Why is the Invisalign cost worth the investment?
There are numerous incredible advantages to opting for Invisalign that promote this distinctive teeth-straightening system as the go-to orthodontic solution. There is one factor, though, that most patients will have to factor into their decision making – the Invisalign cost London.
It is not uncommon for patients to hesitate, at first, when seeing the price tag of their treatment plan as the Invisalign cost London can be a bit higher than traditional orthodontic systems, but this is not too surprising when one takes into account the advanced dental technologies the system depends on. Dental technologies that make teeth-straightening relatively more discreet, comfortable and convenient.
Choosing Clear Braces Direct for Invisalign treatment offers patients a number of ways to pay for their treatment plans. We have available two Invisalign treatment packages, each targeting a different level of orthodontic complexity. The Invisalign Lite option is limited to a maximum of 14 aligners while the Invisalign Comprehensive option offers a set of more than 14 aligners (as many as is needed to give patients the results they are after).
Here’s why we believe the Invisalign cost London is worth considering to benefit from this remarkable orthodontic system.
Benefits that make the investment in Invisalign worth it
One of the most significant benefits, especially to image-conscious professional adult patients is the fact that Invisalign aligners offer a higher level of discreteness. The aligners are made out of transparent thermoplastic material so that they are barely noticeable when placed on teeth, hiding the fact that the patient is on a teeth-straightening plan.
The comfort afforded by Invisalign aligners is another factor that is not easily dismissed. Our customised Invisalign aligners are made from BPA-free plastic that is specially contoured to provide comfort to the gums. Furthermore, there are no metal parts in its design to poke into sensitive inner cheeks.
Convenience is another deliverable of the Invisalign system. Convenience is delivered by the removable feature of the aligners. Patients, both young and old, will appreciate the fact that since they can remove the aligners before eating and drinking, they are not restricted to a particular diet and can continue to enjoy their favourite foods without the worry of damaging their aligners.
The second form of convenience is the saving of time during oral hygiene routines. With no metal components to get in the way of toothbrush bristle or floss thread, cleaning the mouth becomes simple and easy to accomplish.
Patients will have to pay attention to keeping their aligner trays sterile too. Any bad bacteria left on trays can be transferred back into the mouth. It is important for patients to follow the recommended guidelines for cleaning trays. Using any other products on them may damage or stain the trays which would only hinder the patient’s smile journey.
Interested in the Invisalign treatment offered by Clear Braces Direct? The first thing to do is to book a free 3D Invisalign scan to get things started. We will also set up an in-house consultation with an experienced Invisalign-trained dental professional.
An introduction to Invisalign
It can be very difficult if you are an adult who has misaligned teeth. You may be concerned about how people judge you or that your smile negatively impacts your daily life.
But you may also have concerns that undertaking orthodontic treatment will draw undue attention to your smile or that it may even be expensive or excessively uncomfortable. Luckily, in modern orthodontic care, there is a way for you to get the smile you want without needing to wear a fitted metal brace, and this option is an invisible or clear aligner.
As our name suggests, we at Clear Braces Direct offer our clients clear or invisible braces, specifically Invisalign London. This aligner has changed the face of adult orthodontic care and can help you to get the straighter smile that you want in as little as 3 months. Great stuff!
If you have never heard of invisible aligners like Invisalign London, then you may want to know more before pursuing this treatment option. Here, our team offers a brief introductory guide to this treatment to help you decide whether it is right for you.
What are invisible aligners?
Invisalign London is visually similar to a mouthguard, and it is made from clear plastic. Unlike braces, which require adjustments or tightening to move your teeth, the aligners work by gradually applying pressure to your teeth in order to move them. It does this due to the shape of each aligner in the set. A typical set of invisible aligners will contain between 12 and 14 aligners, so when you change each aligner (every two weeks on average), the unique shape will move your teeth.
How do they work?
As mentioned earlier, invisible aligners move your teeth due to the shape of each aligner in the series. How do they do this? During your initial consultation with our team, we will use an intraoral scanner to take a clear image of the position of your teeth. Using computer software, we will then move this digital image into the final desired shape. From this, a set of aligners will be printed to match each step needed. Once they are applied to your teeth, the aligners should move your teeth as predicted in the computer-generated simulation.
Treatment time
Many people believe that because invisible aligners do not need to be adjusted or tightened that they will take longer. However, as the majority of patients who undergo this treatment have a mild to moderate case of dental misalignment, the average treatment time is between 3 and 6 months. But our team will be able to offer a more personalised breakdown of your treatment timeline.
Daily care
The daily care of invisible aligners is easy. You need to wear them for a minimum of 22 hours per day or as recommended by our team. To keep them clean, simply rinse them under a cold water tap. Alternatively, you can use a denture soak or one of the branded washes that will help keep the aligners clean and minty fresh.
Results
The end result of using invisible aligners will be no different to the results obtained using a standard brace. Your teeth will be straighter and healthier. However, you will need to wear a retainer to ensure that your teeth stay in the correct positions and do not revert.
What are the advantages of straight teeth at home with Invisalign
For decades, patients wanting to straighten their smiles had to have traditional orthodontic devices as their only option and attend frequent dental appointments for manual adjustments to be made to their braces. These visits would be another tick off of an already burdened to-do list.
Fortunately, there is a simpler and more convenient way to have a well-aligned smile. We at Clear Braces Direct are proud to introduce our straight teeth at home London process with the modern Invisalign aligner system. We offer a simple, streamlined and direct-to-patient service that allows patients to straighten their teeth without unwelcome fuss.
Is it really possible to achieve straight teeth at home London? We would like to assure you that it is. And what is more, patients choosing our straight teeth at home London with Invisalign aligners will receive all the benefits of a beautiful straight smile and more. Here’s a look at some of the plus points of our direct-to-patient teeth-straightening service.
Compelling reasons to straighten teeth at home
Most patients cannot ignore the sheer pleasure of convenience. Our process requires little in terms of time from the patient, and much of the process can be managed online.
We do ask patients to attend the 3D scan appointment, which can take as little as 30 minutes. If all goes according to plan and the patient is satisfied with the treatment process and quote, there may be no more need for another appointment.
Once we have received the custom-made aligner trays, we will ensure they are dispatched directly to the patient. There is no need to come in again to pick up the aligner trays unless there is a need for a fitting.
The treatment process is monitored digitally through the Clear Braces Direct Monitoring App. Innovative technology allows patients to provide us with regular images of their treatment process so that the supervising dentist can track the movement of teeth remotely. The app offers additional benefits by opening up a direct means of communication and support.
There are plenty more convincing reasons to choose Invisalign as your orthodontic system of choice. These trays are highly discreet; a benefit most welcomed by professional adults. It is most common for patients on orthodontic treatments to not want their teeth-straightening goals advertised to the outside world. This makes the Invisalign system, which is designed around the use of clear thermoplastic material, a good option for image-conscious patients.
Another desirable benefit of Invisalign is the removable feature of the trays. The fact that the trays can, for a limited time, be removed from the mouth removes the difficulties of dietary restrictions that accompany traditional orthodontic treatment plans. Patients can continue to enjoy their favourite foods.
A secondary benefit of being able to remove the trays is how Invisalign simplifies the oral hygiene process; patients can save time from struggling with toothbrushes and floss. When the trays are removed, patients can go ahead and clean their mouths as usual.

How to help Invisalign work for you
When you are an adult who is interested in straightening your smile, you will want to ensure that any treatment that you undertake will be beneficial.
With the use of invisible aligners, it is easy to assume that the control and success of the aligner are completely within the hands of the dentist. However, this is not true, and there are many things that you can do that will ensure your time wearing an invisible aligner is successful.
For years at Clear Braces Direct, we have been helping patients get the straighter smiles that they want using Invisalign London. This clear plastic aligner can slot over your teeth and gently apply pressure, moving them in gradual steps rather than tightening sessions, which is common with a fitted brace.
So, what are some of the things you can do to ensure that Invisalign London works for you? Read on to find out.
Hygiene
This aligner is removable, so it will not have a detrimental impact on your oral hygiene.
However, Invisalign London will require you to take care of your teeth and gums. When you remove the aligner during mealtimes, you will need to clean your teeth before you wear the aligner again to ensure that food debris and bacteria are not pressed against the teeth or gums. You may also need to see a dental hygienist throughout this treatment if you have a history of gum disease or if there is a family history of this disorder.
Diet
It goes without saying that when you undertake any kind of orthodontic treatment, you should minimise your sugar intake as this can increase the chances of secondary conditions occurring. However, as invisible aligners are removable, you will not need to alter your diet as much as you would with a fitted brace.
Smoking
Everybody knows that smoking is bad for your health, and this extends to your teeth and gums. If you are looking to undertake invisible aligners, it may be worth kicking the habit fast. Smoking whilst wearing invisible aligners not only increases your chance of developing gum disease but also heightens the chance of you developing oral cancer. It is also worth noting that if you smoke whilst wearing an aligner, this will dry your mouth out, which can lead to a higher chance of developing tooth decay. A dry mouth has less saliva, which is essential for keeping food debris and sugars off of your teeth to keep them healthy.
Appointments
One of the main reasons why people choose to undertake invisible aligners is because there are fewer appointments with our team. But you will still need to see us every 6 to 8 weeks on average, provided that there are no issues with the ongoing treatment.
Engagement!
This brings us to this point! When you come to Clear Braces Direct to undertake invisible aligners, we will need to see weekly selfies of your smile to ascertain whether or not the aligners are working as predicted. If they aren’t, you may need to come in and see our team for adjustments to be made.
Invisalign; suitability criteria
When it comes to wearing an invisible aligner, you may think that the only thing that will prevent you from being suitable would be the severity of the dental misalignment.
It is true that the severity of the misalignment that you have will impact the choice of orthodontic treatment that may be suitable for you. However, there is a lot more that goes into deciding whether or not an invisible aligner will be the right option for you.
At Clear Braces Direct, our team knows all about the suitability for Invisalign London as this aligner is our speciality. We are always happy to discuss this with our patients and will always be honest about whether or not this aligner is the most suitable one to help you get the smile that you want.
So, what are some of the factors that may impact your suitability for treatment with Invisalign London? Read on to find out.
Good oral health
First and foremost, you need to have good oral health. If you have any active decay or gum disease, then you will not be able to undertake treatment with Invisalign London. This is because it is detrimental to put pressure on teeth that are already cracked or damaged or on gums that may be rejecting the teeth they are supporting. If you have any signs of gum disease or tooth decay, these must be resolved before you undertake any orthodontic treatment.
Age
There is a reason why our team prefers using invisible aligners on adults.
In simple terms, it is because they tend to be more compliant. Many parents have approached our team to ask about their children undertaking invisible aligners rather than braces. But we have found that this is rarely suitable, as children are less likely to keep the aligners in for the required time each day. Invisalign is working on developing a suitable model for child patients, but at the moment, we do not have any options available; our youngest patient group tends to start at the age of around 13 years old.
Non-smoker
It is preferred that those who undertake invisible aligners do not smoke; this is because there is a direct link between smoking and a higher incidence of gum disease and tooth decay. Cigarette smoke dries out the mouth and reduces saliva, which is otherwise beneficial in keeping your teeth free from debris and reducing decay. Similarly, cigarette smoke has been linked to the formation of aggressive gum disease, and as mentioned earlier, this is not good if you want to undertake orthodontic treatment.
Mild to moderate issue
We mentioned this before, but you do need to have a mild to moderate case of dental misalignment to use invisible aligners. If your molar teeth are involved in your misalignment, or if there is excessive spacing, crowding or severe protrusion. then you may be more suitable for a fitted brace.
Willing to participate!
And finally, you have to want to undertake the treatment and engage with the guidelines. These will involve you sending our team weekly selfies of your smile so that we can assess whether there are any issues. You will also need to wear the aligner as prescribed and, of course, ensure that your oral health remains in good condition.
What to factor in when considering the cost of Invisalign
One of the most common questions a patient interested in straightening their teeth with Invisalign is, is this orthodontic system worth the accompanying price tag? Most patients will have to weigh the Invisalign cost London into their decision making.
At Clear Braces Direct, we aim to not only simplify the teeth-straightening process with Invisalign but to make the Invisalign cost London more affordable too so that many more can smile their best smiles.
As there is no one-size-fits-all Invisalign treatment plan for all patients opting for this orthodontic system, the Invisalign cost London will differ from patient to patient taking into consideration their unique set of complexities. In this post, we take a look at the common factors that dictate the cost of an Invisalign treatment plan.
Factors relating to Invisalign cost
The first factor that bears weight to Invisalign cost is the severity or complexity of the patient’s orthodontic problem. It goes without saying that minor orthodontic problems will be less expensive to treat and lead to a lower price tag than more complex problems.
We offer two treatment options at Clear Braces Direct, each targeting a different level of treatment: the Invisalign Lite package offers up to a maximum of 14 aligners and the Invisalign Comprehensive package consists of more than 14 aligners.
Both treatment package plans include 3D iTero Scan at no cost to the patient, free incisal contouring and the Dental Monitoring App. We also include teeth whitening gel for a brighter, straighter smile. Patients will also need to rely on retainers to keep their teeth in their newly-aligned positions once the Invisalign treatment plan is successfully completed, and this may bear additional costs.
How do I pay for my Invisalign treatment plan?
Once patients have approved of their treatment plan and quote, the next worry is how to pay for it. Fortunately, Clear Braces Direct offers a number of payment options to take away the stress of paying for Invisalign treatment.
Patients can settle the quote in full in a single payment or use their dental insurance cover if this is applicable. We also make available a number of payment-plan options:
- Long-term payment plans (more than 36 months) at 0% interest
- Payment plans from 18 to 36 months on the condition of acceptance and interest
- Fixed monthly payments
All major credit card payments are acceptable of course as is Single Pay payment option and Tabeo finance.
Dentists have helped millions of patients successfully achieve a better smile with Invisalign. The technology and innovation used in the development of the removable aligner system offer highly sought after advantages that offset the cost of treatment.
The discreteness of the clear plastic trays, the comfort, the removal of dietary restrictions and the ease of the mouth cleaning process are all too attractive benefits to overlook.
Consider too, that Invisalign treatment from Clear Braces Direct will also mean less time spent in the dental chair. Patients can receive their set of customised trays at home, and with remote tracking of their progress made possible thanks to the digital monitoring app, there is no need for further dental appointments.

Invisalign in Newcastle: Clear Braces Direct has got you covered

At Clear Braces Direct, we understand that finding an appropriate treatment for realigning teeth could pose a number of barriers for people: time, money, motivation – you name it. But, we are here to offer you a convenient and discreet method of realigning your teeth in as little as 4 to 6 months – that’s got to be worth taking action, right? When it comes to getting great care, we are Diamond Apex providers of Invisalign in Newcastle. We reduce the amount of times you will need to come in to see us to save you time and money, and to make life easier for you. We know your time is precious and we have the means to provide personalised treatment, while you spend more time doing the things you really want to do.
What is Invisalign then?
Invisalign in Newcastle is a system that uses plastic aligners that push your teeth into the targeted positions as they are being worn. The plastic is see-through, so only your teeth should be noticed by other people, allowing you to continue with your life, without the need to worry about what others are thinking about your smile. The aligners may also be removed for 2 hours each day, allowing you to consume food and drink normally, as well as brush and floss efficiently. You will just need to change your aligners regularly as directed by us and we will send your new aligners to your home for free! It’s just another way that we aim to keep your life simple.
What are the other advantages of Invisalign?
We will only call you in for a check-up if we think you really need one. Otherwise, we are able to monitor your progress remotely, using our personalised remote monitoring system. The app that we provide you with will also enable you to keep an eye on your progress too, which should be a motivational aspect of your treatment. What’s more, we will find out what the shape and size of your mouth is for your aligners to be made bespoke for you and, using iTero technology, we will also be able to create a 3D animation of how your teeth will look after treatment, before it has commenced, which should be highly motivating for you knowing how great your teeth are going to look. Invisalign in Newcastle can also improve your speech if you have developed speech issues due to your misaligned teeth, as well as reduce any jaw pain you may have. By realigning your teeth, you may also find that you can chew more easily and that you can brush and floss your teeth more efficiently afterwards.

Differences between Invisalign and braces; FAQs answered
Are you eager to get straighter teeth as an adult, but don’t know which orthodontic tool you may need?
There are many types available, from fitted braces all the way to invisible aligners. And which one is more suitable to correct your case can only be decided by a team with expertise in orthodontic care.
At Clear Braces Direct, we specialise in orthodontics, especially the use of Invisalign London. So, if you want a straighter smile using a discreet tool, call us!
Curious to learn how Invisalign London differs from a standard brace? Read on to learn more!
Which is more comfortable?
Wearing a fitted brace is associated with discomfort by many, primarily because it is linked to the brace being tightened or adjusted, which places pressure on the teeth and the jaw. However, while wearing Invisalign London, you may also experience some discomfort as the aligners move your teeth. But, as there are no adjustments needed with invisible aligners, many patients find them more manageable.
Which option takes longer?
Usually fitted braces take longer; this is because the issues that a brace can treat are more complicated than those associated with aligners. So, the treatment takes longer.
On average, treatment with a brace takes around 36 months, whereas an aligner can straighten your smile on average in around 3 to 6. If you would like a more specific breakdown of treatment times, please contact our team for an assessment.
Do aligners need as much maintenance?
Aligners do not generally need as much maintenance as a fitted brace, but you do still have to look after them!
For instance, in order to maintain a good level of oral hygiene, you will need to wash the aligners at least twice a day; this can be done by rinsing them under a cold tap. To keep them safe, you will need to carry them in the carry case provided; this will prevent them from becoming damaged or stained. So, generally speaking, no, aligners do not need much maintenance.
Which is easier to eat with?
Many people associate difficulty eating with a fixed brace.
You have to avoid certain foods, and if you don’t, they may get stuck behind the archwires and around the brackets. So, if you have a fitted brace, you need to brush your teeth after each meal. This is largely the same with aligners. You can take them out to eat but, in order to maintain a good level of oral hygiene, you will need to brush your teeth before you wear your aligners again.
But, when comparing the two, many patients find aligners easier to eat with as the choices of food are not limited.
Which is more affordable?
Many patients are surprised to learn that when standard fitted braces are compared to invisible aligners, the aligners are often more affordable.
There are a few reasons for this. For one, when you wear a fitted brace, you have to attend orthodontic appointments to have them tightened or adjusted. This adds to the cost of the brace. You are also more likely to be wearing a brace for longer than an aligner which also adds to the cost. So, while you may think an aligner is going to be more expensive, it is not usually the case.
How does straight teeth at home with Invisalign work?
Now there is a simple and straightforward way to get straight teeth at home London with the world’s most popular teeth-straightening system – Invisalign.
At Clear Braces Direct, we know the importance of a great smile and the role that aligned teeth play in achieving them. Often, traditional orthodontic systems require numerous trips to the dental clinic for manual adjustments, which can eat into already time-constrained schedules.
This is why we aim to make the teeth-straightening process simpler for busy professionals who can’t take the time out of their workdays to attend dental appointments. We are a proud direct-to-patient Invisalign provider.
Our straight teeth at home London service concentrates on helping patients realise their dream smiles in a process that offers time-saving convenience. For patients wishing to know more about how this process works, we provide a brief overview below.
3 easy steps to straight teeth at home London with Invisalign
The first step to an aligned smile with Invisalign is to have an Invisalign scan carried out. Before we can book an Invisalign scan, which is offered at no charge to the patient, we ask that patients upload selfies depicting their smiles.
The use of technologically-advanced and innovative 3D dental scanners means that we do not have to rely on making moulds, which can be a dreaded part of the traditional orthodontic process.
Also offered free is an in-house consultation with one of our highly experienced Invisalign-trained dental practitioners. Patients often overlook the importance of the consultation appointment, but this is a golden opportunity for patients to have all their questions and concerns addressed by a reliable industry professional.
The patient will be provided with the results of the scan as well as a customised video of how the treatment plan will unfold with a week-by-week review of how teeth will be moved into the desired positions. The technology used in the 3D digital scanning process can accurately predict how long the treatment plan will take to produce the desired result.
Once the Invisalign scan has been completed successfully and the patient is satisfied with the quote, an online consent form and a payment link will be dispatched. Once we have received the completed form and payment, we will put through an order for a series of aligner trays specifically made according to the patient’s dimensions. These will either be sent to the patient’s home or, if they so choose, fitted onto their teeth at our clinic. The Invisalign smile journey then begins!
The patient’s strict adherence to all compliance guidelines is of the utmost importance if their treatment plan is to progress without any hitches. We use the Clear Braces Direct Monitoring app to closely monitor the patient’s treatment progress and offer a platform for direct communication between the patient and our team. As the at-home system differs from traditional orthodontic processes, patients may find our support invaluable.
Choose to smile with confidence with Invisalign, available from Clear Braces Direct. Should you have more specific questions about your suitability for Invisalign or the process involved, please reach out to us, and we will gladly answer your questions.
Is this the answer to your prayers? Invisalign in Newcastle!
If you are looking for a discreet method of realigning mild to moderate alignment issues such as a crossbite, under or overbite, or crowded or gapped teeth, then you could be forgiven for fancying something that other people won’t realise is in your mouth, especially if you need to go to school or head to the office for an important meeting. With Invisalign in Newcastle, other people shouldn’t realise that you have anything in your mouth and, if they catch a glimpse of something, they won’t realise what it is, but you can bet they will recognise the great results when your smile is ready to shine! At Clear Braces Direct, we are Diamond Apex Invisalign providers, which sets us apart from many other dental practices offering this treatment. We have successfully treated over 6800 patients and it is through doing so that we have gained the experience we need to deliver the diamond level of care that we do. All of our team is highly qualified and keen to deliver personalised, bespoke treatment that is convenient and cost-effective for you.
How does Invisalign work?
You may think that you haven’t seen Invisalign in action, but this is probably because the aligners that are worn in people’s mouths, over their teeth, are discreet. When the plastic aligners are worn, the material is transparent and so only the teeth should be visible. Each set of aligners applies an amount of pressure to the teeth to gradually move them into the position we need them to go to for your smile to look wonderful. Your aligners will be sent to your home for free, saving you time and money as you won’t have to come to us to collect them. By realigning your teeth, you are not only improving the aesthetic appearance of them, but you could also be improving your speech, reducing jaw pain and improving your chewing action, as well as making it easier to brush and floss stringently, improving your oral hygiene routine.
What are the other benefits of Invisalign?
Aside from the fact that you can have Invisalign in Newcastle to improve the appearance of your smile in a discreet way, and that this can have a positive impact on your speech and other health issues, Invisalign also gets results in as little as 4 to 6 months, depending on your individual needs. Furthermore, you may also remove the aligners for up to 2 hours a day, which will allow you to continue eating and drinking as normal. You will also be able to brush and floss properly, and you can take them out when you want to play sports or hang out with friends for a while – the choice is yours. Invisalign is a super way to get a super smile and to feel like a super new you when the results are in. You will also be able to visualise what the results will be, because we use iTero technology to scan your mouth and to get the measurements to have your aligners made bespoke for you, making them more comfortable to wear. Once we have this, we can also generate a 3D animation to show you what your teeth will look like after treatment has been completed.
