Transform your smile with discreet Invisalign clear aligners
Custom-made aligners for maximum comfort.
Trusted by over 16 million patients worldwide.
Invisalign is a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment plan that uses a series of clear plastic aligners.
The removable mouth trays (aligners) are laser-trimmed to fit your gum line for comfort and appearance.
Unlike traditional fixed dental braces, no metal brackets or wires are used, so you spend less time visiting us for adjustments.
A custom Invisalign treatment plan will be created from a fast, precise digital scan of your teeth. The computer generates 3-D images of your mouth, showing what your teeth will look like after each aligner and after treatment is finished.
As you replace your aligner every two weeks, each aligner applies the right amount of force to the right place at the right time, using painless but steady pressure over several months to gradually move and straighten your teeth into their correct positions in a shorter time frame than conventional Orthodontics.
Once you have your brand-new Invisalign® smile, it’s easy to keep your teeth in their new position with Vivera™ retainers. Dr Bronkhorst will continue to help you with this even after your treatment is complete, guiding you on the required wear time to maintain your new smile.
As an experienced Invisalign provider, Dr Bronkhorst uses the latest digital technology, including iTero® scanning and advanced 3D CBCT imaging, to design clear aligner treatment that is comfortable, precise, and beautifully personalised. Patients are guided through a seamless journey, with the opportunity to preview their new smile before treatment begins.
Invisalign is the world’s most advanced transparent aligner system, backed by over two decades of innovation.

See Your Future Smile. Advanced 3D iTero Scanning in Plymouth
Visualise how your teeth will look after Invisalign treatment with our state-of-the-art iTero scanner.
Any tweaks or adjustments can also be made in real time, so you can show us exactly how you want your smile to look.
The scans also create a time-lapse simulation to see how your teeth will change with each new aligner.
Get a high-resolution, interactive image of your teeth and track your progress at every appointment.
Instead of the traditional method of taking impressions of your mouth using uncomfortable trays and messy putty, the iTero Scanner is a digital impression system.
Using a small optical wand to scan the inside of your mouth, a high-quality, detailed 3D image is created to help design your treatment plan.
The scanner provides a more accurate, faster, and more comfortable way to capture impressions of your teeth and gums, giving you a more precise aligner fit than with physical impressions.
Invisalign FAQ
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
While every smile is unique, a standard Invisalign treatment programme usually takes between 12 and 18 months to complete. However, many of our Plymouth patients start noticing positive changes to their smile in just a matter of weeks.
Throughout your journey, you will simply switch to a new custom-made aligner every two weeks to gently guide your teeth into their correct positions.
Where is your Plymouth Invisalign clinic located, and is parking available?
You will find our state-of-the-art practice at 7 Lockyer Road, just a stone’s throw from Mutley Plain in Plymouth (PL3 4RL). We are conveniently positioned for patients travelling from across Britain’s Ocean City, including Derriford, Plympton, and Stoke Village.
There is convenient on-street parking right outside our practice (permit-only between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm). Alternatively, the Mutley Barracks and Napier Terrace car parks are only 100 metres away, both offering two hours of free parking.
Who will be managing my Invisalign treatment at the clinic?
Your teeth straightening journey will be overseen by our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst. Celebrating 40 years in dentistry, Dr Bronkhorst is an internationally trained Cosmetic Dentist and a highly experienced Invisalign Provider.
Her extensive expertise ensures that patients from Saltash, Torpoint, Ivybridge, and throughout Plymouth receive world-class orthodontic care locally.
How does the initial Invisalign consultation work?
Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a comprehensive, one-hour examination at our Mutley Plain clinic. We thoroughly assess your gum health, structural integrity, and bite function.
Instead of using messy putty, we utilise our state-of-the-art iTero Element® 5D Imaging System to take highly detailed, comfortable 3D digital impressions of your teeth. We will then discuss your aesthetic goals and provide a completely customised treatment plan.
Can I see what my teeth will look like before I start treatment?
Absolutely. One of the greatest benefits of choosing our Plymouth clinic is our use of the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro and advanced iTero scanner.
This incredible technology generates an instant, interactive 3D simulation of your mouth. It allows you to visualise exactly how your teeth will move and what your newly straightened smile will look like before you even commit to your first aligner.
Will Invisalign clear braces disrupt my day-to-day life?
Invisalign aligners are designed to be clear, comfortable, and removable, ensuring minimal disruption to your professional and personal life. Because they are laser-trimmed to fit your exact gum line, they are exceptionally discreet.
You can easily remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, or for special occasions, whether you are enjoying a meal out on the Barbican or attending an important meeting in the city centre. However, for the best results, they must be worn for 20 to 22 hours daily.
Will wearing clear aligners affect my speech or cause pain?
Because Invisalign applies gentle, steady pressure to move your teeth, it is completely normal for the aligners to feel slightly tight during the first few days after you start wearing a new set.
You may also notice a very slight lisp when you first start treatment, but your tongue will quickly adapt, and this will disappear within a couple of days.
How often will I need to visit the dentist during my treatment?
Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign has no wires to tighten or brackets to adjust, so there are fewer trips to the dentist. You will only need to visit our Lockyer Road clinic every 6 to 8 weeks.
During these brief appointments, Dr Bronkhorst will check your progress to ensure your treatment schedule is progressing as planned and provide you with your next batch of aligners.
What happens if I lose or break an Invisalign aligner?
If you lose or break an aligner, contact our Plymouth reception team immediately. We will work with you to ensure your treatment stays on track.
Depending on where you are in your schedule, we may advise you to temporarily wear a previous aligner, proceed straight to your next set, or order a replacement aligner.
