Straighten Your Smile Without the Struggle: Why Invisalign Might Be Exactly What You Need

Most people don’t dream of having braces. But almost everyone wants to feel good about their smile.

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but the idea of metal brackets, wires, or food getting stuck puts you off, there’s another way. One that fits into your daily life quietly, comfortably, and without the visual fuss.

Welcome to the world of Invisalign.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners, often called “invisible braces”, are custom-made mouthpieces made from medical-grade plastic. They’re designed to gently guide your teeth into a straighter, healthier position, without the look or feel of traditional metal braces.

They’re clear.
They’re removable.
They’re discreet enough that most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

At Longwood House Dental Practice, we only use Invisalign®, the world’s leading clear aligner system, because when it comes to your smile, we don’t compromise.

So, How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign treatment uses a series of transparent SmartTrack® aligners, created with cutting-edge 3D scanning and printing technology. No messy impressions, no guesswork.

At your consultation, we’ll use our iTero digital scanner to take a detailed 3D image of your mouth, and show you a virtual preview of how your new smile will look. You’ll know exactly what to expect, before you even start.

Your aligners are designed to move your teeth little by little, painlessly and precisely. Every few weeks, you’ll change to a new set of aligners as your smile transforms.

How Long Will It Take?

This is where Invisalign really shines, it’s flexible and tailored to you.

Some patients complete treatment in as little as 4–6 months. Others may need 12–18 months, depending on the complexity of their case.

No two smiles are the same, which is why no two treatment plans are either. And we’re with you every step of the way.

What Invisalign Can Help With

Invisalign isn’t just about cosmetics. It can correct:
Gaps between teeth
Crowding or overlapping
Rotated or misaligned teeth
Bite issues (like overbite or crossbite)

And because straight teeth are easier to clean, you’re also investing in your long-term dental health.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Cheaper Online Aligners?

You may have seen clear aligners sold online at a discount. The promise is tempting, but the risk is real.

Invisalign isn’t just about plastic trays. It’s a clinically guided process, monitored by experienced dental professionals who understand how teeth, gums, and bone structure work together. You’re not buying aligners, you’re getting personalised care, attention to detail, and the kind of results that only expert hands can deliver.

At Longwood House, we combine the precision of Invisalign with the latest tech (like the iTero scanner) and a human approach that puts you at ease, because getting your dream smile shouldn’t feel stressful.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

Invisalign treatment is bespoke, so the price varies based on your case.

Here’s a rough guide:
From £1,500 for simple alignment
Around £2,500–£3,500 for moderate cases
Up to £5,000 for more complex treatment

We’ll always explain costs clearly and offer flexible finance options, so you feel in control.

Not Sure If Invisalign Is Right for You?

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate, we invite you to get a second opinion. With our experience and access to advanced techniques, we’ve helped many patients who thought clear aligners weren’t possible for them.

We treat complex cases.
We care about your comfort.
And we’re really good at what we do.
