Invisalign at New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics in Kent offers a discreet, comfortable solution for straightening misaligned teeth.

These clear aligners effectively treat spacing, crowding, and bite issues, providing a custom, nearly invisible way to achieve a beautifully aligned, confident smile.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign teeth straightening is performed by our skilled dentists experienced in orthodontic care. The process begins with a consultation to evaluate your dental alignment and discuss your goals.

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a customised treatment plan is created, showing the step-by-step movement of your teeth. Your dentist provides a series of clear, removable aligners tailored to fit comfortably over your teeth. Each aligner is worn for around 1-2 weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position. Regular check-ups ensure progress and address any concerns. Invisalign clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease while achieving effective and predictable results over the treatment duration.

When will you see results from Invisalign?

Invisalign results vary, with most patients noticing improvements within weeks. Treatment typically lasts 6-18 months, depending on the complexity of alignment issues. Once completed, results are long-lasting, provided you maintain proper aftercare, including wearing retainers as recommended.

Maintaining Invisalign Results

Retainers help keep your teeth in their new position and prevent shifting over time. Regular dental check-ups ensure alignment stability. While Invisalign treatment usually doesn’t need to be repeated, neglecting retainers or poor oral hygiene may affect results. By following your dentist’s instructions and maintaining healthy habits, your straightened smile can remain attractive and functional for years to come, without the need for additional aligner therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Is Invisalign treatment painful?

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign clear aligners is generally not painful, though some patients may experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new aligner.

This feeling is temporary and indicates that your teeth are moving as intended. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth and less likely to irritate gums or cheeks. Over-the-counter pain relief can be used if necessary, but most patients adjust quickly to the aligners. Your dentist will monitor your progress and ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process.

Am I suitable for Invisalign treatment at your clinic in Kent?

At our clinic in Kent, we recommend arranging a consultation to determine if Invisalign is the right teeth straightening option for you. Generally, patients with healthy teeth and all their adult teeth are likely suitable. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific needs, including any complex bite issues or existing dental work, to confirm if Invisalign is suitable for your goals.

Will I need to wear Invisalign clear aligners at night?

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours daily, including at night, to achieve effective results. Consistent wear ensures that your teeth are gradually and predictably aligned. Aligners are only removed for eating, drinking (non-water beverages), brushing, and flossing.

Wearing them at night is essential for maintaining progress during sleep, as teeth can shift without consistent pressure. Sticking to the recommended schedule helps you stay on track with your treatment timeline and ensures optimal results.

What are Invisalign aligners made from?

Invisalign clear aligners are made from SmartTrack®, a patented thermoplastic material designed for comfort and effectiveness. This BPA-free, medical-grade plastic is clear, flexible, and durable, ensuring aligners fit snugly over your teeth while applying gentle, consistent pressure for realignment.

SmartTrack® is hypoallergenic and tailored to provide maximum efficiency in moving teeth while minimising discomfort. Its transparency makes Invisalign clear aligners nearly invisible, offering a discreet alternative to metal braces. The high-quality material is specifically engineered to ensure both comfort and predictable results throughout your treatment.
