Common Questions & Answers

Find detailed answers to frequently asked questions about Invisalign clear aligner treatments and services

Invisalign Treatment

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on your specific case. Invisalign Express takes 3-4 months, Invisalign Lite takes 6-7 months, and Invisalign Comprehensive typically takes 12-18 months for complex cases.

Am I a candidate for Invisalign?

Most adults and teens with mild to moderate orthodontic issues are candidates for Invisalign. We evaluate your teeth alignment, bite, and dental health during your free consultation to determine the best treatment option.

How do Invisalign clear aligners work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. You wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series.

Pricing & Finance

How much does Invisalign cost?

Invisalign Express starts from £3,850, Invisalign Lite from £4,350, and Invisalign Comprehensive from £4,600. We are 60% more affordable than average UK clinics and offer 0% finance options.

Do you accept insurance for Invisalign?

We work with most major insurance providers. Our team will help verify your coverage and maximize your benefits for orthodontic treatment.

What financing options are available?

We offer 0% interest financing plans for up to 12 months and flexible payment options up to 60 months to make Invisalign treatment affordable for everyone.

Treatment Process

What happens during the consultation?

Your free consultation includes a comprehensive examination, 3D digital scan of your teeth, personalized treatment planning, and detailed cost breakdown. We'll show you a preview of your expected results.

How often do I need appointments?

Typically, you'll visit us every 6-8 weeks for progress checks and to receive your next sets of aligners. These appointments are quick, usually taking 15-20 minutes.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Most patients experience minimal impact on speech. Any slight lisp typically disappears within a few days as you adjust to wearing the aligners.

Daily Wear & Care

How many hours per day do I wear aligners?

You should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing your teeth.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap or the Invisalign cleaning system. Avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic. Rinse thoroughly before wearing.

What foods can I eat with Invisalign?

You can eat anything you want! Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything except water. This is one of the major advantages over traditional braces.

I had my dental implant consultation today and I was really impressed with the whole experience. I was feeling quite nervous beforehand, but the team were friendly, professional and made me feel completely at ease. Everything was explained clearly, including the implant treatment, the different options available and what I could expect throughout the process. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision, which I really appreciated. The dentist took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions, which gave me much more confidence about going ahead with the treatment. So far, I’m extremely happy with my experience and I’m looking forward to continuing my implant journey with them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering dental implants.

I spent quite awhile looking around doing research and even had a few consultations. As I was looking for teeth implants. Then i found Dental By Design. I have always been worried about my teeth as they were not very good. The moment i met Dr Yasser, what a lovely man friendly and most of all very welcoming so much so that i felt we were friends from day one. He is the first dentist that I have ever looked forward to seeing The whole experience was even better than I expected. As someone who has always been afraid of visiting the dentist, Dr Yasser, and his nurse Ms Adrianna immediately made me feel at ease. The professional care and attention I received from them exceptional. The smile that Dr Yasser gave me has genuinely changed my life, and I cannot thank him enough for his skill, kindness, and dedication. I am so grateful for the outstanding treatment and support I received throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr Yasser

Response from Dental By Design

Thank you for such a heartfelt review, Ernie! Hearing that you went from being afraid of the dentist to looking forward to your visits is a wonderful compliment. Dr Yasser and Adrianna will be so touched by your words. We’re delighted your new smile has made such a difference to your life. Thank you for placing your trust in us and for your lovely recommendation! 😊

I used dental by design for 2 implants, as well as a root canal and several crowns, the exceptional doctor Yasser doing the work. I can honestly say this is the best dental experience i’ve had from start to finish, lovely staff at the front desk who have been accommodating when i’ve had to reschedule, Dr Yasser making me feel comfortable and doing an absolutely amazing job with the work, as well as being a stand up guy - i would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone

Response from Dental By Design

Thank you, Oliver! Hearing that this has been your best dental experience means so much to us. Dr Yasser will be delighted with your kind words, and we’ll make sure our reception team hear them too. We’re so pleased you felt comfortable throughout and are happy with the results. Thank you for recommending us! 😊
