What you need to know about Invisalign treatment
How does it work?
Invisalign is a treatment that uses comfortable and flexible aligners made to fit each individual patient exactly, ensuring maximum comfort and results.
Every week or so, you will have to change your aligner to further tweak your teeth. Further instructions will be given on this during your consultation for Invisalign at Harley Street.
This gradual and gentle pressure creates your dream, straight smile, in as little as 6 months!
Who does it benefit?
Invisalign works best for those with mild misalignment in their teeth.
While it’s most often used to straighten the overall appearance of the teeth, it can also improve conditions like:
Overbite
When the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, it can cause pain in the jaw and the rest of the mouth.
An overbite of 5-25% is ideal for Invisalign treatment.
Underbite
The opposite of an overbite, this is when the lower teeth are in front of your upper ones, making it hard to talk and chew.
Crossbite
A crossbite can cause the teeth to chip and wear down over time. It looks like a combination of an over and underbite.
Openbite
If your teeth don’t touch when your mouth is closed, it can be difficult to chew.
Gaps
Invisalign is great for closing the space between your teeth to prevent sore gums and pockets where food can get stuck.
Overcrowded teeth
Having teeth that overlap due to not having enough room in the jaw can make general oral hygiene difficult to maintain.
Life with Invisalign
Clear aligners are practically invisible, so you don’t have to worry about chunky metal hiding your smile like traditional braces.
The removable brace must be taken out to eat and drink anything other than still water, but as long as they’re worn for a minimum of 22 hours each day, you will benefit from long-lasting results.
To maintain a clear look and smooth feel, your oral hygiene routine shouldn’t be forgotten about.
Keeping your teeth and aligners as clean as possible during your treatment, ensures effective results, and maintains the invisible appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely!
Invisalign is used to effectively treat a range of smile issues and whilst treatment can just be carried out on top or bottom teeth, it’s actually more common to wear aligners on both – ensuring teeth match up perfectly and all minor imperfections are remedied.
If you’re not sure whether you need treatment for both your top and bottom teeth – get in touch for expert advice. Our Invisalign Harley Street ORC dentists will listen carefully to your smile concerns, assess your current smile, and offer a customised treatment plan to help you achieve optimum results.

When you come for Invisalign at Harley Street ORC, you expect lasting results – and you’ll get them!
Invisalign is designed to be a permanent solution, however, it’s important to understand that, without continued care, teeth can move naturally over time – so, there is potential that teeth may start to shift from their desired positioning.
This is a risk whether you’ve opted for Invisalign or traditional braces and is why most dentists will recommend wearing a retainer once treatment is complete.
How frequently you need to wear your retainer will be discussed with your dentist but usually, nighttime wear is more than enough to preserve a perfect smile.
First things first – don’t panic.
Instead, get in touch with the team for Invisalign at Harley Street Oral Reconstruction Centre as soon as possible. You can call us on 020 7486 4442.
We’ll discuss with you the best plan of action – which could be to wear the previous set of aligners, move on to the next set or, in some instances, to order a replacement.
To help avoid mishaps with your aligners, remember to always remove them before eating, not to chew gum whilst wearing them, and to be sure to always store aligners in the protective case provided when not in use.
We understand you’re impatient for a beautiful smile, so you’ll be pleased to hear that you can usually start to see positive changes within just a few weeks of Invisalign treatment – and for some people, the entire process can take as little as 6 months!
The key thing to remember here is that every smile is different. The average treatment length is around 12-18 months but exactly how long treatment takes will depend on the complexities of your smile, the results you’re hoping to achieve, and how often you wear your aligners.
During your initial consultation for Invisalign at Harley Street Oral Reconstruction Centre, our dentist will discuss a customised treatment plan and offer you an indication of timescales – so you’re clear on how long you’ll have to wait for that picture-perfect smile.
