5 Things You Should Know About Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners are an awesome way of straightening your teeth. They are discrete and easy to wear and as a result our patients simply love them.
Below are 5 things you should know about the treatment.

Invisalign aligners work best if you wear them for at least 22 hours a day.

The longer you wear the aligners continually, the more chance they have to work. Its a commitment! You will wear the braces for 2 weeks before changing to the next set.

You can take the aligner out when you eat.

You must remove the braces when you eat. In fact, eating with them in is impossible, as your teeth will not come into contact. Our patients become very adept at discreetly slipping the aligners out and in. Removing the braces when you eat allows you to enjoy your food as normal. Try to brush your teeth before and after inserting your aligners. Oral hygiene is is much easier to keep up with as you can remove your aligners to brush and floss as normal.

Water is the best drink for your braces

You can drink when you wear your invisible braces, but, tea, coffee, red wine may all cause staining. If morning coffee is an essential part of your daily routine, remove the aligners before drinking it. Try to brush your teeth before and after inserting your aligners.

Don’t smoke

Smoking will clause your invisible braces to become less than invisible. Tobacco stains are unsightly and difficult to remove. Also, smoking is bad for your general dental health

Invisalign Aligners aren’t for everyone

Not all patients are good candidates for Invisalign. Traditional braces may be a better choice for those with severely crooked teeth.

    positive review  I am needle phobic. The last time I saw a dentist was when God was a boy. I was seen by Kiran and Gemma.
    I love both of them as I had the dental wand for a filling. It then turned into a tooth extraction. The best £257 quid I will ever spend. If you are terrified of dentists? I am a world champion of needle phobia. Not now. AND I DO MEAN PAINLESS!

    I initially went to Rock House because of the good reviews. I had toothache and was seen quickly, despite the fact that I was not yet a patient. The problem was dealt with and I registered with the practice. The dentists have always been straightforward and honest about what needs doing - and the reverse. I knew I needed work and once this was completed it has just been check-ups and hygienist work. At all times everyone at the practice has been helpful and polite. - 9/12/2023

    I’m normally an anxious patient, but I had such a great experience at Rock Dental. The staff was really lovely and made me feel welcome right away. Damini, the hygienist, took care of me and was amazing, she and her nurse made sure I wasn’t feeling any discomfort and kept checking in throughout. I felt genuinely cared for and so much more at ease than usual. Highly recommend!!😁 - 7/01/2025

    Friendly and professional staff make going to the dentist feel as relaxing as it can be!
    I went private after not being able to find an NHS dentist which is something I didn’t really want to do. The costs are very reasonable and the service is exceptional.
    I had a check up, and a emergency filling replacement and I was able to feel comfortable enough to talk through how to improve the overall condition of my teeth.
    I was given a discounted consultation and quotes for different options and at no point did I feel pressured to part with my cash.
    I settled on teeth whitening and replacing fillings and was given a plan of action and a detailed quote for the treatment. No hidden costs or surprises.
    I am so happy with the results and can’t stop smiling!
    Thank you to every member of staff 👏

    I cannot recommend this dentist highly enough. They are kind, considerate and eminently professional. They were also nothing short of amazing when my autistic son needed s wisdom tooth removed. They were so expert and understanding with him they removed the tooth without the need for a general anaesthetic and hospital visit. Brilliant. - 8/13/2019

    I am a nervous patient. I cry through the exam let alone any treatment!! Today these lovely people got me through an extraction with no sedation!! - 10/03/2018

    NHS treatment just wasn’t cutting it. Joined Rock Dental when I hit 30years old and it’s honestly the best thing I’ve done for my health.
    Spent a-bit initially to fix and replace some shoddy NHS work (by others) filling replacements and wisdom teeth out. but that alone made me realise how good Rock Dental is.
    Dentistry to this team is a passion and an art form. They are pro active on check ups looking ahead for potential issues that may come up and advising how to avoid needing treatment.
    Absolutely petrified of the dentists but Rock House was a game changer for me. Should have joined 10 years sooner.

    positive review  Had to have an emergency appointment, followed up with an extraction. They were really accommodating and sympathetic, I got treatment really promptly. Even the procedure was ok because they paid great attention to pain relief . - 12/18/2020

    I can’t speak highly enough about the Rock Dental practice. Professional, friendly and a great team. Don’t get me wrong I don’t like going to the dentist however, my recent visit for a filling which I had been putting off was so amazing even I can’t believe I’m using these words about a dentist appointment.
    I was looked after by Simran and I am a nervous patient however, she explained everything to me and put my mind at ease. The work was done before I even knew it. I can’t praise her highly enough. She was brilliant.
    To be fair the whole experience was lovely and although I don’t want to go back to have any other work done, I wouldn’t have any hesitation if I needed to. The whole team was brilliant, professional and more than that they are a lovely team. Thank you

    My first visit was an emergency appointment, I spoke to them on the phone at 10:30 and I had been seen by 11:30. I was dealt with professionally and quickly with the best solution for me being their priority. I was disappointed with the price but I was presented with the options and made the best choice for me. Thank you to all that dealt with me I would recommend for the great service I received. - 2/16/2019

    Thanks so much for a very pleasant visit. I had an appointment with Steve to take an impression for a new denture. He was very friendly and professional. He told me exactly what he was doing and why all the way through the appointment. Kate the nurse was also lovely and very professional. Well done to all the team and thank you. - 12/05/2024
  • James Crowter
    These guys have proved time and again for me that they care more, when I needed emergency care they performed miracles and then repeatedly rang me to check how I was. Then they coached me to make sure it didn't reoccur. They've repeatedly told me not to have treatment if they wouldn't themselves rather than just selling to the max. Integrity and care, exactly what you need in a dentist. - 3/13/2019
  • Liz Sparks
    Went to rock house as struggling my nhs dentist to repair my slightly broken filling without them drilling out the entire tooth as they said it was major dental work. Rock house were absolutely brilliant, fitted me in and got it sorted with just a minor repair. Aron was really reassuring and very professional. I was so impressed I’m now moving to them to look after my teeth from now on. - 11/25/2023

    I was out of the area I needed a dentist ASAP so from word of mouth I was recommended to go to Rock House Dental Practice and what a dentist. One of the best Practice I have been to yet, clean and tidy and the staff where like family to me very welcoming I will visit again when and if I eat too many sweets thank you all - 7/19/2019
  • Dr. Mark Hall
    Our daughter had a very painful tooth. She has been miss treated and given poor advice by her NHS dentist so I rang and asked my dentist at the Rock Dental Practice if she could be seen.
    They were very helpful and she was seen the same day.
    The receptionist was very accommodating and made us welcome.
    The dental nurse was lovely and made our 13 year old very comfortable and held her hand.
    The dentist Adam explained everything very well to me and my daughter so we both knew what was needed. He talked to my daughter during the procedure to make her comfortable as possible.
    We had excellent first class treatment from start to finish.
    Thank you everyone 🎉🎉🎉

    Had my first appointment yesterday and was extremely impressed by the service I received. The staff were all friendly and knowledgable, the waiting room was clean and comfortable and the consult room was incredibly well equipped. I left feeling very confident with a detailed treatment plan and a clear expectation of costs moving forward. I can honestly say it’s the best experience I’ve ever had a a dentist and I wish I’d gone to this practice sooner! - 9/12/2025

    If you want top class care and professionalism Rock House Dental Practice provides this and more.
    Staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. The clinical knowledge and experience here is first class. You are involved in all aspects of dental care and time is taken to explain things to you clearly. You are never rushed.
    Thank you to the team for looking after my dental care for many years.

    I have been a patient for many years and would not go anywhere else, despite living some distance away. I recently visited the practice for a routine check up and, as always, all the staff are extremely professional, friendly and provide the utmost care possible. The team absolutely went out of their way to accommodate me. This included fitting me in as an emergency on a Saturday morning. I can thoroughly recommend this practice. Thank you Dr Nandra and the team. - 7/24/2019
  • Tweekyman 2007
    A five star experience from start to finish. A service delivered in a professional, empathetic and informative manner. Communication was clear with no confusion, the treatment plan was informative and structured. Staff were professional, helpful and very supportive. I don't think I can think of a downside at this practice and have never been so happy to visit a dentist! - 9/27/2025
  • Caryl Bridgwater
    After being let down and left in tears by my NHS dentist in an emergency, the Rock dental practice really came to my rescue. What a completely different experience! They were caring, explained everything fully and quickly resolved my predicament. I want to give a very special thank you to Steve , whose skill and expertise with dentures literally and perfectly gave me my smile back. A big thank you too, to Simran who I can fully recommend for extractions, I never felt a thing! And I'd like to give a mention to Faye on reception who is very welcoming and friendly. I can fully recommend the care and expertise I have received at this practice and will be returning. - 6/28/2024
