Who is Invisalign for
Invisalign can successfully treat mild to moderate crooked teeth issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, crossbite, underbite, open bite, and relapse after previous braces.
Invisalign Treatment Journey: Just Six Simple Steps
Step 1: Your Invisalign Consultation – Is It Right for You?
A comprehensive examination and consultation are the first steps in the Invisalign journey to ensure this is the ideal treatment solution for your case.
During this visit, our experts will assess existing malalignments, bite issues, and the overall health of your teeth and gums. Be sure to discuss any concerns you may have and your expectations for the outcome of the treatment with our specialists.
If you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign, our orthodontists will explain how the treatment works, the expected duration, and the associated costs.
Step 2: Digital Smile Scanning and Treatment Planning
A careful treatment plan is essential for the success of Invisalign treatment. This can be achieved by gathering detailed information about the case to meticulously plan your Invisalign treatment.
At Camden High Street Dental Practice, we utilise advanced 3D digital scanning technology with the iTero scanner, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. This scan captures an accurate image of your teeth and bite, which is then used to design your personalised Invisalign treatment plan.
This digital scan technology allows you to preview how your teeth will move and visualise the expected final result.
The collected images and radiographic scans will help develop a comprehensive treatment plan, including the number of required aligners and the specifications for each one. These scans will then be sent to the Invisalign lab to manufacture your aligners.
Step 3: Receiving Your Custom Invisalign Aligners
Your custom aligners are designed specifically for your teeth and treatment plan. Once they arrive, you will return to the practice to receive them, along with a detailed explanation of how to use and care for them.
Step 4: Living Your Life with Invisalign
One of Invisalign’s greatest advantages is how seamlessly it integrates into everyday life. Because the aligners are removable, you can:
- Enjoy your favorite foods without any restrictions.
- Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine.
- Remove aligners briefly for eating and cleaning.
Consistency is essential. Wearing your aligners as instructed, 20 to 22 hours daily, ensures your treatment stays on track and finishes on time.
It is completely normal to experience mild discomfort when using your aligners for the first time; this indicates that your teeth are beginning to move. The discomfort typically lasts only a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Step 5: Progress Reviews and Ongoing Support
Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you will attend periodic check-ups at Camden High Street Dental Practice. These appointments allow us to:
- Monitor tooth movement.
- Ensure the aligners fit correctly.
- Make adjustments if necessary.
- Detect early gum disease or tooth decay to enable prompt treatment.
The required frequency of follow-up visits is significantly lower compared to traditional orthodontic treatments, making Invisalign an ideal option for busy schedules.
Our team is always available to answer your questions, address your concerns, and support you every step of the way.
Step 6: Completing Treatment and Fitting Retainers
To maintain your results, we provide custom retainers designed to keep your teeth in their new positions. Wearing retainers as instructed is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting over time. This step ensures that your Invisalign results last for years to come.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
One of the main advantages of Invisalign is that it typically offers a shorter treatment duration compared to traditional braces. While there is no fixed treatment timeline for Invisalign, most cases are completed within 6 to 18 months.
The duration depends on various factors, including:
- Case complexity: Mild alignment issues can be corrected more quickly, whereas more complex cases may require additional time.
- Compliance with wearing the aligners: You should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, which means always keeping them in, including during sleep. Remove your aligners only when eating and for cleaning. Failure to wear the aligners for the recommended duration may extend your treatment time.
During your consultation, our experts will provide a personalised estimate tailored to your specific case.
