Transform your smile with Invisalign teeth straightening in Plymouth
Clear, comfortable and removable.
Trusted by over 16 million patients worldwide.
Invisalign uses a series of almost invisible, removable braces that gently move your teeth into a better position without disrupting your professional or personal life, regardless of your age or dental situation.
At your initial consultation, Dr Bronkhorst will take a digital scan with our iTero 3D scanner and show you a realistic simulation of how your teeth could look after using Invisalign aligners.
Most patients wear their aligners for 20–22 hours a day, and typically finish treatment in around 12–18 months, with check‑ups every 6–8 weeks.
If you are ready for a straighter smile without fixed braces, contact our friendly team today to book your Invisalign consultation in Plymouth. We’re located just off Mutley Plain, with convenient free parking nearby.

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 faster, more accurate, and more comfortable way to capture impressions of your teeth and gums, giving you a more precise aligner fit than physical impressions.
Invisalign FAQ
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
While every smile is unique, a standard treatment programme usually takes between 12 and 18 months to complete. However, many of our 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.
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.
How does the initial Invisalign consultation work?
Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a comprehensive, one-hour examination at our dental 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?
One of the benefits of our clinic is our use of the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro and advanced iTero scanner.
This 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.
How long does Invisalign last?
There are two parts to “how long Invisalign lasts”. Your active treatment and then keeping your results.
Most Invisalign treatments last around 6–18 months, depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners.
Simple spacing or mild crowding can sometimes be completed faster, while more involved bite corrections may take longer.
After you finish active Invisalign, you’ll need retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions, because teeth naturally try to drift back over time.
Typically, you’ll wear retainers full‑time at first, then nights only, and often at least several nights a week long‑term to protect your new smile.
Will Invisalign braces disrupt my day-to-day life?
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. 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 plastic braces apply 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 us every 6 to 8 weeks.
During these brief appointments, Dr Bronkhorst will check your progress to ensure your treatment schedule is on track and provide you with your next batch of aligners.
To ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy and free of plaque throughout your clear aligner journey, we highly recommend scheduling regular maintenance visits with our dental hygienist.
Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients describe the first few days with new Invisalign aligners as “pressure” or tightness rather than sharp pain. Discomfort is usually mild to moderate, peaking in the first 1–3 days of each new tray while your teeth start to move, then settling quickly as your mouth adapts.
Because Invisalign uses smooth plastic and no brackets or wires, it tends to cause less rubbing of cheeks and lips than traditional braces. You might notice temporary tenderness when chewing and, in some cases, a slight lisp that usually resolves within a week.
Simple measures such as switching to a new aligner at night, eating softer foods, and using over‑the‑counter pain relief if needed can make the adjustment much easier.
What happens if I lose or break an aligner?
Contact our reception team immediately, and 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.
