Why Patients Choose Clear Aligners
Discreet
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, so few people will even notice you're straightening your teeth.
Removable
Take them out to eat, drink and clean your teeth as normal — no dietary restrictions or awkward brushing routines.
Comfortable
Smooth plastic aligners with no metal or wires, meaning less irritation and fewer emergency adjustment visits.
Which aligner system is right for you?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all clear aligner — SMILEWELL offers a choice of systems, each suited to different lifestyles, budgets and treatment needs. At your free consultation, your dentist will talk you through the options and recommend the best fit for your smile.
Invisalign® at SMILEWELL
Invisalign is one of the most established and widely used clear aligner systems, and it's a popular choice among SMILEWELL patients. Every package includes an iTero® 3D scan, your personalised Invisalign ClinCheck® treatment plan and Vivera® retainers to protect your results once treatment is complete.

Clear Aligner FAQs
How does clear aligner treatment work?
A series of clear, custom-made aligners gradually move your teeth into position. You'll typically move on to the next set in the series roughly once a week, with your SMILEWELL dentist monitoring progress throughout.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on your treatment plan and the aligner system used — most Invisalign patients complete treatment within 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will give you a personalised estimate at your consultation.
Are clear aligners uncomfortable?
Aligners are made from smooth plastic, so they're generally more comfortable than traditional braces, with less risk of mouth abrasions and no metal or wires to adjust.
Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?
Most aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink what you like. We recommend taking them out for meals and cleaning your teeth before putting them back in.
How often will I need to visit the dentist?
You'll have regular reviews with your SMILEWELL dentist — typically every 6 to 8 weeks — to check your progress and make any adjustments to your plan.
