Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of practically undetectable, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for a new set. Each aligner is individually made to fit you perfectly ensuring maximum comfort. It’s the perfect orthodontic choice for modern life.
- We develop a computer model of your treatment.
- Invisalign® make a series of custom-made aligners. Each clear aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position. You wear each aligner for two weeks, before moving on to the next in the series.
- Treatment length will vary depending on your case, but the average treatment time will be nine to fifteen months.
- At Bow Dental & Implants in Bow London, near Farnham, Hampshire, we’ll see you for a progress review every 4 to 6 weeks during which you receive your new aligners. If you prefer, you can arrange for an Invisalign video consultation from one of our specialist Invisalign dentists and we can deliver your braces by post. Each aligner will move your teeth little by little, week by week, until they reach the desired position.

Step 1
We will take you through the Case Assessment, which is a simple set of photos to determine whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment.
-
Step 2
We’ll give you a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks (as directed by your Dentist). You can comfortably wear your aligners for 22 hours a day (the recommended daily wear). And because they’re removable, it’s easy to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your usual diet.

Step 3
We’ll invite you back to the practice around every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and hand over your new aligners. You can also arrange a virtual Invisalign consultation from the comfort of your own home. At the end of your treatment, you will need to wear your retainers to maintain your new smile.
As a Platinum Invisalign Provider in Bow London, near Farnham, Hampshire, our team at Bow Dental & Implants is the ideal dental clinic to advise on Invisalign suitability. Here’s a guide to how Invisalign straightens teeth in a variety of dental problems.
- Crossbite: When one or more teeth from the upper jaw, bite on the interior of the lower set of teeth, it’s referred to as a crossbite. This happens when both upper and lower jaws are misaligned. It can cause degradation of teeth, loss of bone and gum disease.
- Crowded teeth: Crowding of teeth occurs when there is not enough room in the upper and lower jaws to fit all your growing teeth. As a result, the teeth get crowded and when left untreated become severely misaligned or crooked. It’s hard to effectively clean misaligned teeth so problems of plaque, gum disease and tooth decay are common with crowded teeth.
- Overbite or Deep Bite: This happens when the upper jaw abnormally covers the lower jaw. An overbite can give rise to gum problems, wearing of teeth on lower jaw and joint problems.
- Gapped teeth: Gaps in between teeth can occur due to abnormal jawbone growth or when, due to lack of teeth, neighbouring teeth shift from their respective positions into the extra space. Gapped teeth can give rise to gum problems and periodontal disease.
- Open bite: An open bite occurs when some teeth on the upper and lower jaws are unable to meet each other. Genetics, poor chewing habits and excessive sucking on thumbs can cause an open bite.
- Underbite: Insufficient growth of the upper jaw or missing upper teeth can cause the lower jaw to protrude and give rise to what’s known as an underbite. This hinders the normal functioning of the front teeth and can cause pain in the jaw.
