Virtually invisible teeth straightening with Invisalign in Liverpool
Increasingly popular with adults and teenagers, Invisalign offers a discreet, minimally invasive, and highly effective way to change the appearance of your smile. It allows you to achieve your dream straighter smile in comfort, without any metal brackets or wires digging in and irritating your skin.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces with brackets and wires, Invisalign utilises custom-made aligners crafted from a smooth, comfortable plastic material.
These aligners are designed to gently shift teeth into their desired positions over time. By switching to a new set of aligners every two weeks, you can gradually achieve a straighter, more confident smile.
Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces, making it a popular choice for individuals of all ages seeking orthodontic treatment.
Why choose Invisalign?
Invisalign is extremely easy to use, all you need to do is wear each aligner for the recommended 20-22 hours each day and let the gradual and gentle forces get to work. Invisalign blends perfectly into your everyday life and requires no changes to your diet or lifestyle as the aligners can be removed for eating, drinking and brushing your teeth.
Invisalign’s innovative clear aligners are virtually invisible in the mouth when worn, giving a confidence boost even during treatment. No one needs to know you are on a journey to beautifully straight teeth until they notice you smiling much more once your treatment is complete!

How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently move your teeth into new positions to transform your smile.
Initial consultation
At your initial appointment, we will examine your teeth and take 3D scans and images to ensure your aligners have a precise and accurate fit. We can even use the latest digital technology to show you a preview of how your smile will look following treatment!
ClinCheck & treatment plan
The scans and images taken of your teeth are used to create your bespoke treatment plan. Using innovative ClinCheck software, we can show you step by step how your teeth will move position as you wear your aligners.
Gradual straightening
You will need to wear each aligner in the series for approximately 2 weeks before moving on to the next one. As you wear each aligner in the series, your teeth move little by little until your new dream smile is created. The aligners control the amount and timing of movement based on your bespoke treatment plan, ensuring that each stage of treatment goes smoothly. We keep a close eye on your progress at regular appointments, making small adjustments if necessary to ensure an incredible outcome.
Smile!
Once you have worn your last aligner, treatment is complete, and you can get ready to show off your new straight smile! We will give you a final retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions for the long term.
