    How Does Invisalign Work?

    Invisalign is a very popular, modern and effective way to a straight smile and while many know about it, patients sometimes wonder ‘How does Invisalign work?’; so here we explain just that! Did you know? We are one of the top providers of Invisalign in the UK (a Diamond II provider) and Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon (our Invisalign specialists) are officially among the top 300 specialists in the entire world!

    How Does Invisalign Work?

    Put simply, Invisalign are clear plastic trays (or aligners) that you wear on your teeth to straighten them. You change to a new tray each week – and each one is slightly different as they work to gradually straighten your teeth with every tray change (and every movement they cause). You get a full 3D scan of your teeth and mouth here at Dental on the Banks before treatment starts – and this scan is used by the Invisalign labs to custom make your trays.


    Laser cut to ensure comfort and fit at the gumline and made from Invisalign’s specially made SmartTrack material, the trays are thin, lightweight and flexible. They are clear too so you can straighten you smile discreetly in secret! Perhaps on the best features of Invisalign is how they work with any lifestyle. They are fully removable – so you can take them out any time you want! This means that all during your treatment, you can still eat and drink all of your favourite things and brush and floss your teeth as normal too!


    Treatment time can be quick with some cases complete in as little as three months! Invisalign is painless, comfortable and for many patients they even describe it as enjoyable! For all of our Invisalign patients here at Dental on the Banks, we also give you FREE teeth whitening afterwards to show off your new straight teeth in style. If you would like to pay monthly for Invisalign, we have payment plans starting from only £70 per month!

    Reduce Your Smile Corridor With Invisalgin

    The smile corridor (also known as the buccal corridor) is the black area that can be seen at the corners of your mouth. This can be more prominent in people who have a narrow upper jaw – resulting in these black corners being more noticeable and prominent when you smile. Our Invisalign specialists (Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon – officially among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the world) can help to reduce your smile corridor with their expert use of Invisalign.

    They can do this by planning your case in advance so that the clear and discreet aligners can work to not only straighten your teeth, but also to widen your jaw too. You can see the results of this with one of our patient cases above as when the patient’s Invisalign treatment has finished, there is much less of a visible smile corridor. As you may know, Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon can also use Invisalign to correct bite function and jaw misalignment – click / tap here to read more on this.


    The below case showcases just how far our Invisalign specialists can plan your case and eventual smile to perfection. This patient presented with crowded teeth, a slanted smile, aspects of a gummy smile and very visible smile corridors. As you can see with the after result, all of these aspects have been rectified and there has been a beautiful and noticeable reduction of the smile corridor. The patient was absolutely delighted with her new smile and can now smile, talk and laugh with more confidence.
