Social media channels are flooded with images of that perfectly straight and gleaming smile, but what if it doesn’t come naturally?
Many adults long for straighter teeth but are put off by the metal work associated with traditional braces. Thankfully, there is another solution. You can now straighten your teeth with clear braces which appear practically invisible to everyone else. Almost half a million patients worldwide have trusted Invisalign® to get the smile they desire, and you can too.
Invisalign® braces are made up of a series of clear removable aligners which sit over the top of your teeth and gently move them into a better position to create a straighter and healthier smile. Each set of aligners are made from comfortable SmartTrack material and are expertly trimmed to fit your gum line so that they appear almost invisible to the untrained eye.
As Invisalign® aligners are easy to remove, you simply take them out for contact sports, eating and brushing your teeth so that they do not adversely affect your lifestyle.
HOW INVISALIGN
BRACES WORK
After your initial consultation, 3D images will be taken of your teeth using a high-tech machine called an i-Tero scanner. The images show how your teeth look now, and how they will look whilst wearing Invisalign braces, all the way through to the end of your treatment. Patients from Woking, Chertsey, Cobham, Guildford and Surrey love this part of the treatment because it shows upfront how your new smile will look after you’ve finished wearing Invisalign braces.
The images from the i-Tero scanner help with the preparation of your custom-made aligners which usually take about two weeks to construct.
At your next appointment, your dentist will fit the first set of Invisalign aligners. Depending on the severity of your case and the type of treatment required, you will have several attachments fitted to your teeth which gives the Invisalign aligners something to grip on to. Attachments are small pieces of tooth coloured composite material that are gently applied to your teeth. They are practically invisible and do not hurt at all.
Your dentist will then provide you with several clear aligners which you will need to remember to change on a weekly basis.
So that your teeth are straightened effectively, you need to wear your Invisalign clear braces for a minimum of 22 hours a day. We therefore recommend that you only remove your aligners to eat, drink and to brush your teeth.

FAQs
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on each patient’s needs. Minor teeth straightening can take approximately 3 to 6 months, while more complex cases may require up to 18 months. On average, most patients complete their Invisalign treatment within 12 months. A personalised assessment is necessary to determine your exact timeline.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
To keep your Invisalign aligners clean and in good condition, gently brush them with a toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than cold water to prevent staining or damage.
What happens if I don’t wear my Invisalign aligners for 22 hours a day?
Wearing your Invisalign aligners for the recommended 22 hours per day is essential for effective treatment. Skipping or reducing wear can delay your progress, as your teeth may not move into the correct position on schedule, preventing you from advancing to the next aligner.
Why do I need to remove my Invisalign aligners to eat and drink?
You should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with them in can damage or stain the aligners, as they are made from thin, flexible plastic. Removing them protects your aligners and helps maintain a clean, comfortable, and effective treatment experience.
What should I do if I damage or lose my Invisalign aligners?
If you damage or lose your Invisalign aligners, contact our Woking dental practice immediately. We will advise whether you should move on to the next set or continue wearing your previous aligners. To avoid interruptions, always keep your current aligners until your treatment is complete.
