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. Our prices are 60% lower than the average UK clinic, and we offer 0% APR and interest-bearing finance options. Subject to age, status and affordability. Minimum spend applies.
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% APR financing plans for up to 12 months and interest-bearing options up to 60 months. Subject to age, status and affordability. Minimum spend applies.
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.

Very beautiful clinic and the staff were all very friendly and professional. A lot of time and effort was put into my consultation. They wanted to do the best they could for me to keep my teeth with a smile makeover rather than all implants. I would highly recommend this clinic for their honesty and professionalism. They really do care about their patients.

After a lot of research and disappointing overpriced quotes, I ended up at Dental by Design clinic, and immediately felt like home. I met with Dr. Yasser and drive me through the all process paying attention to my complicated health conditions and risks of potential failure. After the consultation, I met lovely Livy and arranged the financial and appointment details for the surgery. I decided to have cautious sedation and honesty time of operation pass so quickly , and never felt a thing. I didn't have any pain or significant swelling post-surgery, exactly as Dr. Yasser promised me. Now I have a diamond smile and the most natural result I ever seen before. I can't recommend less Dental by Design clinic with the amazing staff, and the superstar specialist Dr. Yasser that I honestly consider as a friend after all. Special thanks to Mr. Ledio for his precious assistance during my appointments , by being Dr. Yasser's right hand. A million thanks and my forever appreciation for bringing happiness into my life again.

Best dental practice in the world. From the outset total honesty great pricing and the warmest welcome ever. All information given well in advance and surgey advice aftercare excellent. Do not hesitate to contact them for a full examination where you get to see your own scans for an honest proffesional conversation about your dental needs. They are in the profession as they care about their paitents not how much they charge. The reception staff and practice manager are stars.
