HOW MUCH DOES INVISALIGN IN COLCHESTER COST?
When thinking about the cost of Invisalign, it’s more than just the price. It’s about the value of the entire treatment. Choosing Invisalign means investing in your smile and confidence. You’re not only paying for the clear aligners but also for the care and support from our trained Invisalign dentists. These experts will craft a personalised plan just for you and your goals. They will guide you through each step to help you get the smile you want. Invisalign is an investment that can boost your self-esteem and shape your future smile.
HOW LONG DOES INVISALIGN TAKE TO STRAIGHTEN MY TEETH?
Here at Brightlingsea Dental & Facial Aesthetics Clinic, we will create a personalised, digital plan that shows how your teeth should move. Based on this plan, your clear aligners are made to apply the right force at the right time. They are designed to work smoothly with your treatment steps. Throughout your journey, your doctor will check your progress to make sure your aligners fit well and are working correctly.
CAN I TAKE MY ALIGNERS OFF WHENEVER I NEED TO?
You are allowed to remove your Invisalign aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. You can also take them off for special events like weddings, job interviews, or while playing sports or musical instruments. Your doctor will advise you on how long to wear them each day, but most people wear their aligners about 20 to 22 hours daily to achieve the best results.
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT I CAN EAT WHILE IN TREATMENT?
Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so you can eat anything you want—no restrictions. That means no more avoiding popcorn or sticky foods. Traditional braces, on the other hand, come with a long list of foods to stay away from. Hard, crunchy, or sticky foods can damage the wires or get stuck in the brackets, making them harder to clean. Invisalign lets you enjoy your favourite snacks without worry.
DO I NEED TO WEAR MY RETAINER AFTER TREATMENT?
Most dentists suggest that anyone who finishes orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or Invisalign®, should wear a retainer. Retainers help keep teeth from drifting back to their old positions. Each person’s needs are different, so check with your dentist to see if you need a retainer.

Meet with your dentist
Your dentist will use a high-tech intraoral scanner to quickly create a detailed 3D picture of your current smile. This scan helps craft a personalised treatment plan for your new smile. You’ll know what to expect at each step of the process. Plus, you’ll get a preview of what your new smile could look like.
Begin the transformation
When you receive your first set of Invisalign clear aligners, your dentist will check to ensure they fit well and feel comfortable. Regular, in-person check-ups will be scheduled so your dentist can give you the next set of aligners and track your progress. As your teeth shift during treatment, you’ll change your aligners frequently to keep the process moving.
Look after your new smile
After finishing your Invisalign treatment, you must wear a retainer to keep your teeth in place. This step is similar to other teeth straightening methods, like braces. Your dentist will likely give you custom-made Vivera™ retainers, made with the same technology as your aligners. Or, they might suggest a different brand of retainer. No matter what, wearing a retainer is key to maintaining your smile.
Our team have transformed the smiles of many patients. We straighten your teeth using the world renowned Invisalign clear aligner system. This is the most predictable, clear aligner system in the world.
We scan your teeth using the latest 3D intraoral scanner, which then allows us to accurately design your new smile. We use Clinchek® which is Invisaligns own 3D animated treatment plan that is created following your full consultation.
A ClinCheck is like a sneak peek into your Invisalign journey. It’s a digital simulation that shows how your teeth will gradually move into place throughout your treatment. It’s a helpful tool that lets you and your dentist see the expected progress and the final outcome of your smile transformation before you even begin wearing aligners.
