If you thought invisible braces were an impossible dream, think again! With incredible Invisalign treatment, we can straighten your teeth in secret!
What is Invisalign and is it suitable for me?
Invisalign is a modern aligner system, which offers an invisible alternative to traditional fixed braces. Many patients who are advised to have orthodontic treatment are reluctant to take the plunge because they worry about how they will look, how they will feel and what other people will think when they have their braces fitted. With Invisalign, patients have peace of mind that their appearance won’t change and they can feel more confident throughout the treatment process.
Invisalign caters for teenage and adult patients and it represents a great option for people who wish to retain a professional appearance, those who rely on their looks for work reasons and people who don’t want the hassle of coming up against comments and jibes as a result of wearing braces. With Invisalign, you can have the treatment you need without anybody else even knowing that you’re wearing braces.
This is a versatile treatment option that can benefit people with a range of different orthodontic problems. We will be able to assess whether it is a good match for you when you have your consultation.
How does Invisalign treatment work?
Invisalign has a different approach to treatment than traditional braces and it uses a sequence of bespoke, removable appliances called aligners to move the teeth. The aligners are created based on a personalised treatment plan, which is drawn up using advanced software. Each aligner is different and there is a set order. The aligners are worn in 2 week blocks until treatment is complete.
Invisalign aligners are removable, giving you freedom and convenience. However, it is important that they are in place for at least 21 hours per day. They are designed to be taken out for eating, cleaning the teeth and drinking.
If you like the sound of Invisalign, call today and book a consultation.
Crooked, crowded and overlapping teeth are fairly common, but there’s no need to feel downhearted if you don’t have perfectly straight teeth. We offer a range of modern orthodontic solutions to remedy overcrowding and create beautiful smiles.
Treating crowded teeth
Crowding is a fairly common problem, which tends to occur when there is a lack of space in the jaw and the teeth grow over and push against each other. In most cases, crowding is hereditary, but thumb-sucking and using a bottle during childhood can increase the risk.
Crowding is treated using orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics is the field of dentistry which deals with alignment and positioning of the teeth and jaws. The most common form of orthodontic treatment is a brace.
Our treatment options
We are proud to offer a diverse range of orthodontic treatments, including discreet removable aligners and modern fixed braces. Our treatments include:
Invisalign
Inman Aligner
Six Month Smiles
Which treatment is best for me?
It’s impossible to say which treatment suits you best without first examining the teeth and analysing the bite. When you come for a consultation, your dentist will perform thee tests and then chat to you about what you wish to gain from treatment and which kinds of treatments you prefer. Once they have the relevant information, they can make recommendations that will best suit your orthodontic needs and your treatment aims.
To arrange a consultation, simply call us or pop in if you’re passing.
If you thought orthodontic treatment was all about bulky, uncomfortable metal train-tracks, prepare to be amazed! The Inman Aligner is a shining example of how far the world of orthodontics has come.
What is the Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is a removable, discreet aligner designed to solve mild orthodontic problems that affect the front teeth. The aligner generates forces that push and pull the teeth, causing them to move, and creating a beautifully straight smile.
The Inman Aligner is not the same as other aligners. Although it is not invisible like Invisalign and Clearstep, it is very discreet and treatment time is much shorter. The only part of the aligner visible when you smile is a fine metal bar.
Who can benefit from the Inman Aligner?
The Inman Aligner is designed for patients who have minor issues that affect the teeth at the front of the mouth, such as mild crowding, crooked front teeth and gaps between front teeth. It can also be beneficial for patients who have suffered relapse after undergoing treatment in the past.
The benefits of the Inman Aligner
This innovative treatment offers an array of benefits, including:
speed: the average treatment time is just 16 weeks
simplicity: the treatment process is incredibly simple and patients can enjoy the flexibility and convenience of a removable brace
discretion: the aligner is very discreet and much less noticeable than a traditional fixed braces
comfort: the aligner uses state of the art technology to minimise discomfort
value for money: with fewer appointments needed and rapid treatment, this system is much less expensive than many others on the market

How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of appliances that are shaped according to a personalised treatment plan. Each one is different and all are custom-made. Each aligner remains in place for 2 weeks, and the aligners work in a set order.
During treatment, it’s important to wear the aligners for the recommended time each day. They can be taken out to brush your teeth and eat, but should be worn for at least 21-22 hours per day.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
Invisalign offers a host of benefits for patients who are looking for a discreet way of straightening their teeth. These custom-made aligners are light, they use gentle force to move the teeth and they are virtually invisible. They are also removable, which means that they have very little impact on the way you go about your day to day business. You can eat without any worries about breaking your brace or getting anything stuck in the brackets and you can clean your teeth in the normal way.

The field of orthodontics has seen many advances over the past few years, one of the most important being discreet and invisible braces. Orthodontic treatment choices in the past have been limited, and fixed braces haven’t always been the most aesthetically pleasing accessory. Patients now have a much wider range of choices when it comes to braces. One of the most impressive options is invisible braces, which allow patients to undergo orthodontic treatment without people even knowing it!
At Clifton Dental Studio, we offer some of the industry’s leading invisible braces, including Invisalign and the Inman Aligner.
Invisalign
Invisalign allows patients to get a stunning smile without people even realising they’re wearing braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are invisible when placed over the teeth. The aligners work in a specific order, and are to be changed every 2 weeks. Invisalign aligners are removable, which means that tooth-brushing and eating and drinking is made much easier.
The Inman Aligner
This is another impressive removable brace. Not strictly invisible, the Inman Aligner is a lot more discreet than a traditional fixed brace. There are two main components with the Inman Aligner, which work to create force and pressure to move the teeth into the desired position. The components are a spring (located at the back of the teeth) and a metal bar (located at the back of the teeth). The bar is very thin and fine so it is discreet in the mouth. The treatment time of the Inman Aligner is typically faster than other brace systems, with most cases being completed in as little as 16 weeks!
Imagine being able to enjoy a beautiful, straight smile in a matter of weeks without suffering any pain. With the Inman Aligner, this dream has become a reality and patients are able to see the results of treatment in just 8-16 weeks.
What is the Inman Aligner?
If you thought you had to wait months, even years for a straight smile, prepare to be amazed by the Inman Aligner. This removable appliance was developed in the USA and has become a great success around the world. It is made from a spring, which is located at the back of the teeth, and a metal bar, which runs across the front teeth. These parts produce forces that push and pull the teeth, gently squeezing them into position and correcting alignment issues.
The Inman Aligner is a modern alternative to traditional fixed braces for patients who do not require intensive treatment. This system focuses on the front teeth and is specifically designed to deal with minor issues, such as mild crowding and small gaps between the front teeth.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment time is the major selling-point of the Inman Aligner and the speed of treatment is so rapid that before you know it, you’ll be having your brace removed. Patients tend to start noticing a difference after just a couple of weeks and within 16 weeks almost all cases are complete.
How could the Inman Aligner benefit me?
If you are searching for an orthodontic solution for minor issues, offering comfort, convenience, speed and discreet aesthetics, look no further than the Inman Aligner. The treatment works incredibly quickly with minimum disruption to your day to day life and reduced pain. This brace gives you the freedom to brush your teeth in the normal way and enjoy eating without any panic about getting bits of spinach or herbs stuck in your teeth and the metal bar is very fine, so the brace is hardly noticeable.
The Inman Aligner can also be very beneficial for patients who have already had treatment in the past as a means of treating relapse.
