Who Invisalign suits, and who it does not
Invisalign suits most adults with crowding, gaps, rotated teeth, mild to moderate bite problems, or teeth that have drifted back after braces as a teenager. It suits people whose work or social life makes fixed braces impractical, and it suits anyone who will wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, because that is the only condition under which they work.
It is the wrong starting point, or needs a different route first, when gum disease is active (we stabilise the gums with our hygienist first); when the problem is largely skeletal and may need a specialist orthodontist or surgery (we refer); when there is untreated decay or a failing filling that must be dealt with before teeth move; and when the honest answer is that fixed braces would give better control, for example with large rotations or significant vertical movement. We say which at the consultation, and if the answer is "not Invisalign" you leave with that answer and no fee.
Dr Patel is also a registered Six Month Smiles provider, so where fixed braces are the better route for your case, that can be discussed at the same consultation.
Invisalign results from our Islington clinic
Photographs are of our own patients, taken at the clinic before and after treatment and shown with written consent. Results vary with the case and with how consistently the aligners are worn; these are typical of the plans we provide, not a promise.
The process, step by step
- Free consultation (45 minutes). Examination of teeth, gums and bite, iTero scan, and a straight answer on whether aligners are right for you.
- ClinCheck and written plan. You see the planned movement on screen and receive the plan, timeline and fee in writing before you commit.
- Fit appointment. Attachments placed where needed, first aligners fitted, wear and cleaning explained.
- Reviews every six to ten weeks. Ten to fifteen minutes each, to check every tooth is tracking.
- Refinement, if needed. A short extra series to fine-tune the finish; one refinement is included on Express and Moderate, and Unlimited covers refinements as the case requires.
- Retention. Retainers hold the result; they are quoted in writing with your plan.
A course of aligners is not one appointment: it is a scan, a planning conversation, a fit appointment, reviews every six to ten weeks, refinements and then retention, typically six to twelve visits over twelve to eighteen months. A genuinely local provider tends to produce better-finished cases because patients actually attend the reviews, problems are caught early and the case does not drift. A remote mail-order provider cannot look at your gums, cannot feel your bite and cannot intervene when a tooth is not tracking. Every case here is planned and delivered by Dr Patel, who has treated over 15,000 cases across around 20 years in dentistry, with the practice on Essex Road since 2010.

Questions people ask about Invisalign in Islington
How much is Invisalign in Islington?
From £1,500 for a single-arch Express case, £3,400 for Moderate and £4,500–£4,900 for Unlimited. The consultation and scan are free.
Is Invisalign worth it at 35, or 50?
Age is not the limiting factor; gum health and bone are. A large share of our cases are adults in their thirties to fifties who had braces as teenagers and have relapsed.
How long does Invisalign take?
Minor cases a few months; most adult cases nine to fifteen months; complex bite correction eighteen months or more. Wear time decides it as much as the plan.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Pressure for a day or two with each new aligner, and sometimes a slight lisp at first. Both settle quickly.
What is the difference between Invisalign and cheaper aligners?
The aligner material differs less than the planning and supervision. The practical difference is who examines you before movement starts and who sees you every six to ten weeks. See Invisalign vs clear aligners.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes: 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo, subject to status.
Will I need to wear retainers forever?
Nightly retainers indefinitely are the honest answer; teeth move throughout life. Some patients also have a fine fixed retainer behind the front teeth.
What patients say about Invisalign here
Google reviews, reproduced as written.
I’m based in Dalston and was super self-conscious about my slightly twisted teeth. Looked at clear aligners vs Invisalign at different places but Dental & Wellness London’s expertise won me over. They used 3D tech to show exactly how my teeth would shift. Appointments were always on time, easy to pop over from Dalston. Finished with whitening and now I love smiling in photos.

I had a great experience doing Invisalign i7 with Dr Patel couldn’t recommend enough. Dr Patel is really kind and works with you to find the right solution for your situation - there’s no upselling and is very flexible. Invisalign i7 worked for my requirements and was super quick. Thanks everyone for the great service - really appreciate it!

My invisalign experience with this clinic was really fantastic! Dr Patel was very patient in addressing my concerns and he always made me feel at ease with each step. Everything was thoroughly explained and the team respected my decision on each intervention. Maria was also very friendly and accomodating every time I was at the clinic. Will definitely recommend this clinic to friends and family :)
