Our team will check that the aligners fit comfortably and guide you on how to wear and remove them. Detailed instructions will be provided on wearing the aligners for 20–22 hours a day and caring for them properly.
In some cases, small tooth-coloured attachments may be added to your teeth to help guide the aligners more effectively. This step is essential for beginning your Invisalign journey with confidence and clarity.
As part of the Invisalign treatment process, you’ll wear a series of aligners that gradually move your teeth into place.

Our highly-experienced Principal Dentist, Dr Gina Vega (GDC No: 83137), has been treating patients for 25 years. She is a certified Invisalign® Diamond Practitioner having personally treated over 1,000 Invisalign patients.
Gina has achieved Diamond status by treating between 175-200 Invisalign patients within the last 12 months, and she quotes this advice about Invisalign:
“When I took over Bishopsgate Dental Care, I had a clear vision of what kind of dentistry I wanted to provide my patients. I believe in prevention, and I try to be as conservative as possible. This is the reason I believe so strongly about Invisalign. With Invisalign you are using what you have, your own teeth but in a better, more beautiful position!
Invisalign is for everybody — from teenagers to young professionals trying to get ahead in their career, to people in their 50s and older.”

The Invisalign process is a carefully designed, step-by-step journey towards achieving your perfect smile. This innovative orthodontic treatment uses advanced technology and personalised care to straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly.
From your initial consultation to the final reveal of your new smile, each phase is tailored to your unique needs. Understanding these steps can help you feel more confident and prepared as you embark on your Invisalign treatment.
The Invisalign process typically involves these key steps:
To find out whether Invisalign braces are right for you, be sure to call our clinic on 020 7377 6762.
The three main stages of Invisalign treatment are:
This initial phase involves a comprehensive consultation with your Invisalign-certified dentist. During this visit, your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
They’ll take detailed 3D scans of your teeth using advanced imaging technology, eliminating the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions. These scans, along with photographs and X-rays, are used to create a customised digital treatment plan.
This plan maps out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the entire treatment process, allowing you to visualise your future smile before treatment even begins.
This is the core of your Invisalign treatment. Based on your custom treatment plan, a series of clear, removable aligners are created specifically for you.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, typically for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you progress through the series, each aligner will gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions.
You’ll have regular check-ups with your dentist every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners. The length of this stage varies depending on your individual case, but it typically lasts between 6 to 18 months.
After your teeth have moved into their new, aligned positions, it’s crucial to maintain these results.
This final stage involves wearing retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Initially, you may need to wear your retainers full-time, except when eating or cleaning your teeth.
Over time, your dentist may reduce this to nighttime wear only. The retention stage is ongoing, as it’s important to wear your retainers as directed to preserve your new smile.
Your dentist will also schedule periodic follow-up appointments to ensure your teeth remain in their new positions and your smile stays beautiful.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on individual cases. On average, treatment takes about 12 to 18 months. Simple cases may be completed in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases can take up to 24 months. Your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.
Several factors influence the length of your Invisalign treatment:
It’s important to note that Invisalign often works faster than traditional braces for many patients. Remember, while everyone wants a quick solution, the focus should be on achieving the best possible outcome for your long-term oral health and smile aesthetics.
With Invisalign, teeth typically move about 0.1 mm per aligner. Patients usually change aligners every 1-2 weeks, resulting in gradual but steady movement.
Visible progress can often be seen within a few months of starting treatment. However, the speed of movement can vary based on factors such as age, compliance with wearing aligners, and the case’s complexity.To find out more about the Invisalign process, or to get a personalised quote for Invisalign in London, get in touch with our expert team.
