    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!

    Step 1 – Invisalign (Teeth Straightening)
    If you have any misalignment or ‘crooked’ teeth etc., we start with orthodontic treatment (i.e. braces) to straighten your smile. As Invisalign specialists (Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon are officially recognised as among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the entire world); we create custom Invisalign plans to help our patients to discreetly straighten their smiles with the clear Invisalign aligners. While Invisalign is our most popular orthodontic treatment, we also offer more traditional orthodontic options such as fixed metal and clear braces.

    Step 2 – Teeth Whitening
    After your teeth have been straightened, teeth whitening is the next step to bring your teeth to a brighter, lighter and whiter colour. Teeth whitening at Dental on the Banks takes only two weeks to complete (you wear custom made teeth trays with the whitening gels at night time) and the results can be maintained for life! The reason teeth whitening is usually completed after teeth straightening is to make sure every side and aspect of your teeth are whitened after they have been straightened into the correct position.

    Step 3 – Composite Bonding
    The final finishing touch then is called composite bonding (also known as composite veneers or cosmetic bonding). This is an optional step and can be used if your teeth have uneven surfaces or edges (such as jagged edges) or are not uniform in size. This aesthetic treatment works by applying layers of white composite material (the same material used in fillings) to your natural teeth – meaning that there is no anaesthetic or drilling involved. This step is usually completed last so that the composite material can be made to match the shade of your teeth after they have been whitened in Step 2.
