Invisalign Hampstead
Straightening your teeth has never been more comfortable or discreet. With Invisalign, you can improve your smile without the need for metal brackets or wires. Straighter teeth not only improve your appearance but also make daily cleaning easier and improve your bite.
At Rosslyn Hill Dental Clinic, we offer Invisalign to adults and teenagers looking for a clear, removable alternative to fixed braces, often with faster results than you might expect.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth gradually. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your mouth and is designed to move your teeth little by little until they reach their ideal position.
Unlike traditional metal braces, there are no brackets or wires involved. The aligners are made from a smooth, transparent plastic material that is comfortable to wear and almost invisible when in place. Most people will not even notice you are having treatment.
You will wear each set of aligners for around one to two weeks before switching to the next in the series. They should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day and only removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing.
Invisalign can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps, bite issues and relapse after previous braces. It is suitable for both adults and teenagers who want a straighter smile without the hassle of fixed braces.
What Can Invisalign Help With?
At Rosslyn Hill Dental Clinic, we use Invisalign to treat:
Crowded teeth – Gently shifts overlapping or misaligned teeth into better alignment
Gaps between teeth – Closes spacing by gradually bringing teeth closer together
Rotated teeth – Moves twisted or turned teeth into the correct position
Overbite – Helps bring the upper teeth back to reduce excessive overlap
Underbite – Can move lower teeth back to improve bite and appearance
Crossbite – Aligns upper and lower teeth correctly to prevent uneven wear
Open bite – Encourages front teeth to meet properly when biting
Relapse after braces – A subtle way to re-align teeth that have moved out of place
We will assess your bite and tooth development during your consultation and let you know if Invisalign is the right option.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign offers more than just straighter teeth. It provides a comfortable, discreet and flexible way to improve your smile without the inconvenience of metal braces. For many patients at Rosslyn Hill Dental Clinic, Invisalign is the ideal solution for fitting orthodontic treatment around a busy lifestyle.
Here are the main benefits of Invisalign:
Clear and Discreet
The aligners are made from a clear plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth, making them almost invisible when worn. Most people will not notice you are having treatment, even in close-up photos or face-to-face conversations.
This is a major reason why Invisalign is so popular with adults and teens who want straighter teeth without drawing attention.
Comfortable to Wear
Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-made to fit your teeth precisely. There are no brackets or wires to rub against your gums or cause discomfort, and each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to move your teeth gradually.
You may feel slight tightness with each new set, but this typically settles within a day or two.
Removable for Eating and Cleaning
Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed whenever you eat, drink anything other than water, brush or floss. This means:
- No food restrictions
- Easier to maintain good oral hygiene
- No awkward brushing around brackets and wires
It also means you can remove the aligners for important events, presentations or photos if needed.
Fewer Appointments
Because there are no wires to adjust or brackets to repair, Invisalign requires fewer in-practice visits than traditional braces. Most patients only need a quick check-in every 4 to 8 weeks to collect their next sets of aligners and monitor progress.
This makes it especially convenient for those with busy schedules or who live or work around Hampstead.
Predictable Results
Invisalign treatment is planned digitally from start to finish using 3D imaging technology. You will be able to see a preview of your expected results before starting, so you know exactly what to expect.
The software also helps guide each step of the process with precision, reducing the chance of surprises or delays.
Better Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, helping to reduce the risk of decay, gum disease and plaque build-up. Invisalign not only improves your appearance, but also supports long-term oral health.
Confidence
Perhaps the most important benefit is how Invisalign can change the way you feel about your smile. Many patients report smiling more often, feeling more confident in social and professional settings, and enjoying better self-esteem after treatment.
Your Invisalign Journey at Rosslyn Hill Dental Clinic
1. Initial Consultation & Digital Scanning with iTero Technology
We begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and discussion of your smile goals. This is where we determine if Invisalign is right for you and address any questions or concerns.
We use the advanced iTero scanner to take a fast, comfortable digital scan of your teeth. The digital scan captures thousands of images in minutes, producing a detailed 3D model of your mouth with no discomfort.
The scanner gives us a clear, precise view of every tooth, allowing us to track changes, plan your Invisalign treatment accurately and show you a visual preview of your potential results before you begin your Invisalign treatment.
2. Personalised Treatment Planning – ClinCheck Stimulation
Once your scan is complete, we use it to create a step-by-step plan for your treatment. You’ll be able to see a virtual preview of how your teeth are expected to move and what your smile could look like by the end. It’s a great way to understand the process and feel confident before getting started.
3. Custom Aligners & Invisalign Treatment Journey
Once your treatment plan is approved, your custom aligners are made to fit your teeth precisely.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for 1 week, typically for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and oral hygiene.
4. Progress Reviews
You will visit us every 4 to 8 weeks so we can check your progress, give you your next sets of aligners and make any small adjustments if needed.
5. Final Results
Invisalign treatment usually takes between 6 and 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case.

If you would like to improve your smile further, we can also discuss options like teeth whitening or composite bonding
Invisalign Aftercare and Retainers
