Straighten your smile discreetly with invisalign. No metal braces required

Invisalign clear aligners gradually straighten your teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible trays. No wires, no brackets, just a treatment that fits around your life.

Could Invisalign Be Right for You?

Picture this: straighter teeth without the metal, without the fuss, without putting your life on pause.

That’s the conversation we have every week at Pearly Whites with people just like you, professionals heading to meetings in Chelsea, parents at the school gates in Parsons Green, or anyone who simply wants to smile in photos without that niggling self-consciousness.

You want straighter teeth. You don’t want everyone knowing you’re getting them straightened.

That’s exactly where Invisalign fits.

These clear, removable aligners work quietly behind the scenes, straightening gradually, fitting seamlessly into your routine, never announcing themselves to the world.

At Pearly Whites, we never rush into treatment. We start with an honest conversation about your teeth, your lifestyle, and whether Invisalign is genuinely the right path for you. Located on Munster Road in Fulham SW6, serving patients across Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Chelsea, and Hammersmith.

Led by Dr. Lia Melconian, a certified Invisalign provider helping adults and teenagers achieve straighter smiles with a treatment plan tailored to your teeth and your goals.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern teeth-straightening system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners instead of traditional metal braces. Each aligner is custom-made from smooth, virtually invisible plastic and designed specifically for your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology. You wear each set for about 1 to 2 weeks before moving to the next, and your teeth gradually shift into their correct positions. The aligners are so discreet that most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.

Unlike fixed braces, you can take Invisalign aligners out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, which means no food restrictions and no difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene. There are no metal wires or brackets to rub against your mouth, making the treatment more comfortable day to day. Most patients complete their treatment in 6 to 18 months, with check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks that typically take just 15 minutes. It’s teeth straightening that fits around your life, not the other way around.

Common Problems Invisalign Can Fix

Gaps Between Teeth

Those spaces that catch your eye in every photo? Clear aligners gently close them, creating a more unified smile and improving bite stability.

Crowded or Crooked Teeth

When teeth overlap or twist, they’re harder to clean and can affect confidence. Invisalign gradually creates space and brings harmony to your smile.

Overbite

If your upper teeth significantly overlap your lower ones, Invisalign can guide them into a healthier, more comfortable position.

Crossbite

When upper and lower teeth don’t align properly, it creates uneven wear. Invisalign helps correct this, reducing strain on your jaw.

Underbite

For suitable cases, we can use Invisalign to reposition teeth and create a more balanced bite.

Openbite

If your front teeth don’t meet when you close your mouth, aligners can help them connect properly, improving both chewing and speech.

How Invisalign Treatment Works at Pearly Whites

Your Invisalign Assessment (£65)

Dr. Lia will examine your teeth, discuss what you'd like to change, and assess whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you. We'll use our iTero 3D scanner to create a digital image of your teeth and show you a simulation of your future smile. No impressions needed. If Invisalign suits your case, we'll explain the treatment timeline, costs, and payment options. The £65 assessment fee is deductible from your treatment cost if you proceed.

Your Custom Treatment Plan

We'll design a precise treatment plan showing exactly how your teeth will move at each stage. You'll see a digital preview of your final result before you commit. Once you're happy, we'll order your custom-made aligners.

Start Your Treatment

You'll receive your first sets of aligners with full instructions. Wear each set for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to the next set every 1 to 2 weeks as directed. You'll see us every 6 to 8 weeks to check progress and collect your next sets of aligners.

Watch Your Smile Transform

Over the coming months, your teeth will gradually move into their new positions. Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, though this varies depending on complexity. Dr. Lia works meticulously through refinements to ensure you're genuinely happy with the result.

Maintain Your New Smile

Once treatment is complete, you'll wear retainers at night to keep your teeth in their new positions. We'll provide your first set of Essix retainers as part of your treatment package.

Payment Plan That's Perfect For You

Invisalign Costs and Planning

Let’s talk about investment, not just price. Treatment costs vary because every smile is different. What you need, how long it takes, and the complexity involved all play a part.

During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear breakdown with no hidden surprises, and discuss payment options that work with your budget.

Nervous About Going to the Dentist?

You’re not alone, and you’re genuinely welcome here

Dental anxiety is more common than you might think. Whether it stems from a difficult past experience, fear of pain, or simply feeling vulnerable in the chair, we understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming.

Dr. Lia is well known for making anxious patients feel at ease, it’s one of the things patients mention most often in their reviews. She works differently with nervous patients: taking time to listen, explaining everything before doing it, and moving at your pace, not ours.

Common Questions About Invisalign

How long does Invisalign take?

Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months. Simple cases may finish in as little as 4 to 6 months. More complex alignment issues can take up to 24 months.

Does Invisalign hurt?

You’ll feel pressure when you start wearing a new set of aligners as your teeth begin to move. This is normal and usually subsides within a day or two. Most patients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain.

How often do I wear my aligners?

You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day for the treatment to work properly. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth.

How often will I visit the dentist?

You’ll see us every 6 to 8 weeks for quick check-ups lasting about 15 minutes. We’ll monitor your progress and give you your next sets of aligners.

Can I eat and drink normally?

Yes. Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This means no food restrictions and no risk of damaging your aligners.

Will people notice I'm wearing aligners?

Invisalign aligners are clear and fit closely to your teeth, making them very difficult to notice in normal conversation. Most people won’t realise you’re wearing them unless you tell them.

What happens after treatment?

You’ll wear retainers at night to maintain your new smile. Your Essix retainers are included in your treatment package. Without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back towards their original positions.

Am I too old for Invisalign?

No. Invisalign works for adults of any age as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Many of our Invisalign patients are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Can Invisalign fix my specific problem?

Invisalign can correct most common alignment issues including crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Book an assessment and we’ll examine your teeth and give you an honest answer.

How is Invisalign different from braces?

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. You can take them out to eat and clean your teeth, and they’re virtually invisible. Treatment time is often similar to braces.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

You may notice a slight lisp for the first day or two as you get used to wearing aligners. This goes away quickly as your mouth adapts.

Is teeth whitening included?

Yes. Professional teeth whitening (worth £350) is included in your £3,995 Invisalign treatment package, along with Essix retainers.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. Pay £332.91 per month over 12 months with 0% finance. PearlyPlan members save 5% on the total cost.
