can not recommend this dental practice enough. The most gentle dentists, so helpful and always put you the patient first.Also worth noting they do aesthetics too and are equally wonderful at this too. Can not recommend this practice enough.

Brilliant service, cannot recommend highly enough. Maya did my root canal, she made me feel calm, was very thorough and the process was done quickly.Kelly at reception was fantastic, so welcoming and informative. I queried about whitening, and gave me all the information I needed aswel as arranging for me to meet the dentist on the day.

Nataliya Teoniv

17:13 29 Oct 24

My first time at this dental practice. Came in for a root canal treatment. The doctor was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Gave me a lot of options to choose from, and performed a tooth extraction there and then. Painlessly, effortlessly and efficiently. I’ll definitely consider this practice for my future treatments and implantation.

Tanya

14:26 23 Oct 24

I wouldn't normally say that going to the dentist was a nice, warm and comfortable experience but since being with Dentaliving it has been that. The kind and warm atmosphere you get from reception before you even get to the dentist chair is so lovely and reassuring. I had Icon White Spot treatment and Composite Bonding with Dr Krishni and I am so happy with my teeth, she listened to what I wanted and you couldn't tell I’ve had anything added as they look so natural. Thank you for my lovely smile Dr Krishni, I’ll be showing it off more often.

Excellent service from start to finish I was referred by my dentist, which I won’t mention as the service/treatment isn’t as good. Soon as I called dental living Kelly was so professional and helpful and kept me informed. Even messaged kept in touch. I was offered a cancellation appointment. And when I went in for my appointment the dentist explained everything clearly, my tooth was extracted was not as bad as I thought it would have been it was quick. Did also mention few other things that my dentist should have picked up and treatment. Thank you

Having been referred by my usual dentist for specialist work it was a pleasure to attend Dentaliving. From the initial call from the receptionist, through to the dentist and her assistant, the way I was treated was superb. A long procedure by a gentle and understanding team makes all the difference to reassure patients and aid a successful outcome. Well done Team Dentaliving .

I had such a positive experience at Dentaliving that I have already recommended this place to others! I went on 03/10/24 for a root canal and was treated by a dentist called Maya. She was professional and despite my being late, still made time to talk me through the procedure and answer my questions. I was comfortable throughout the procedure and have not been in any pain since. Would thoroughly recommend!

Despite having a tooth removed, this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. The entire procedure was explained to me beforehand, and each step was carefully communicated as it was happening.Thank you, Sonal, for your exceptional care—you’re truly the best dentist I’ve ever had!

I was referred for a root canal treatment procedure and he was a fantastic dentist. I was happy that he took the time to explain what was needed after reviewing my case and communicated to me during the procedure before each step, and it felt like he is passionate about his work and genuinely cares for his patients' oral health, which was a pleasant experience for me.The Assistant was also really lovely and polite, as were the reception ladies, who were professional yet friendly I only know one other dentist that has lovely staff who are actually friendly. The whole place was so clean and comfortable. My procedure was pain free and was surprised when it was finished. The dentist explained my after care well. Very very nice practice.Thank you for an excellent visit to the dentist. Highly recommended.

Jill Carpenter

14:27 03 Sep 24

I had been referred to Dentaliving via the NHS. The whole experience was excellent from the welcoming receptionist to the professionalism of the dentist. So much so that I asked whether (although 40 miles from where I live) I could transfer to them from my current dentist!! Unfortunately I couldn’t transfer my NHS contract but in the future I will get them to quote for private work.

I was referred to Dentaliving for the dreaded root canal treatment. From the booking date communication was excellent,if I was promised an update an update I got, all promised call backs materialised. The actual procedure was painless and carried out in a most professional and proficient manner, and the cherry on the top is that I was administered just the right amount of anaesthetic so I didn’t have to dribble for the remainder of the day!A big thank you and I would definitely recommend.

I was referred to DENTALIVING by my NHS dentist to have two root canal treatments that had been badly conducted by a previous dentist many years ago. Dr. Katan Haria immediately put me at ease and provided an excellent service. I would highly recommend this dentist. As an anxious patient I felt like I was in really good hands and he was able to successfully complete my treatment. A brilliant practice. Lovely staff on reception, too. Thank you, Dr. Haria and the team.

Anely Cabezas

This is a dental surgery that really cares about its patients. I contacted Dr Wasim, really late at night, as I was in so much pain and he took the time (out of hours) to reply to my concerns. Their Oral Surgeon, Dr Imran, is such a lovely man who made me feel at ease. Dr Shandy, in particular, is an extraordinary dentist. Her kindness and dedication to her patients is truly commendable. She goes above and beyond in her care and compassion. Thank you Shandy.Stacey Boulton

Had the best experience ever. I was referred to Dentaliving and was able to get a very last minute root canal before my holiday and I'm so grateful Dr Wasim was able to see me because I'd been in severe pain for 4 days! Everyone had scared me about root canals so I went in very nervous. However, I had nothing to worry about. Everything was explained to me and I was made as comfortable as possible. Post op I had absolutely no pain, not even jaw ache, couldn't believe it. Would highly recommend Dentaliving. A big thank you again.

I was referred here for second root canal treatment and I’m so glad I was. Maya was so lovely and kind, explained each step and made sure I was ok throughout… I really felt confident that I was in good hands (something I haven’t been able to say for a long time!) I only wish she was my usual dentist but unfortunately for us she only concentrates on root canals now.All of the reception staff are friendly and accommodating. I was so impressed I have booked my Mum in for a check up and will definitely be transferring over once all of my treatment at my current dentist is finished.

Been a patient here for 19 years and the staff are lovely and welcoming and always very helpful never encountered any problems. Myself and my daughters see Dr Shandy and she is amazing, very helpful, knows her job really well, gives you the best advise and she’s the best dentist I could ask for and very professional always making sure she does what’s best for me and my kids. Dr shandy is a great asset to Dental living and I wouldn’t change her for any other dentist. Thanks so much for all your help.

Had a dental emergency following a dental procedure a few days ago. I was given an emergency appointment soon after calling and the issue was diagnosed/treated very promptly. Have been with this practice for many years and have always been extremely pleased with the level of care provided, exemplified by the treatment I received today.

I've only been going to Dentaliving for a few months now. Dr Shandy Vijayan has been fixing my broken teeth and taking great care of me. She's been absolutely great with me as I am a bit of a nervous patient. This is a great surgery and all the staff I've meet so far have been very friendly. So pleased I found them.

Amazing! I was very nervous but was put at ease immediately. Totally painless treatment and was given lots of information re future treatment. Wish this was my permanent dentist! Very happy with my appointment there.

I first visited Dentaliving during the pandemic as I fell and broke my front teeth just before my wedding! The team was so lovely and helpful with fitting me in for a last minute emergency appointment with Dr Abid. I can honestly say he is the kindest and most patient dentist I have ever met! He talked me through my options and the composite bonding process (which I settled on having done). The bonding looks so natural and was completely painless. I’ve had so many compliments on my teeth since having them done, I was so self conscious of my smile even before I broke my teeth but I’m now smiling all the time! I’ve been back 6 times since for checks ups and more bonding on other teeth and always had the most excellent service. The entire team at Dentaliving is so skilled and lovely, 5* star service always!

As part of my dental living plan, l had my routine visit to the hygenist today, my teeth are now lovely and clean, also plaque free. As always a very professional experience with the work carried to a high standard. The dental surgery staff always put the customers needs first, making a friendly and welcoming place to visit.

After having braces for 8 years due to bite correction and jaw surgery, all you look forward to is the final smile. Dr Shandy gave me a deep clean and a polish to really bring my confidence back and tie all the work in together. Can't wait for my next check up!

Always amazing service when I come here, from the receptionist to my dentist.Dr Shandy knew exactly what was wrong with my wisdom tooth. I had and X-Ray and deep clean and next appointment booked seemlessly.

I had teeth whitening and bonding with Dr Shandy Vijayan, the process went smoothly, she is highly professional, and very educational. I'm extremely pleased with my results and I will continue getting my future treatments done with her. Thank you

I attended Dental Living for the 1st time back in February for an emergency appointment. I was extremely anxious at the time of attending and was really taken care of by Dr Sonal and dental nurse Kelly. So much so that I decided to join the practice as a private patient and went on to have several other treatments. If it wasn't for Sonal & Kelly's insight and compassionate approach, I would have never got the treatment I needed done. It has been almost two weeks and I have had no issues with the treatment whatsoever.I will be going back in the next few weeks to have my whitening treatment and will now begin to book six month reviews with this dentist - a new thing for me! Thank you both so much for your patient and kind approach.The reception staff are also very welcoming and friendly.

I went to Dentaliving as I wasn’t extremely happy with my smile. Dr Sonal Chauhan has been simply the best! She followed me step by step during the invisalign process and now I’m super confident with my smile. Definitely highly recommended!

Carol at the front desk was super helpful when i called and asked for advice. She straight away booked me in to see a dentist the same morning and the whole experience was seamless and stress free. My dentist was reassuring and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you to everyone at Dental Living.

Best experience I've ever had with a dentist, the gentleman that helped me was supposed to do a root canal to save a tooth that has been bothering me for the last decade due to poor dentistry and he took the time to explain how the first root canal should be done and showed my X-ray compared to a root canal done properly so I was able to come to the informed decision to remove my tooth and he did it pain free, I've had no swelling or pain so I would go back to him if he wasn't specialising now. Experienced, friendly and informative.

Painless, caring and great outcome.I would highly recommend this practice for anyone considering implants and especially Dr Fazel.I know they offer a variety of other care and I will be registering myself and my children to be seen by their team

Needed an emergency appointment and managed to get one within the day with Robina Jan. Lovely ladies at reception and Robina was so professional and re-assuring. She gave me enough options and knowledge for me to make an informed decision about my treatment and an after care follow up call was the cherry on top. Thank you so much for your amazing service!
