One of the most exciting developments in modern orthodontics is invisible braces. With clear braces, we can straighten the teeth without patients feeling any anxiety about how their treatment will affect their looks or their confidence. If you’re searching for an invisible means of banishing crooked or twisted teeth for good and getting a beautiful smile, allow us to introduce you to Invisalign.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system, which provides patients who wish to remain incognito during their treatment with an amazing alternative to traditional metal fixed braces. With this treatment, the aligners are virtually undetectable, so nobody needs to know that you’re having treatment and you can feel confident when you look in the mirror, take to the stage for a presentation or go for that all-important job interview.
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.

If you’ve been searching for a painless, effective and discreet solution for orthodontic issues, your search is over!
The ins and outs of Invisalign
A modern alternative to traditional fixed braces, Invisalign offers a host of benefits for patients with minor or moderate orthodontic issues. Invisalign has a different approach to treatment, as it uses a series of appliances, rather than a single device, to straighten the teeth. Each Invisalign patient receives a set of custom-made aligners to be worn for just 2 weeks and then replaced by the next aligner until the series is complete.
Invisalign aligners are light and they are manufactured from clear high-grade plastic, which is virtually undetectable when you smile. With Invisalign, you can enjoy the benefits of treatment safe in the knowledge that nobody can see your brace.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment times with Invisalign vary because every patient requires different amounts of movement. In minor cases, treatment may take less than 12 months, while patients with more complex needs may be advised to wear the aligners for up to 2 years. We will be able to give you an accurate estimate during the consultation stage.
Is Invisalign the best choice for me?
Invisalign certainly offers an array of advantages for patients and is a great choice for those who have perhaps been worried about wearing visible braces in the past. However, it is impossible to say that it is the best option without a consultation, as this system is more suited to some patients than others. Invisalign is a versatile treatment and it is suitable for most patients, but in some cases there may be other options worth considering and we can explore these with you.
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!
One of the most important advances in the field of orthodontics is the introduction of discreet braces. For many years, patients who needed orthodontic treatment had a very limited choice, and fixed braces, although extremely effective, are not the most aesthetically pleasing accessory. Now, patients have a much wider range of options, including a host of impressive invisible brace treatments. These innovations allow patients to enjoy all the benefits of treatment with the added bonus of improved aesthetics during treatment.
We offer some of the world’s leading discreet braces, including Invisalign and the Inman Aligner.
About Invisalign
Marketed as an invisible brace system, Invisalign enables patients to get a beautiful smile without anyone being able to spot that they are wearing braces. Rather than using a traditional brace, Invisalign employs a sequence of clear aligners, which are impossible to see when they are placed over the top of the teeth. These aligners are similar to a very light and delicate version of a mouth guard and they work in a particular order, each one in place for 2 weeks. Invisalign aligners can be taken out, which makes tooth-brushing and eating much easier and less stressful than with fixed braces.
The Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is another impressive removable brace and although it is not strictly invisible, as with Invisalign aligners, it is much more discreet than a traditional fixed brace. With the Inman Aligner, there are two main components, which are responsible for creating force and pressure to move the teeth; these include a spring, which sits at the back of the teeth and a metal bar, which is located at the front of the teeth. The bar is visible, but it is very fine and thin and treatment time is so short that most people are willing to make the compromise with the aesthetics. Most cases are complete within just 16 weeks.
Have you ever considered undergoing orthodontic treatment, but been put off by the stigma attached to braces? If this is the case and you long for straight teeth, allow us to introduce you to Invisalign, an invisible aligner treatment, which offers the opportunity to enjoy a perfectly aligned smile without any of the stress associated with visible braces. Invisalign is a popular treatment for teenagers and adults who are looking for a more discreet alternative to traditional braces.
The ins and outs of Invisalign
Invisalign offers an alternative to normal braces and it uses a different approach to treatment. Rather than utilising a fixed appliance, Invisalign employs a series of clear aligners to force the teeth into position. Each aligner is bespoke and the appliances work in a set order. The aligners are worn for 2 weeks and then replaced.
Invisalign aligners do not look anything like normal fixed braces; they are made to fit over the top of your teeth in a similar way to a gum shield worn for sport and they are completely clear. The aim of treatment is to straighten the teeth with optimum aesthetics, comfort and convenience.
The benefits
Most people choose Invisalign because the aligners are virtually invisible and this means that life doesn’t have to change much once treatment has started; you don’t need to worry about what people will think or about how you look. You can also eat and brush your teeth in the normal way, as the aligners can be taken out and popped back in very quickly and easily.
Aligners are light and they don’t have any troublesome bands or ties, which can be very painful.
Invisalign is suitable for many orthodontic patients and it can be utilised to correct a variety of issues, from mild crowding to gaps between the teeth.

If you ask anyone that has ever had to endure wearing traditional fixed braces in Chepstow, two issues will always crop up.

Patients from Swindon and across the UK are becoming more concerned with how their teeth look. If you feel that your teeth are not quite as straight as they could be, this could be having a negative effect on your confidence. In years gone by, the solution to this would have involved the fitting of unsightly metal braces, something which many people felt uncomfortable with. It is easy to understand why, as traditional braces can look unpleasant and also be a source of discomfort for patients. So, if you would like to have a perfect smile, but are wary of orthodontic braces, then Invisalign could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
The Invisalign system takes the form of small and virtually invisible braces which will gradually shift your teeth into the correct position while having a minimal impact on your day to day life. Discretion is assured! The braces are easy to wear and are lightweight and transparent. One of the main advantages of this system is that they can be easily removed for eating and drinking, so they shouldn’t interfere too much with your social life and you don’t have the problem of food getting stuck in them.
If you visit the Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol and decide that this is the system for you, we will have a set made to measure for you at a laboratory. These will be worn for a period of two weeks before being replaced by the next set. This process does mean a few trips to the dentist but also ensures that the improvement in your smile is gradual and natural looking. At the end of a period between twelve and eighteen months, you will be the proud owner of the straight and even smile that you’ve always wanted.
