Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Invisalign Full is the unrestricted Invisalign course, used for crowding, spacing and bite corrections that need a full series of clear aligners. Your suitability and expected treatment time are assessed at your first consultation.
Clinician: Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487).
Crowded, rotated or spaced teeth, or a bite that does not meet properly, usually need more movement than a short aligner course can deliver. As part of our orthodontics in London, Invisalign Full has no cap on the number of aligners, so the plan can run for as long as the movement needs. Because the aligners are removable, they irritate the cheeks and lips less than fixed brackets. Dr Papagalani assesses at your first visit whether a full course is needed or a shorter one will do.
Choosing the wrong aligner course is an avoidable setback: a short course cannot finish a case that needed a full one. We plan diagnosis first, so the course matches the movement your teeth need. If a full course is not required, we can discuss Invisalign Express for shorter corrections. If you would rather have a fixed appliance, we also provide self-ligating braces.
Fees are itemised before you commit, so you know what is included before you see the total.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Adults and older teenagers who want to correct their teeth without visible wires, and who can wear aligners for the prescribed hours each day. It is the discreet alternative to fixed or lingual braces for cases that need a full course. For adolescents we provide Invisalign Teen. After treatment, orthodontic retainers hold the result.
If dental visits make you anxious, say so when you book; we take the appointment at your pace. The specialist orthodontist examines your teeth and jaw alignment at the consultation, confirms whether this system fits your case and sets a timeline.
We scan your teeth and decide whether you need the full series or a shorter course. For younger children, the equivalent is Invisalign First.
Your aligners are made to the digital plan, each set moving the teeth a small step further. We explain the expected timeline and the possible complications before you start.
You wear each set for the prescribed hours each day and change to the next set on schedule. We check at review visits that the teeth are tracking to the plan.
Near the end of the series we review the alignment and bite, and order refinement aligners if any tooth has not reached its planned position.
We fit retainers to stop the teeth drifting back. Fees for the full process are set out on our orthodontics costs in London page.
We plan with 3D imaging, which lets us show you a preview of the planned movement before you begin. Your care is led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist.
Invisalign Full is one of several Invisalign courses we provide; Invisalign Lite, Teen and First cover moderate, adolescent and early cases, and Invisalign Express covers minor corrections and slight relapse.
The fee is set after your clinical assessment, when we know how much movement your case needs, and you receive an itemised quote.
It depends on the complexity of your case. You get an estimated timeline once we have examined your teeth and planned the movement.
You may feel pressure for a day or two after changing to a new aligner. That is the aligner doing its work; it usually settles.
As long as you wear your retainers as instructed. Our orthodontic aftercare guide explains what that involves.
Whether Invisalign Full is the right choice depends on your bite and alignment, which we assess at your orthodontic consultation. If you are comparing practices, we can explain how a full course differs from the shorter ones.
