FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
We've compiled a list of common questions about this treatment. If you have any other queries, please get in touch.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual's case, but on average, it takes between 12 to 18 months. However, you'll start to notice a difference in just a few weeks.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign aligners are designed to minimise discomfort. While you may experience some pressure and minor discomfort when you start wearing a new set of aligners, this is typically temporary and a good sign that the treatment is working.

Yes. To help spread the cost, the practice offers 0% finance over 12 months, allowing you to break down the exact amount of your treatment plan into fixed, interest-free monthly payments.
Am I suitable for Invisalign?
Invisalign effectively treats most common alignment issues, including crowding, gaps, overbites, and underbites. Suitability is confirmed via a 3D digital scan during an initial assessment to evaluate your specific bite and jaw structure.

What is a Platinum Elite Invisalign provider?
It is a top-tier status awarded by Align Technology to dentists who manage a very high volume of clear aligner cases. A Platinum Elite provider typically treats between 80 to 100+ patients a year, indicating advanced clinical experience with the system.
How is Invisalign different from braces?
Traditional braces use fixed metal brackets and wires that require regular tightening. Invisalign uses a series of smooth, clear, medical-grade plastic trays that are nearly invisible and completely removable.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners in?
No. You must remove the aligners whenever you eat food or drink anything other than plain, cold water. This prevents the trays from warping due to heat, staining from dark liquids, or trapping sugar against your teeth.
How often do I need to visit the practice during treatment?
Because you change your aligners at home every 1 to 2 weeks, routine check-ins at the practice are minimal—typically just once every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor your progress and collect your next batches of trays.
Do I need to wear retainers after Invisalign?
Yes. Teeth have a natural memory and will drift back to their old positions without support. You must wear a retainer (usually just at night) after completing your treatment to permanently protect your investment.
