Invisible Braces and Your Smile
Invisible braces change your smile. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. The first step in making a positive impression is to smile. When you smile, you light up. As the saying goes, “Smile and the world smiles too.” There are lots of famous quotes relating to having a great smile! So, there’s nothing like a smile to create a good first impression. A warm and confident smile will put both you and the other person at ease. Your smile is contagious, and others want to smile with you.
Often, we feel how we look. Feeling happy about how you look can help you to feel confident. Increased confidence helps with the way you interact with other people. It’s normal to worry about the way you look sometimes. Invisible braces are used to change the way your teeth look.
We are a health-conscious society, and, as such, straight white teeth promote the image of health. Nobody wants to be perceived as being unhealthy, or unwell.
Invisible Braces to Improve Your Smile
Invisalign is one of the many options available to improve your smile. It is a series of clear, almost invisible aligners, which gradually straighten your teeth. Previously metal braces, and dental veneers were the only way to achieve this. Metal braces are visible to everyone, so adults didn’t really choose the option. Yes, ceramic braces are now available, but they are not quite as invisible as Invisalign. Dental veneers were previously very popular as a method of improving your smile. However, this type of treatment involves the cutting and re-shaping of your teeth. Most patients want to avoid damage to their teeth, and as a result, Invisalign treatments are now growing in popularity.
Who has Invisalign?
You will know many people that have undergone Invisalign invisible braces treatment. However, because they are so good at their job, you probably won’t have noticed! We have provided Invisalign to patients from all walks of life and all age ranges!
Invisalign benefits
Almost invisible braces
You can hardly see the aligners. That is the point of Invisalign.
Improved comfort
No brackets or wires, and as a result, less soreness on your cheeks and gums.
Easily removed
You simply click the aligners in and out. It’s like wearing a gumshield.
Easy to maintain
You can easily clean them when you remove them. Brushing with water and a soft toothbrush does the trick.
The Invisalign Invisible Braces Treatment Process
Clincheck
The first step is to take impressions or a scan of your teeth. This is converted to a digital preview of the movements that your teeth will make up until the end of treatment. Consequently, you can actually see how your teeth will end up looking at the end of the process.
Delivery of aligners
Then you are provided with a series of aligners, which you change every two weeks. The dentist will see you periodically to ensure tooth movements are occurring as expected.
What To Expect from Invisible Braces
Tightness
When you insert a new Invisalign aligner, it will feel tight. This is normal. It has to feel tight in order to apply force to your teeth. Subsequently, it will become less tight as your teeth move as a result of the forces applied.
Altered speech
Speech disturbance is minor, and usually overcome very quickly. It’s only natural to expect this as you are wearing an appliance in your mouth.
Sore gums
On occasion parts of your gum can become sore due to the edge of the aligner. This rectifies as your gums get used to it, however, if it doesn’t, then your aligners are easily trimmed.
No eating with Invisible Braces
The aligners are removed when eating. This is important. Patients get really good at quickly and covertly removing and inserting the aligners.
Invisible Braces Treatment Duration
Due to the tooth movements required, the overall time of treatment depends on each patient case. We expect you to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day for them to work effectively.

Great dental practice! The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the place is clean and comfortable. Dr. Adam was kind, patient, and explained everything clearly. I feel confortable every time I go— definitely recommend!
- I am a new patient at this Dentist and I am so impressed with the professionalism I have experienced. I was made to feel very relaxed and there was no pressure to decide what I wanted doing to my gapped teeth. The hygienist was very helpful and friendly and it was the best clean and polish I have ever experienced . This is just the first step to my future treatment and I feel very confident they are going to make me happy
- 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 🎉🎉🎉 - Excellent. Needed emergency treatment after breaking a tooth/filling. Could not get in at NHS emergency surgeries.
Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. A very good service, though it comes at a price. - I came to the practice a couple of weeks ago for the first time. The staff were very professional and welcoming and made the whole experience comfortable. All staff took their time to answer my questions and made me feel at ease. Will definitely go back.

I needed emergency treatment. They were really fast. All the staff were friendly and professional. The dentist was caring and extremely clear about my options. The treatment I received was exemplary from start to finish. Would definitely recommend - Fitted me in very quickly for an emergency appointment when my dentist was ill.
The dentist I saw did a thorough examination to establish problem, including taking an x-ray of the problem tooth. Whilst the x-ray was being uploaded she explained to me what she thought the problem was. When the x-ray came through she posted it on the screen so that I could see what and where the problem was whilst she explained. She prescribed antibiotics and advised me to keep my dental appointment on Tuesday at my usual dentist. Thank you. - Steve has seen my father to resize his dentures. My father is in a home and suffers from dementia so it is quite a challenging situation. Steve and the whole team made the process as seamless as possible. He explained each step of the process and was never short of time with my father and I to go into any more detail should we need to further understand anything. Steve was so patient with my father throughout.
After the impressions were taken newly refitted dentures were back within days and they were sparking clean and fitted perfectly.
I cannot recommend Steve and the team at Rock Dental highly enough. - 01.12.2017 - Another trip to Rock Dental for myself, my husband and 2 year old boy. Practice looks lovely and very Christmassy! Everyone was lovely and friendly and we always really look forward to our dental appointments and Guri even made a Chicken Balloon from a rubber glove for my little boy! Thanks guys - 5 star service
Aug 2016 - Fantastic Dental Practice & Staff! Highly recommended. Treated like royalty and staff are wonderful and a credit to the practice. No wonder they have so many 5 star reviews on Google! So glad I found them and joined the practice! -
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 .
- What a pleasant surprise.
A clean and modern practice.
Staff are courteous and procedures are explained fully, along with any available options.
My only negative is ... I wish I had been made aware of the practice much sooner. - 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!!😁
- 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.
- Staff are very competent and friendly. Efficient use of IT for booking etc. Good location, plenty of parking. Would not hesitate to recommend the Practice
- Dr Aron Kandola is so lovely! As was everyone, my first time to this particular dentist and I will not use another. I felt so welcome and well treated, everything was explained perfectly. Thank you so much!
- I've been at this dentist since it moved to it's new home. Cannot fault the team, been in today to have a repair done, in and out before you know it.
Excellent service - I had a fantastic experience with Simran Bains! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She is incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to her patients' needs. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Her gentle approach and caring nature truly set her apart. I highly recommend Simran Bains to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist. Thank you for the excellent care!
- Great service and always friendly staff :)
All dental work and anything that needs to be checked or kept note of is always fully explained to me.
Thanks to everyone and Happy Christmas :) - I've been a patient here for 15 years and it's got better and better. Fantastic service from start to finish. I've recently had 4 implants and would recommend highly.
- A great and friendly service.
Really impressed with everything about Rock Dental.
Keep up the good work. Would highly recommend to anyone
