The Invisalign treatment time varies from patient to patient as it is determined based on how much movement is required to straighten your teeth. The average treatment lasts between 6 to 8 months, this is what makes Invisalign one of the fastest braces treatments on the market.

Invisalign works by applying controlled force on your teeth to move their positioning over time, so if your underbite is a result of out of place teeth then Invisalign can work to fix this. However, if your underbite is a result of your skeleton formation then Invisalign will not be able to help as this would require surgery to decrease the bottom jaws protrusion.

The Invisalign treatment is one of the most efficient and fastest treatments on the market with over 5 million users. Here at Hale Bowden, our prices start at £3000, but the cost of the treatment may change depending on the severity of the realignment of the teeth.

You should never smoke with Invisalign as the nicotine and chemicals can cause the Invisalign aligner to deform. With alcohol, you shouldn’t drink red or white wines whilst you have an Invisalign aligner in as this could cause staining on the aligner, with any other drinks we recommend you remove the aligner when drinking any alcohol.

Invisalign will work even if you have a crown as the tooth will still act and move just like a real tooth. The clear aligner trays are custom created to the shape of your teeth and that will include your crowns.

Invisalign treatment will quickly align your teeth over a 6 to 8 month period, but after this period we recommend you keep wearing your aligners to prevent a relapse. A lot of our customers tend to wear their aligners when they go to bed after finishing the course to keep their teeth straight and aligned.
