iTero® Element™ is an advanced imaging system to allow for precise impressions to be made without the need to bite into gooey material. This system is more reliable, faster and quickly creates a 3D image that can be used by your dentist to begin planning your treatment, be it for tooth wear, changes to the gums, or tooth movement.
iTero® is the only 3D visualisation system which is also dedicated to visualising how your teeth could look after Invisalign clear brace treatment. The built-in Invisalign Outcome Simulator allows your dentist to begin planning your teeth straightening treatment and show your plan side by side with your current teeth before your customised clear aligners are made.
iTero’s TimeLapse technology allows you to see at a glance a 3D model of your teeth, their condition, and potential outcomes of treatment, even between different Invisalign review meetings.
iTero® Element allows Dr Adam Thorne and the dental experts at Harley Street Dental Studio to provide the most precise teeth straightening treatment possible. Seeing is believing.
FEATURED PATIENT STORY
Commercial model Natalie felt that crooked and stained teeth were limiting her work options. Discrete treatment was a must, so Dr Mark Hughes treated Natalie with Invisalign, the removable clear aligner, followed by an Enlighten deep-whitening. A year later, Natalie was over-the-moon with the results – and the extra assignments!

Your journey to a straighter smile will begin with an assessment at our modern clinic here on Harley Street. During this appointment, we’ll decide whether Invisalign invisible braces are the right option for your misaligned smile.
Using the innovative iTero® scanner, we’ll take images of your teeth to determine your treatment’s path. This same technology allows us to show you a preview of how your dream smile will look after treatment with removable aligners.
The information gathered from your digital scans will help create removable made-to-measure clear braces. Once made, you’ll wear your new aligners day and night. The virtually invisible braces exert a small amount of pressure against your crooked or misaligned teeth. It’s this pressure that will gradually straighten them.
Your Invisalign® aligner is removable. This means you can take your aligner out while eating, brushing and flossing.
Every couple of weeks, we’ll give you a brand-new set of aligners to wear. Each new aligner takes your smile journey a step forward. The treatment time and the number of aligners needed depend on whether we’re fixing complicated dental alignment issues or performing a minor tooth correction.
Minor alignments may just straighten your front teeth. Patients receiving a more comprehensive treatment may require movements across all their teeth.
Straightening teeth with award winning Invisalign® custom made aligners means no uncomfortable adjustments. There are no metal brackets and no wires to tighten. We’ll create an attractive smile without the need for countless appointments.
Once you’ve had your teeth straightened with Invisalign®, we must ensure you keep your new confident smile. We’ll provide you with removable retainers to wear. Unlike aligners, these won’t straighten your teeth. Instead, they’ll ensure the progress you’ve made is not undone.
You’ll wear the removable Vivera®retainers until we’re happy that your misaligned or gapped teeth never slip back.
Treatment time varies and depends on your unique situation and the complexity of your case. In general, Invisalign® is slower than fixed braces but is mostly used to treat less complex situations. The average treatment timing ranges from 12 to 18 months but can be much shorter if used to resolve simpler problems. Your Invisalign® aligners are replaced about every two weeks, gradually guiding your teeth into a straighter position. You can expect to see your Invisalign®-certified orthodontist or dentist, on average, every six to eight weeks for routine adjustments and to monitor your overall progress.
We have certified Invisalign® experts available at our London Studio to answer your questions and advise you on how Invisalign® can reshape your smile.
With invisible braces by Invisalign® becoming more and more popular in London and the UK, perhaps it is time that you finally accomplish what you have put off for so long.
Contact Harley Street Dental Studio to learn more about Invisalign® customised aligners. They are the next wave in orthodontic care in London and the UK. We treat our patients at our exclusive private dental studio on Harley Street. Many of our patients are looking for Invisalign London providers.
The first benefit of Invisalign over traditional braces will become clear before even beginning treatment. Our 3D imaging technology takes all of the guesswork out of the procedure, allowing us to show you a pixel-perfect picture of the finished result before you even try on your first aligner. It means you can be sure you’ll love your new smile before committing.
Invisalign was the first ever orthodontic aligner to offer total discretion. Many years on, and they are still the market leader when it comes to practically invisible treatment. The secret is in the transparent material used to produce the aligners, which is barely noticeable to others. Many of our patients say even their loved-ones don’t realise they are undergoing straightening treatment.
Traditional fixed braces rely on a series of wires and brackets affixed to the teeth, which can cause discomfort and draw attention where it is least wanted. The replacement of so many fixings with a single plastic retainer is an elegant and innovative solution that represents a giant leap forward in discretion, comfort and convenience.
While straighter teeth are always good news for oral health, treatment with metal braces isn’t always kind to the teeth. They can be especially problematic for patients engaged in contact sports or martial arts when sharp edges and wires can easily damage the mouth and gums. The metal can also act as a catalyst for tooth demineralisation and decay. Finally, the straightening forces exerted on the teeth by traditional fixed braces are much stronger than those exerted by the altogether gentler Invisalign.
Generally, Invisalign aligners should only be removed for eating and cleaning. We recommend they be worn for at least 20 hours every day. This gives patients the option of removing the appliance temporarily for special events like weddings, job interviews or heart-stopping first dates.
Comfort and ease of cleaning lead some wearers of traditional braces to avoid tougher foods like red meat. In contrast, Invisalign wearers pop out their straightener at mealtimes - so nothing is ever off the menu.
Invisalign offers a range of oral health benefits, including decreasing the risk of cavities and gum disease, to preventing bite issues in complex cases. By straightening your teeth, we can reduce the chances of tooth, jaw, and gum problems later in life.
Here’s the thing Invisalign patients love the most: The procedure gives perfect results every single time. If you’re ready to begin your Invisalign journey, contact the team at Harley Street Dental Studio’s London clinic to arrange your consultation today.
If you’re considering Invisalign treatment, you may have lots of questions. We’ve answered some of our most commonly asked queries below. If you still have burning questions, then feel free to get in touch with our team for more information.
Am I a candidate?
Invisalign is an effective treatment for many orthodontic issues, so there’s a good chance you are a candidate for treatment. If for any reason you are doubtful it could work for you, visit Harley Street Dental Studio for a consultation. Our team will let you know if you are a candidate for treatment.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom aligners to move your teeth until they’re straight. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to crooked or crowded teeth, gradually repositioning them over time. Invisalign braces help straighten teeth on both your lower and upper jaws.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign is a discreet route to a new smile. The clear aligners gently straighten your teeth without anyone noticing they’re there. Because they’re removable, you can take them out when eating, brushing and flossing.
Straightening crowded teeth can reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, meaning they don’t just give you a smile you’ll love; they also improve your oral health.
Sometimes, patients with alignment issues may experience uneven wear to their teeth. Additionally, they might have jaw, neck, shoulder, and even head pains as a result of a misaligned bite. Invisalign corrects the position of your teeth and prevents later issues.
Why do my teeth need straightening?
Alignment issues occur for several reasons. Often, your teeth become crowded because of the way that your lower or upper jaw has developed. Invisalign gently repositions your misaligned or overcrowded teeth.
Is Invisalign suitable for all ages?
It’s commonly assumed that Invisalign is only for teenagers. On the contrary, this is an effective treatment for people of all ages.
What are Invisalign clear aligners made of?
Invisalign braces are made from a safe, strong and flexible plastic called SmartTrack. For discretion, the material is translucent.
Can I treat both top and bottom teeth?
Yes, Invisalign aligners can correct orthodontic issues on both the top and bottom teeth.
I’ve had orthodontic treatment in the past. Can I still get Invisalign?
Yes. Over time it’s common for teeth to shift back to their former position after orthodontic treatment – especially when a retainer isn’t worn. When this happens, Invisalign is a fast, discreet way of improving the smile once again.
I’m already wearing braces. Can I switch to Invisalign braces?
It all depends on what type of braces you wear and how far into treatment you are. If you’d like to switch to Invisalign, it’s best to book a consultation at Harley Street Dental Studio so that our team can make an assessment.
I’ve had dental work like veneers, crowns or bridges. Can I still get Invisalign?
It’s still possible to use Invisalign if you have veneers or crowns, although bridges can make treatment ineffective. If you’ve had dental work in the past and would like to go ahead with Invisalign, it’s best to talk to the team at Harley Street Dental Studio first.
Can I whiten my teeth while using Invisalign?
Many Invisalign patients are looking for ways to improve the overall appearance of their smiles. We offer Enlighten home tooth whitening. Speak to the Harley Street Dental Studio team to learn more about combining teeth whitening and Invisalign treatments.
Is Invisalign Treatment painful?
Invisalign isn’t painful, although some people do experience mild discomfort during the first days of treatment. Afterwards, the sensation is like feeling a constant but gentle pressure on the teeth. This is a sign that Invisalign is working as it should.
What happens if I break my Invisalign aligner?
If you break your aligner, you should contact the team at Harley Street Dental Studio right away. We can replace it with a new one or your next or previous set.
How often do I change my Invisalign aligner?
Generally, you’ll need to visit the team at Harley Street Dental Studio every few weeks for a replacement aligner.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some wearers experience a slight lisp for the first few days of wear. Don’t worry – this is temporary and will go away once you get used to wearing the appliance.
Will people know I’m wearing Invisalign?
Invisalign is one of the most discreet aligners available. While it’s not 100% invisible, you’ll find that most people don’t notice you are wearing it.
Can I take the aligner out whenever I want to?
Yes. However, we recommend you wear your aligner for 20-22 hours every day. Most people remove theirs only for cleaning, eating and drinking.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The average treatment timing depends on the complexity of your case. Invisalign is usually around 12-18 months.
How do I take care of my Invisalign braces?
You should clean the aligner daily with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Never use hot water to clean the appliance, as this can warp the plastic.
How do I take care of my teeth during Invisalign treatment?
As your teeth are in your aligner all day, it’s important to keep them clean. Use fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth twice daily. Flossing can ensure nothing remains trapped between your teeth, You may also want to rinse your mouth with a fluoride mouthwash.
Can I smoke while undergoing Invisalign treatment?
While it’s possible to smoke while wearing the aligner, doing so can stain the clear plastic and end up looking unsightly. We would recommend refraining from smoking during treatment.
Can you chew gum with Invisalign?
It’s best not to chew gum while wearing Invisalign as it can get stuck on the retainer’s plastic and damage the appliance.
Are there any diet restrictions with Invisalign treatment?
No. No foods are off-limits during treatment with Invisalign.
What's the difference between Invisalign Lite and Invisalign Express?
Express and Lite are different treatment options that require fewer braces. Both options are designed for mild Invisalign cases. For standard and complex cases, we’d recommend treatment using the original Invisalign system.
Why choose Harley Street Dental Studio as my Invisalign provider?
Our team includes some of the best dentists in the country. We’ve helped countless patients like you gain confidence in their smiles. Whether we’re treating simple or complex cases, straightening your teeth with us will yield great results.
