Invisalign Clear Aligners
See your smile in a whole new way
iTero Element® scanner
Your new smile begins with a 3D image of your teeth in just minutes using an iTero scanner, a leading digital scanner from the makers of Invisalign® clear aligners.
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you.
These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist plans out for you.
First, your dentist will take a digital scan of your teeth with the iTero scanner, which will serve to mould your first set of aligners. Your dentist will then work to fine-tune every shift in every tooth using Invisalign software, providing a type of road map for your new smile.
Your dentist can even show you your new smile before you even get started with our recently acquired iTero Scanner.
Invisalign aligners are also removable, so you can continue brushing and flossing normally. This can lead to better overall dental health in the future.
Invisalign clear braces can treat multiple dental problems:
underbite
crossbite
open bite
Overbite
gap teeth
- crooked teeth
- and a mix of baby and permanent teeth.
If your teeth are generally straight, but you would like them to be better aligned, Invisalign can help.
Longwood House is an Invisalign Platinum Elite Provider in Ilford. This award certifies and recognises the quality of our work in invisible orthodontic treatments with more than 100 patients treated per year.
The great benefit of Invisalign is that it provides an aesthetic, more flexible way to give teens, tweens, and adults the confidence of a great smile. Invisalign is proven effective in shaping simple to complex smiles.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible, which means you can carry on enjoying life without the restrictions, irritation, and self-consciousness associated with metal brackets and wires.
These invisible braces have become very popular because they are so discreet. Keep in mind, however, that all clear aligners are not alike. Only Invisalign clear aligners are made of SmartTrack material, so they are more comfortable and easier to put on and take off. The SmartTrack material improves control and precision in tooth movements, for the smile you expect — with treatment times up to 50% faster.
Some teenagers will be suitable for the same Invisalign treatment as adult patients.
Younger teenagers, or those who haven’t got all of their adult teeth erupted can be treated with Invisalign Teen, a treatment designed specifically for teenagers. Your Invisalign dentist will determine which treatment best suits your individual needs and the condition of your teeth.
Also, your dentist can discuss the Invisalign cost with you. We have payment plans that keep the treatment affordable, which everyone appreciates. Invisalign may be more affordable than you think.

Testimonials
Some kind words from our patients
I also had my teeth whitened with their Home Whitening Kit which worked a treat. I wish I had done this years ago! Now I can’t stop smiling.
During my treatment, hardly anyone noticed I had my braces in! The first day they went in I felt the pressure on the teeth and found it difficult to talk without lisping. But I soon got used to it and sometimes forgot I was wearing them as they became comfortable.
I had the Invisalign for around six months, and the results were amazing. I then had to undergo a series of dental fillings, and even though it felt tedious, once I saw the result, I knew everything was worth it.
Dr. Ahmed and her colleagues are all very professional. They make everyone feel valued as their client. And when the pandemic hit, I can only praise them for their strict COVID19 protocol (confirmation of health two days before, temperature checks, PPEs worn, hand sanitizers, etc.). I felt very safe, especially knowing that aerosol generating procedures are being done in their clinic.
I highly recommend this practice.”
Dr Ahmed was very friendly and we went through all my options and finally decided on the Invisalign for which she also gave me a discount. After a deposit was paid, impressions, x-rays, and pictures of my teeth were taken after which my dental animation came and she explained the entire process, how long will it take, and so on. She then sent me the animation by email and I gave my written confirmation that she may proceed to order the aligners. I have 30 aligners to wear which is a lot more than I was expecting but hey, when it comes to teeth, the slowest is the healthiest.
After the aligners came, I went over and she carefully prepared my teeth for the aligners to be put on and I didn`t feel any pain or any discomfort whatsoever. She was very gentle and always explained what she was doing. A true professional.
I am now on my first set of trays and I will see her again in 3 weeks for which I look forward to.
In my honest opinion, she has been nothing but great and professional all the way so I trust her opinion and am glad to have chosen her as my orthodontist.”
