Dr Darren Stone explains the patient Journey with Invisalign...

and the most frequently asked questions

Free Consultations

It is vital to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign, during which we will discuss a patient's aspiration for their smile and work together to come up with a plan that works, to deliver the smile you want to see.

How long will it take?

I believe that there is no one-size fits all patients answer to this, which is why at White Friars House Dental we will offer a free consultation to anyone thinking about Invisalign, some cases can be completed in three months some need longer; up to 24 months, but my experience in this process means that you will be in safe hands.

How does Invisalign work?

After a set of impressions are taken, a virtual 3D treatment plan is generated, creating a series of changes in the position of each tooth in the smile to its desired position; this allows us to see how each tooth moves a little at a time, week by week, allowing us to see the smile will look from all angles so you are completely in the driving seat before you decide to go ahead.

Once a patient is completely happy, the virtual 3D treatment plan is transferred into a series of clear, nearly invisible aligners - which over the course of treatment are reviewed to ensure that we are reaching the goals we set out in the original virtual 3D treatment plan.

After your initial consultation, Clincheck and fitting, most patients return every 6-8 weeks during the treatment plan to be fitted with the next stage of the aligners, keeping you on target to your perfect smile.

How much does Invisalign cost?

There is no such thing as an average patient and as such, no average cost, we are a Platinum Invisalign Provider at White Friars House Dental; and as such we pass on the great savings this status brings to our patients. Cases of Invisalign can be as little as £1490, this cost would be inclusive of all aligners and a consultation; so the price you agree to at the start of the treatment is complete, with no hidden extras.

Does it hurt?

Invisalign are almost invisible clear aligners, which don't use metal wires or irritating brackets; so you can get on with your day to day life without any discomfort and because they are completely removable you can take them out for short breaks while you eat and drink.
