What Invisalign Can Actually 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.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign in Fulham
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment duration varies based on complexity. Simple cases may take 6-9 months, while more complex cases can take 12-18 months. Dr. Lia provides a personalised timeline during your consultation based on your specific needs.
Does Invisalign hurt?
ou’ll feel pressure when you switch to a new aligner (this is normal and means they’re working), but most patients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain. The sensation typically eases within 1-2 days as your teeth adjust.
How often do I need appointments?
Check-ups are typically every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and provide your next sets of aligners. Appointments are quick, usually 15-20 minutes.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
You remove your aligners to eat and drink anything other than water, so there are no food restrictions. Brush your teeth before putting aligners back in.
Will people notice I'm wearing Invisalign?
Aligners are clear and virtually invisible. Most people won’t notice unless you tell them or they’re looking very closely.
