A series of clear, removable aligners, each made for you from a 3D scan and planned personally by Dr Louise Gidda, your local Invisalign expert for Wythall, Solihull and Birmingham. Discreet, comfortable, and designed around the smile you would love.
Clinically reviewed by Dr Louise Gidda BDS MFGDP RCS (Eng)GDC No. 78061October 2026
Align Technology, the makers of Invisalign, reports over 22 million patients treated worldwide to date (invisalign.co.uk, checked October 2026).
Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a sequence of thin, transparent aligners made from a patented material called SmartTrack. Each one moves your teeth a fraction further than the last. You wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day, take them out to eat and brush, and change to the next in the series every one to two weeks.
Clear and custom-fitted. At normal speaking distance they are very hard to spot.
Eat what you like, brush and floss normally, and take them out for a photograph or a special occasion.
Smooth edges and no wires or brackets, so less rubbing on the lips and cheeks than fixed braces, and no emergency visits for a broken bracket.
Your treatment is planned digitally before you start, so you can see a preview of the proposed tooth movements. The preview illustrates a possible outcome; it is not a guarantee.
Invisalign can treat many common alignment and bite concerns, from a slightly crooked front tooth to more complex bite correction, although fixed braces or a specialist orthodontist may be better for some cases. Louise will tell you plainly at your consultation whether it is the right choice for you.

Aligners sold by post are planned from photographs or impressions you take yourself, often reviewed by someone you never meet. Here is what Invisalign with Dr Louise Gidda, a GDC-registered dentist who examines and sees you herself, includes that they typically do not.

The package depends on how far your teeth need to move and how many aligners that takes. Everything else is the same: the same clinician, the same technology and the same core inclusions. Express is the one exception, as it does not include refinement aligners.
Very mild movement, or a small relapse after earlier braces
Up to 7 aligners · typically 3 to 4 months
Minor crowding or spacing, usually the front teeth
Up to 14 aligners · typically 6 to 7 months
Moderate crowding or spacing across both arches
Up to 20 aligners · typically 9 to 12 months
Moderate to complex cases needing the most movement
Unlimited aligners · typically 12 to 18 months

The latest iTero intraoral scanner: a compact wand that builds a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes. No putty, no gagging, and a simulation of your finished smile at the same appointment.
Weekly scans from your phone are reviewed by Louise, who can tell you to move to the next aligner, hold for a few days, or come in. Fewer appointments and closer supervision at the same time.
Made by Align Technology, the makers of Invisalign, from a stronger, more durable material than the aligners, and you receive two sets, two for each arch, so there is always a spare. Worn as advised, usually at night, they help keep your teeth where treatment moved them.
Records, refinements, whitening, retainers and aftercare are all part of your package, so nothing is added along the way.
A relaxed conversation with Louise about what you would love to change, and anything that worries you. Louise looks at your teeth, gums and bite, and tells you honestly whether Invisalign is right for you.
A quick, comfortable iTero digital scan replaces messy impressions. Within minutes you can see a 3D preview of how your smile could look.
Louise maps every movement in ClinCheck, tooth by tooth, refining the plan until it suits your face and your smile. You see the plan, ask questions and approve it.
Louise fits your first aligners and places any small tooth-coloured attachments that help them grip. You leave knowing exactly how to wear and care for them.
Treatment fits around your life. You change to a new aligner every one to two weeks, scan your progress at home, and see Louise for regular check-ups.
Any final refinements are included. Attachments are polished away, professional whitening brightens your new smile, and Vivera retainers keep it beautifully in place.
