Invisalign brace FAQs

• How discreet are Invisalign aligners?

  While Invisalign aligners aren’t invisible they’re very inconspicuous. In most cases you’ll be able to have conversations with friends and family without them even realising that you’re wearing your aligners.

• Will Invisalign affect my speech?

  You may have a slight lisp at first, but you’ll quickly get used to your aligners and should be talking clearly and confidently within a few days.

• Are Invisalign aligners comfortable?

  Invisalign aligners have been designed with your comfort in mind using ‘transparent polycrystalline alumina’ – a clear, smooth material that incidentally was designed by NASA. Invisalign also has the benefit of having no metal wires or brackets, which can sometimes cause discomfort at the beginning of treatment.

• How often do I need to wear my aligners?

  You need to wear your aligners for around 20 to 22 hours a day, but you can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing and contact sports.

• What are Invisalign attachments?

  Invisalign attachments are small tooth-coloured buttons. In some cases we attach them to your teeth to help us move them in a particular direction.

• How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

  Invisalign treatment at The Wimbledon Dentist starts from £3,995, don’t forget to keep an eye out for special offers.

• Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?

  No brace is suitable for everyone, but you’ll be pleased to hear that Invisalign can be used to straighten the majority of mild to moderate cases. You can find out if Invisalign is right for you during a free no-obligation consultation.

• What should I do if I lose an Invisalign aligner?

  If you misplace one of your aligners, get in touch with us as soon as you can. In the meantime you can wear an aligner from your previous set to stop your teeth moving too far out of line. In some cases we might suggest that you move straight to your next set of aligners.

• What is Invisalign made from?

  Invisalign aligners are made out of transparent polycrystalline alumina (TPA), which was originally developed by NASA for missile tracking! Its smooth and transparent properties make this material an excellent choice for ‘invisible’ braces.

• Will I need to wear retainers following my treatment?

  Yes, once you’ve completed your treatment you’ll be given fixed and/or removable retainers. These will make sure your teeth stay in their new position.
