Invisalign®

Straightening your teeth can make a big difference to your smile, but you don’t necessarily want everyone to know you’re doing it.

Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into better positions. Each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move your teeth towards their planned positions. They’re discreet enough to fit into everyday life and removable when you eat, drink and brush your teeth. At Drayton House, we’ll plan your treatment around your teeth, your bite and the result you’d like to achieve, so you have a clear idea of what’s possible before you begin.

Planning your new smile

Good Invisalign® treatment isn’t simply about making teeth look straighter. How your teeth fit together matters too. We’ll assess your smile as a whole before planning how each tooth needs to move. Digital technology allows us to plan your treatment in detail and gives you a much clearer idea of the changes we’re working towards.

Once you’re happy with the plan, your custom aligners can be made. You’ll wear each set for the recommended amount of time before moving on to the next, with appointments at Drayton House along the way so we can check your progress.

What happens after Invisalign®?

Reaching the end of your aligners doesn’t necessarily mean your smile is finished. Once your teeth are in their new positions, we’ll discuss retainers to help keep them there. Teeth naturally have a tendency to move over time, so retention is an important part of protecting the result you’ve worked for. Some patients may also decide they’d like to make finishing touches to their smile after straightening, such as professional teeth whitening. We’ll talk through any suitable options once your Invisalign® treatment is complete.

Why choose Drayton House for Invisalign®?

Invisalign® gives us the technology to move teeth, but getting a result you’re happy with still comes down to how your treatment is assessed, planned and monitored. We’ll spend time understanding what you actually want to change about your smile rather than assuming perfectly straight teeth are everyone’s goal. You’ll be able to talk through the result you have in mind, see how we plan to get there and ask questions before committing to treatment.

Your Invisalign® journey will be overseen by a dental professional who understands not just how you’d like your smile to look, but your teeth, gums and bite as a whole. We’ll keep an eye on your progress throughout treatment and make adjustments to the plan where they’re needed. We want you to feel comfortable with the people looking after you as well as confident in the plan we’ve created together.

What can Invisalign^® fix?

Crowded teeth

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.

Gaps between teeth

Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.

Open bite

An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.

Underbite

An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.

Overbite

An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.

Crossbite

A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.

Frequently asked questions

1. How does Invisalign® work?

Invisalign® uses a sequence of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move your teeth. You’ll change to a new set of aligners at regular intervals as your teeth progress towards their planned positions.

2. How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

Treatment time depends on how much your teeth need to move and the complexity of your case. We’ll give you a clearer indication of your expected treatment time once we’ve assessed your teeth and created your treatment plan.

3. How many hours a day do I need to wear my Invisalign® aligners?

Invisalign® aligners need to be worn for most of the day and night to move your teeth predictably. You’ll remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth. We’ll give you clear instructions on wear time when your treatment begins.

4. Can I eat normally with Invisalign®?

Yes. Because the aligners are removable, you take them out before eating and can continue enjoying your usual foods. You’ll need to clean your teeth before putting the aligners back in.

5. Is Invisalign® painful?

You may notice some pressure or tenderness when you begin wearing a new aligner. This is usually mild and is a sign that the aligners are moving your teeth.

6. Will I need retainers after Invisalign®?

Yes. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions once active treatment has finished. We’ll explain your retention plan towards the end of your Invisalign® treatment.

7. Can I whiten my teeth after Invisalign®?

Yes, professional teeth whitening can be a great finishing touch once your teeth have been straightened. If it’s something you’re interested in, we can discuss the most appropriate time to whiten your smile.

An overwhelming positive experience of something that has terrified me since childhood. Kush and his exception team took into account my nervousness with dentists and from the very start of my procedures made me feel very comforted and relaxed. They explained every step, talked me through the details and accompanied my procedures with assurances and comfort. Im extremely happy with the work that was carried out and would highly recommended Drayton House for dentistry work. Thanks to the receptionists, kush and his assistants my faith in dentistry has been restored.....and so has my smile. Great work and thank you for everything.

I had an extraction of a molar (after a filling that was done a few weeks prior and it didn't work as the sensitivity was still there). The dentist tried her best to retain the tooth but eventually extraction was the better option. Am quite happy with the whole process and they way post care was explained. Was comfortable too, despite having dental anxiety. Very clean dentistry with ample parking. Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Finally found a dentist I can trust!I cannot recommend this practice enough, especially if you struggle with dental anxiety.As someone who has had some truly awful experiences in the past, I was incredibly nervous about visiting a dentist again. However, from the moment I walked in, those fears started to melt away.Why this practice is different:A Warm Welcome: I was greeted by Julia, who is absolutely lovely. She was so patient and took the time to help with every single question I had, which really helped settle my nerves before I even sat in the chair.The Expert Care of Dr. Mistry: During my initial visit with Dr. Mistry, I can honestly say my anxiety was "put to bed," so to speak. He explained exactly what he was doing every step of the way and provided amazing guidance.Pain-Free Experience: I actually had a major "tooth wobble" that needed to be addressed. Dr. Mistry helped take it out—and it was completely pain-free. I felt supported and guided through the entire process.Even though I know I have to go back for follow-up work, I’m not dreading it like I used to. If you’ve been avoided the dentist out of fear like I have, please fear not—this team is top-notch.Thank you to the whole team for being so supportive!
