Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a discreet orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made clear aligners. It offers a modern alternative to fixed braces, allowing teeth to be moved gradually and predictably while maintaining comfort and aesthetics.
At Harley Private Dental, Invisalign treatment is planned and delivered by experienced clinicians, with a focus on accuracy, long-term oral health, and realistic outcomes.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of removable, virtually invisible aligners that are custom-designed to move your teeth into their planned positions over time. Each aligner is worn for a short period before progressing to the next, gently guiding tooth movement in a controlled way.
Treatment is digitally planned from the outset, allowing both clinician and patient to visualise the expected outcome before treatment begins.
A clinician-led approach to teeth straightening
Successful orthodontic treatment depends on more than aligners alone. Our approach includes:
- Full assessment of bite and tooth position
- Digital scanning and treatment planning
- Monitoring tooth movement throughout treatment
- Focus on stability and long-term results
We aim for results that are not only straight, but also balanced, functional, and maintainable.
What Invisalign can help with
Invisalign may be suitable for correcting:
- Crowded teeth
- Spacing or gaps
- Mild to moderate misalignment
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
- Bite concerns such as overbite or crossbite
Suitability will always be confirmed following a clinical assessment.
The Invisalign process
1. Consultation and assessment
Your teeth, bite, and oral health are assessed to determine whether Invisalign is suitable for you.
2. Digital scan and planning
A 3D digital scan is used to plan tooth movement and create a series of custom aligners.
3. Wearing your aligners
Aligners are worn for the majority of the day and removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
4. Progress reviews
Regular reviews ensure teeth are moving as planned and adjustments can be made if needed.
5. Retention
Once treatment is complete, retainers are provided to help maintain your result.
