Discreet Teeth Straightening at Sunny Dental
Straighter teeth, without the metal. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom made aligners to move your teeth gradually into a better position, and most people will not notice you are wearing them at all.
At our London Road practice every case is planned digitally and reviewed by Dr Sundeep Solanki (BDS, MFDS RCSEd, MSc, GDC 212282) before you begin, so you see the plan for your teeth and the full fee before you commit to anything.
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system for straightening teeth. Instead of fixed brackets and wires, you wear a sequence of removable, transparent aligners, each shaped slightly differently to the last, so your teeth move a little further at every stage.
You wear each set for a week or two before moving on to the next. They come out for eating, drinking and brushing, which is why most patients find them straightforward to live with.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
- A discreet appearance in everyday life
- Aligners you can take out
- Comfort that most patients prefer to fixed braces
- Typically fewer emergency appointments than fixed braces
- The freedom to eat and brush normally
- A digitally planned treatment from day one
If you want straighter teeth without visible braces, Invisalign is worth discussing at your consultation. We will also tell you honestly if it is not the right fit for your case.
Our Invisalign Process at Sunny Dental
2 London Road, Twickenham
London, TW1 3RY
We check that your teeth and gums are healthy enough to begin. Stability comes before straightening, always.
A digital scan replaces the old impression trays, and we map how your teeth will move.
You see the projected outcome, the expected timeframe and the full fee before you decide anything.
You collect your aligners and we review your progress at regular checks along the way.
Teeth drift back without retention. Retainers keep your new alignment where we put it.
Invisalign vs Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Invisalign aligners are removable, discreet and suited to a wide range of alignment issues.
Fixed braces are exactly that, fixed. For complex cases they can offer more control, and sometimes they are simply the better clinical choice.
We assess your teeth and tell you which option will give you the most stable long term result, even when that is not the option you came in asking about.
Invisalign® Is Part of a Smile Makeover
Teeth whitening
Composite bonding
Porcelain veneers
Straightening first creates the foundation. Once your teeth sit in the right position, whitening, bonding and veneers have far better raw material to work with, which is why we plan cosmetic treatment as one sequence rather than a series of separate jobs.

Frequently Asked
Questions
The aligners are clear and fit closely against your teeth, so most people will not spot them in normal conversation. You are likely to be more aware of them in the first few days than anyone around you is.
It depends on how far your teeth need to move. Many cases complete within 6 to 18 months, and smaller adjustments can be quicker than that. At your consultation you will get an estimated timeframe based on your own treatment plan rather than an average.
Yes, and that is one of the main advantages. They come out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush. They do need wearing for around 20 to 22 hours a day though, so your result depends on you keeping to that.
Not always. Invisalign handles a wide range of alignment issues, but some complex cases are better treated with fixed braces, and a few need referral to a specialist in orthodontics. We will assess your teeth and tell you straight if another route would serve you better.
You will feel pressure for a day or two each time you move to a new set of aligners, which is the sensation of your teeth actually moving. Most patients describe it as mild and manageable rather than painful, and it settles as you get used to each stage.
