Invisalign in Nottingham: a quietly straightened smile, planned around your face and your life

Removable, virtually invisible appliances that are planned digitally before the first aligner is worn. Invisalign clear aligners move your teeth gradually into a planned final position, without fixed metal braces. 

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear aligner orthodontic system. A full arch iTero 5D digital scan of your teeth is used to plan a precise tooth by tooth movement sequence. A series of custom thermoplastic aligners is then manufactured to deliver those movements in small, controlled steps.

1.

Pre Treatment

Your journey begins with a free consultation with our Treatment Coordinator and a full arch iTero 5D digital scan. No putty impressions. The scan captures a precise three dimensional model of your teeth, used to build your ClinCheck simulation showing how your teeth will move and what the final result will look like. You review and refine the plan with Dr Edward Young before any aligners are ordered.

2.

Treatment

Once you are happy with your ClinCheck plan, your custom Invisalign aligners are manufactured and delivered. At your fitting appointment, small tooth coloured attachments are bonded to selected teeth and your first set of aligners is fitted. You wear each aligner for around two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day, progressing through the series at home. Regular check ins with Dr Edward Young keep your progress on track.

3.

Post Treatment

As your planned teeth movements near completion, a short round of refinement aligners is often used to polish the result. Once active movement is finished, complimentary professional whitening is provided to brighten your newly straightened teeth. Your result is then locked in with custom retainers. Retainer wear is a long term commitment, not a short term phase, and we discuss this openly from your very first visit.

4.

Your New Smile

With your retainers fitted and whitening complete, your treatment is finished. If Invisalign has been planned as part of a wider cosmetic pathway, this is the point at which composite bonding or porcelain veneers can be sequenced for a coordinated cosmetic result. Your aftercare and any long term retainer adjustments are managed by Dr Edward Young throughout.

    "I have had Invisalign done by Dr Edward and the service has been so great. He knows exactly what I’m trying to achieve and has been brilliant in his support and aftercare to help me to achieve this. The process was smooth efficient and so friendly too. I would highly recommend for those seeking the…"
    "Amazing experience so far with Dr Young. I have had Invisalign. Dr Young always listens to what you want and tailors around you. I will be reviewing again at the end of treatment, but this is definitely the place to go if you want any dental/cosmetic treatments :-)!"
    "Lovely clinic. Was offered a free assessment and given lots of information about Invisalign. All my questions were answered and was also given a scan of my teeth now and how they would look after Invisalign. Very helpful and would come again!"

    Why Choose Invisalign?

    Misaligned teeth can affect more than appearance. Crowded or crooked teeth are harder to clean, which raises the risk of decay and gum disease over time. Gaps between teeth can allow neighbouring teeth to drift. Invisalign addresses alignment by moving teeth gradually into a planned position, improving both appearance and long term oral health. A consultation with Dr Edward Young will confirm whether Invisalign is the right option for your smile.

    Who Is Invisalign Suitable For?

    Most adults who want straighter teeth are clinically suitable for Invisalign. The treatment works well for mild to moderate crowding, gaps between teeth, front teeth that have shifted with age, mild to moderate overbite or underbite, and post orthodontic relapse. It can also be used as the alignment phase before cosmetic work such as composite bonding or a full smile makeover. Where Invisalign is not the right option for your case, Dr Edward Young will explain the alternatives clearly and without pressure.

    Honest assessment, always

That might mean fixed braces for a more complex case, or a different cosmetic route altogether. We would rather give you the right advice than the wrong treatment.

    Frequently
    Asked
    Questions

    We want you to feel confident at every stage of your journey, so here are answers to the most common questions about Invisalign treatment.
    How long does Invisalign treatment take?

    Treatment duration depends on your individual case. Most patients complete Invisalign treatment within 6 to 18 months. A personalised timeline is produced as part of your ClinCheck simulation before any aligners are ordered, so you know what to expect from the start. More straightforward cases under Invisalign Lite are typically shorter; more involved cases are assessed and quoted individually after your 3D scan.

    Can I remove my aligners?

    Yes. Invisalign aligners are fully removable. You take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss your teeth. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment. To keep treatment on track, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day.

    Will Invisalign affect my speech or comfort?

    Invisalign aligners are made from smooth BPA free plastic with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks. Mild pressure for the first day or two of each new aligner is normal and means the aligner is working. For the first few days you may notice a slight lisp as your tongue adapts; this almost always resolves within a week. The vast majority of patients find Invisalign considerably more comfortable than fixed braces.

    What is the difference between Invisalign and fixed braces?

    Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, smooth and fully removable for eating, drinking and cleaning. There are no brackets or wires. Invisalign typically suits adults seeking a discreet, flexible treatment with a cosmetic led finish. Fixed braces may be more appropriate for complex skeletal cases, significant rotations or growing patients. Dr Edward Young will advise which option is right for your specific situation.

    Can I have Invisalign before a wedding or important event?

    Often, yes, but the timing matters. For an event around 6 months away, an Invisalign Lite case is a realistic option. For shorter timeframes, Dr Edward Young will be straightforward about whether starting treatment is the right choice.

    How much does Invisalign cost?

    Invisalign Lite starts from £3,650 and is suited to milder cases including minor crowding, mild spacing and post orthodontic relapse. Invisalign Moderate and Comprehensive cases, covering bite correction and larger arch changes, are quoted individually after your iTero scan and ClinCheck review. Combined cosmetic pathways pairing Invisalign with composite bonding or veneers are also quoted per case. A clear written quote is provided with no pressure and no obligation.
