What’s one investment that genuinely pays off every single day?

A confident smile.

At Paddington Dentistry, we’ve been trusted by the local community for many years, helping patients feel more confident in their smiles with a thoughtful, personalised approach.

The good news? Teeth straightening today is far more discreet and comfortable than it used to be, thanks to Invisalign.

Invisalign: A Modern Approach to Straightening Teeth

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into better alignment.

Each set is designed specifically for your teeth and applies gentle, controlled pressure to guide them into position. You’ll typically change aligners every 1–2 weeks, with each step bringing you closer to your ideal smile.

Because they’re removable, you can:

  • Eat normally (no restrictions)
  • Brush and floss properly
  • Avoid the look and feel of traditional braces

Most patients also find them far more comfortable than fixed appliances.

  • Gold Tier Invisalign Provider – reflecting our experience and consistent case volume
  • Trusted locally for years – many of our Invisalign patients come through word of mouth

  • Comprehensive smile planning – we look beyond straight teeth to overall aesthetics and function

Is Invisalign Suitable for You?

Invisalign works beautifully in many cases—but not all. The key is proper assessment.

You may be a good candidate if:

1. Mild to Moderate Crowding

If your teeth are slightly overlapping or not well aligned, Invisalign can be very effective

2. Gaps Between Teeth

Clear aligners can gently close spaces and improve symmetry.

3. Minor Bite Issues

Cases like mild overbite, underbite, or crossbite can often be improved—more complex cases may require alternative options.

We’ll always be upfront with you—if Invisalign isn’t the best option, we’ll explain why and guide you properly.

What to Expect from the Invisalign Process

1. Consultation & Assessment

Detailed exam, digital scans, and imaging to understand your teeth and goals.

2. Custom Treatment Plan

A personalised roadmap showing how your smile will evolve (typically 12–18 months).

3. Wearing Your Aligners

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day.

4. Progress Reviews

Regular check-ins (usually every 6–8 weeks) to ensure everything is tracking properly.
