So, without further ado, let’s dive into those burning questions that you may have about Invisalign cost London and other areas of this treatment.

How much will it cost?

Invisalign cost London will vary based on the severity of the misalignment being treated, how long you need to wear the aligners, whether any additional aligners are required due to damage and, of course, how well you adhere to the treatment schedule. However, you may be surprised at how affordable this treatment is, especially when compared to traditional fitted braces. Our team can also offer financing options if you have concerns about paying for the aligners too.

I’m a busy person; will I need to visit the surgery?

You will need to visit our surgery initially for our team to assess the severity of the misalignment that you have and check whether you have any tooth decay or gum disease, which can otherwise put a pause on the process altogether. However, after this, trips to our surgery will be minimal, and you can keep our team updated through the app or over the phone.

What should I do if an aligner breaks?

If an aligner breaks, you will need to contact our team to have a replacement sent out, and you need to wear the previous aligner in the series until the new one arrives. Do not jump ahead to the next aligner in the series, as this can worsen the misalignment or throw the entire process off course.

How do I manage the discomfort?

The discomfort you feel while wearing invisible aligners should be manageable with over-the-counter medication, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. However, if you notice excessive levels of discomfort when wearing the aligners or taking them out, please feel free to contact our team for an assessment.

Can I drink coffee with the aligners in?

We know how much people need coffee, especially when they work long hours! But unfortunately, the answer is no, you cannot drink coffee whilst wearing the aligners. The only drink you can consume whilst having the aligners in your mouth is cold water. For any other beverages, you will need to take the aligners out and brush your teeth before putting them back in to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
