Are you thinking about straightening your teeth, but dread the thought of traditional fixed metal braces? You’re not alone. Thankfully, with Invisalign - a fantastic modern dental innovation that gently moves your teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners - you no longer have to compromise on comfort or confidence to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Invisalign treatment offers a convenient, and comfortable approach to teeth straightening. At Foxley Lane Dental in Purley, we’re proud to be recognised as Diamond Apex Invisalign providers, one of the few practices across Europe to hold this prestigious status. This means we offer expert-level Invisalign treatment to our patients in the Croydon area, helping you straighten your teeth without the use of wires.
Let’s take a closer look at how Invisalign works, the benefits it offers, and why Invisalign might be the perfect choice to help you achieve the straight, confident smile you’ve always hoped for.
Invisalign is a leading-edge clear aligner treatment designed to gradually straighten your teeth and correct bite issues, using a series of virtually invisible, custom-made clear aligners. Unlike traditional braces or metal braces, Invisalign uses no large metal brackets or fixed wires - just smooth, clear trays that fit snugly over your teeth. These are sometimes paired with tiny, tooth-coloured attachments that act as anchor points to guide precise tooth movements.
Made from a transparent, specially engineered BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are crafted to deliver more predictable tooth movements while providing optimal patient comfort. As they can be removed, they’re perfect for people with busy lifestyles who want discreet, effective cosmetic orthodontic treatment.
Upon commencing treatment, as part of your custom Invisalign treatment plan, you’ll progress through a series of clear Invisalign aligners - each tray precisely designed to gradually straighten your teeth and guide predictable tooth movements to achieve your ideal smile.
At Foxley Lane Dental, our trained Invisalign dentists use Invisalign aligners to treat a variety of dental issues, including:
Whether you’re dealing with moderate bite issues (moderate malocclusion) or simply want to enhance your smile, we’ll create a custom treatment plan to help you get results you’ll love.
Designed to be virtually invisible and lifestyle friendly, Invisalign is a popular option for both adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the more noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
Wondering how Invisalign treatment works? Here’s what your Invisalign journey at our Purley dental clinic typically looks like:
We are proud to offer FREE consultations for Invisalign treatment. During your first appointment, our highly trained Invisalign dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and take precise digital scans or impressions to ensure all your data is on file, and to determine if you're a good candidate for treatment based on your unique requirements.
Using advanced 3D imaging and treatment planning software, we’ll map out every movement your teeth will make and show you a preview of your new smile before treatment begins. This customised treatment plan includes predictions of treatment length and how many clear aligners you'll need to achieve your goals.
Because of this, we can start planning your treatment on the same day as your consultation!
Your clear aligners will be custom-crafted by Align Technology, the company behind the Invisalign system. Manufacturing aligners usually takes around 2 weeks.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, as directed by your cosmetic dental expert. These removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth are designed to fit seamlessly into your life — take them out to eat, brush, floss... or attend special events! You'll need to wear them for around 22 hours a day to ensure the treatment plan progresses as expected.
The use of orthodontic 'chewies' is often recommended to ensure full contact between your teeth and the aligners - these are small, soft 'cushions' that you chew upon, to help seat the trays properly. Some patients also choose ultrasonic cleaners to keep their trays spotless, but you can simply brush them with a clean toothbrush and water.
As you move through your aligners, your smile will transform step by step. Many patients report they are hardly aware of their aligners after a few weeks. Periodic check-ins with your Invisalign-trained doctor ensures your treatment plan stays on track and achieves the desired results.
After treatment, you’ll receive a retainer keep your teeth in place and protect your investment in your beautiful new smile.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign aligners is how discreet and comfortable they are. Unlike conventional fixed appliances or metal braces, Invisalign trays are clear, smooth, and removable — no wires, no metal brackets, and no restrictions on your diet!
Many patients also report that Invisalign aligners offer a faster, more convenient experience. And because the aligners are custom-fit to your unique teeth, designed for more predictable tooth movements, your smile can be transformed with fewer surprises along the way.
