At Ina Dental, we believe your new smile should start with a detailed smile assessment and new smile simulation. This will help us determine whether Invisalign® clear aligners are the right treatment for you. At your smile assessment we can show you more about the comfortable, removable and nearly invisible Invisalign system and how this treatment easily fits into your lifestyle.
We're proud to be part of the world-wide team of Invisalign® providers, where over six million straight smiles speak for themselves.
Invisalign® clear aligner treatments have been proven to be effective in addressing many common dental problems, including overcrowding of teeth, widely spaced teeth and over and underbites. Invisalign has become increasingly sought after as opposed to metal braces as the virtually invisible aligners are comfortable and cause significantly less irritation to gums, teeth and cheeks. As the aligners are wire-free, they can be removed for up to two hours during times of eating, drinking and brushing.
We are proud to have a highly experienced team of Invisalign® providers and have many Smile Stories to share. We look forward to sharing your story.

Invisalign® clear aligners are a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, we can plan your complete Invisalign® treatment based on your dentist’s prescription, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.
Then a series of Invisalign® clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your dentist, based on your specific needs.
Dentists and orthodontists have successfully used removable appliances for years. However, with the application of Align Technology’s 3D computer technology and aligner customisation, Invisalign® clear aligners can be used to treat a wide range of patients who want straighter teeth. The unique ClinCheck® software allows patients to see their treatment plan from beginning to end even before the start of treatment.
In 1945, Dr. H.D. Kiesling envisioned that one day modern technology would enable the use of a series of tooth positioners to produce the kinds of movements required for comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Align Technology has made this vision a reality. Using advanced computer technology, Align Technology produces a series of customised Invisalign® clear aligners. Each aligner is worn sequentially by the patient to produce gradual tooth movements in both upper and lower arches.
Invisalign® clear aligners are sold in over 45 countries including the USA, Canada, Europe, China, Japan, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East, and supported by distributors in smaller emerging growth countries in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America.
Invisalign® clear aligners move teeth with an appropriate placement of controlled movement on the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® treatment not only controls the amount of movement per aligner, but also the timing of the movement. So at each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, as per the treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position.
Then a series of Invisalign® clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. Your Invisalign® treatment time will be determined by your dentist, based on your specific needs.
While Invisalign® clear aligners can be used with virtually any treatment philosophy, special training is needed which we have undertaken here at INA Dental.
Invisalign® appointment intervals are generally the same as with traditional braces but can be much quicker with less time spent in the dentists’ or orthodontists’ chair during appointments as no adjustments need to be made to wires/brackets. Patients typically visit their us every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned and to receive their next few sets of Invisalign® aligners. We are also now offering remote VIDEO treatment monitoring for your added safety and convenience.
Some people may experience temporary, minor discomfort for a few days, at the beginning of each new stage of treatment when they insert a new Invisalign® aligner. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It is a sign that the aligners are working – moving your teeth gradually, helping you to achieve the final results. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.
Because bridges firmly link two or more teeth together, they offer significant resistance to tooth movement. Your Invisalign® dentist here at INA Dental will be able to determine whether bridges will be a factor in your treatment.
Crowns (tooth caps) are usually not a factor in Invisalign® treatment. However, sometimes small tooth-coloured composites called “attachments” are bonded onto teeth to help achieve certain movements and are more difficult to bond on crowns than teeth. In these cases, the location of crowns must be carefully evaluated. Our Invisalign® dentist can provide further advice during an initial smile assessment consultation.
Invisalign® clear aligners are nearly invisible. No one may even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible aligners, making Invisalign® treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.
Invisalign® clear aligners are removable giving you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and to maintain good oral hygiene.
Unlike traditional fixed dental braces, there are no metal brackets or wires. This means that in most cases, less time is spent at the dentist for adjustments.
Advanced 3D computer-imaging technology allows you to view your virtual results (ask about our FREE Smile Visualisation) and receive a detailed treatment plan so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.
Align Technology Inc., the company that manufactures Invisalign® clear aligners, was founded in 1997.
More than 7 million patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign® clear aligners but the number of Invisalign® patients (and new smiles) grows daily!
As with other types of orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign® clear aligners is dependent upon the complexity of your teeth straightening and your course of treatment. As a general rule, the cost is comparable to traditional fixed braces.
In simple terms, the more complex your teeth straightening, the more Invisalign® aligners are needed to achieve your best smile. Conversely, the less complex the straightening, the less Invisalign® aligners are needed. Consequently, based on the number of Invisalign® aligners your dentist prescribes as needed, the price goes up or down accordingly.
On this basis, only an accredited Invisalign® dentist is able to determine your cost. However as a guide before an assessment, here at INA Dental, prices for Invisalign® treatment are generally between £1,500 -£3,500 (depending upon the complexity).
The virtually invisible Invisalign® clear aligners are made of strong medical grade thermoplastic material, uniquely developed specifically for the Invisalign® treatment system. The aligners are custom-made for you and fit snugly over your teeth.
