Invisalign® treatment process in London
How does Invisalign® work?
Invisalign® works by using a series of clear removable aligners to gently move your teeth into the desired position. It is a gradual process that will take several months and in some, more complex cases the treatment can take a couple of years.
Once you have completed your Invisalign treatment with Bishopsgate Dental Care, you will be given 18 months free aftercare to give you added peace of mind.
To make sure your teeth remain where we want them to be, you will need to continue using your Invisalign retainers after your scheduled treatment to keep your teeth in place. We will advise you when you come in for your consultation and answer any questions you may have.
* Invisalign® treatments come with 18 months free aftercare — conditions apply.
Our step by step Invisalign® process guide
1. Initial Consultation
2. Invisalign Records appointment will include:
- iTero digital 3D scan which creates a 3D model of your teeth
- Digital "before" treatment photos
- Panoramic x-ray
- Bespoke treatment plan outlining treatment costs
3. Invisalign Clincheck
4. Invisalign Fit
5. Invisalign Attachments/IPR
We may need to place some small white pressure points on your teeth (attachments) to help with tooth movements which we will remove at the end of treatment. In some Invisalign cases, we would also need to carry out some minor inter-proximal re-contouring or slenderising to create space to allow tooth movement to occur.

“Had Invisalign treatment and good service throughout treatment and was happy with the results. Always a friendly team with good service — a special thank you to Jen as I had a problem with my fixed retainer placed in by someone else and she made a correction for free which was much appreciated whilst applying my new one. No complaints!”
– Sarah Scrutton –

Dr Gina Vega, Our Invisalign Expert
Our highly-experienced Principal Dentist, Dr Gina Vega (GDC No: 83137), has been treating patients for 25 years. She is a certified Invisalign® Diamond Practitioner having personally treated over 1,000 Invisalign patients.
Gina has achieved Diamond status by treating between 175-200 Invisalign patients within the last 12 months, and she quotes this advice about Invisalign:
“When I took over Bishopsgate Dental Care, I had a clear vision of what kind of dentistry I wanted to provide my patients. I believe in prevention, and I try to be as conservative as possible. This is the reason I believe so strongly about Invisalign. With Invisalign you are using what you have, your own teeth but in a better, more beautiful position!
Invisalign is for everybody — from teenagers to young professionals trying to get ahead in their career, to people in their 50s and older.”
