If you have always wanted to straighten your smile but have been put off by the thought of metal braces, this blog is for you! At SMILEWELL Dentistry & Implants in Hertfordshire, we’ve given our patients the straighter smiles they deserve with the innovative Invisalign clear aligner system.

What Sets Invisalign Apart?
Instead of clunky metal braces, Invisalign offers custom-made, clear aligners that gently move the teeth into place. Here’s why SMILEWELL patients love our Invisalign treatment:
- The aligners are virtually invisible, so most won’t even notice you’re wearing them!
- Invisalign aligners fit snugly and are made from smooth plastic, making them super comfortable. No wires to poke your cheeks or gums!
- They are easy to remove. You can pop them out to eat, drink or brush your teeth. This means no food restrictions!
- Many Invisalign treatments finish within 12-18 months, so the results are quick compared to traditional orthodontic treatments.

How does Invisalign work?
- Your Invisalign journey at SMILEWELL, Borehamwood, begins at your FREE consultation. We will take a 3D digital scan of your teeth and create a personalised plan that shows you, on-screen, how your teeth will gradually shift. Yep, that’s right – you can preview your straight smile before starting treatment!
- You’ll then receive a series of slightly different aligners, which you’ll wear for about 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next one.
- For optimal results, we recommend wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours daily. Of course, you can take them out to eat, brush and floss, but the more you wear them, the faster you’ll see results!
- We’ll see you for a check-up every 6-8 weeks to check your progress – this is far fewer appointments than if you had metal braces that require tightening!
