Invisalign Express in London

Invisalign Express is the shortest Invisalign course, for minor alignment corrections and slight relapse after earlier treatment. Your suitability and expected treatment time are assessed at your consultation with Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487).

When a short course is enough

A single crooked front tooth, a small gap, or teeth that have drifted since braces years ago do not need a long course. Invisalign Express, part of our orthodontics in London, uses a small series of removable aligners for exactly this kind of limited movement. Dr Papagalani confirms at your consultation whether your case fits the Express criteria.

Specialist planning for shorter alignments

The risk with a short course is choosing it when a fuller plan is clinically required. We plan diagnosis first, so you are not sold a course that cannot finish your case. Fees for each course are set out on our orthodontics costs in London page.

If the assessment shows a different path is needed, such as Invisalign First for a younger patient, we say so.

Who Invisalign Express suits

Adults with mild crowding or spacing who want a discreet alternative to fixed metal braces, and former brace patients whose teeth have relapsed slightly. The aligners are clear and removable. Keeping the result afterwards is covered in our orthodontic aftercare guide. If dental visits make you anxious, tell us when you book.

Your path to straighter teeth

Aligner suitability assessment

We confirm your case fits the Express criteria. If it needs more movement, we discuss Invisalign Full or clear ceramic braces.

Digital smile mapping

We scan your teeth and plan the exact movement of each one, so the aligners fit precisely.

Custom aligner sequence

You receive a short series of clear trays and wear each set for a set number of days before moving to the next.

Progress monitoring

We check at review visits that the teeth are following the plan and the timeline still holds.

Final alignment review

After the last tray we review the alignment and bite, then fit retainers to hold the result.

How we plan the movement

We plan with 3D imaging, which lets us show you a preview of the planned movement before you begin. Your treatment is managed by Dr Papagalani, specialist orthodontist.

Express is one of five Invisalign courses we provide, alongside Invisalign Full, Invisalign Lite, Invisalign Teen and Invisalign First.

Patient evidence

What patients tell us matters

Patients tell us they value a calm, unhurried manner and honest options with no pressure to proceed. For adolescents who need a similar discreet approach, we provide Invisalign Teen.

Clear answers on your treatment

What is Invisalign Express?

A short course of clear aligners for minor crowding or spacing. For moderate cases we provide Invisalign Lite.

Is Invisalign Express cheaper?

It uses fewer aligners than the longer courses, and the fee reflects the number needed for your case. We confirm the fee at your clinical assessment.

How long does it take?

It depends on your goals and how your teeth respond. You get an estimated timeline at your consultation.

Find out whether a short course fits

The specialist orthodontist assesses your alignment and goals at your first visit and confirms whether you are a candidate. You can learn what happens at your orthodontic consultation and how to book. Our wider range of orthodontics in London covers cases that need more movement.
