Please contact our practice to first book your free initial consultation. During your consultation, our Invisalign dentists will take the time to discuss your oral health goals and what you’d like to achieve. We will take photos of your teeth and show you your predicted results with a digital iTero scan.

After this, we can create a more bespoke video (clincheck) of how your teeth would move with Invisalign, showing you your future smile.

After your consultation, we will contact you once your custom Invisalign aligners have been created. Your aligners will need to be worn for 22 hours a day. Each clear aligner must be worn for between 1-2 weeks before moving onto the next set. The length of your treatment will depend on your exact needs.

At the end of your treatment, show off your transformed smile

When you visit our Watford practice, our experienced dentists will take the time to discuss your options with you.

Instead of Invisalign, you may be recommended traditional metal fixed braces or white fixed braces that can be fit onto the outside or behind your teeth.

Unfortunately, not everyone is suitable and it depends on what needs to be achieved.

Each patient, irrespective of age, is assessed individually to ensure we are able to achieve the results. During the assessment, some of the criteria we look at are:

Initial position of teeth. Some goals are unachievable with any brace system and with our bespoke video we can see whether Invisalign would be suitable for you.

Gum and teeth health. Before treatment can begin, the patient must have very good cleaning habits to ensure there is no sign of gum or teeth disease, as this can increase the risk of failure. They must also be able to ensure they can keep their mouth clean after the treatment is complete to ensure long-term success.

A digital scan is taken to plan the movement of your teeth digitally, showing you the proposed final results of your Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign is a custom-made set of clear, almost invisible braces made using the latest 3D printing technology. You wear them for a minimum of 22 hours of the day and easily remove them for meals, brushing and social occasions.

TInvisalign aligners are custom-made using the latest 3D printing technology. They are changed every 2 weeks as they incrementally move your teeth into the ideal position.

Straightening time is dependent on the initial position of your teeth. Every patient and every tooth is different. We, at Watford Smiles, will do our best to get the tooth safely into the correct position. On average this can take approximately 12 months.

Once the Invisalign has been fitted, we advise 6-8 weekly short appointments to ensure the health of your teeth and that they are able to move.

We advise you to remove the brace when eating or drinking anything other than water. You can eat freely in comparison to traditional braces. We recommend regular cleaning of your teeth after meals.

Once complete, we give FREE Vivera removable retainers that are worn to stabilise your teeth and to keep your teeth straight. This is usually worn every night. We give you THREE SETS FOR FREE.

Additionally, you can wear a fixed retainer (a wire that sits behind your teeth) at £150 per arch. It is still advised to wear a removable retainer as this keeps all your teeth in position.

Please attend our Watford dental clinic for regular check-ups and hygiene appointments. Our dentists will be able to detect any issues before they arise and monitor your oral health before, during and after your Invisalign treatment.
