Invisalign clear aligners at Lye Dental and Implant Centre

Invisalign® in Stourbridge

Braces?
No thanks.

Invisalign® straightens your teeth with clear, removable aligners, so you can sort your smile without anyone spotting a thing.

Clear aligners

Straight teeth,
quietly.

A series of clear, custom-made aligners that gently move your teeth into place. You swap them every week or two, and slowly your smile changes.

Invisalign® /ɪnˈvɪz.ə.laɪn/ Noun
  • A system of clear, removable aligners that straighten teeth gradually, worn over the teeth and changed every week or two.

  • A discreet alternative to braces, with no metal wires or brackets, and nothing fixed to your teeth.

  • A planned course of treatment, mapped out digitally from the start, so you can see the result before you begin.

Removable, but only if you wear them. Around 22 hours a day is what makes it work.

22 Hours a day worn
7 Problems it can fix See them
  • Crowding — teeth overlapping for want of room

  • Gaps — spaces you would rather close

  • Overbite — top teeth covering the bottom too far

  • And more — crossbite, underbite, open bite

Why it matters

Nobody needs
to know.

Straightening your teeth as an adult used to mean a mouth full of metal for two years. Invisalign® changed that entirely.

Invisalign aligners being worn at Lye Dental in Stourbridge

Clear, removable, comfortable.

Virtually invisible

The aligners are clear and fit snugly over your teeth. In photos, in meetings, across a table, most people will not have the faintest idea you are wearing them.

They come out

Eat what you like, brush and floss normally, take them out for a big occasion. Fixed braces let you do none of that. This is the difference most people notice.

No metal, no scraping

No brackets glued to your teeth, no wires digging into your cheek, no emergency visits for a snapped bracket. Just smooth, comfortable plastic.

You see the end at the start

Because it is planned digitally, we can show you a preview of your finished smile before you commit to a single aligner. You know what you are buying.

What it fixes

More than you
might think.

Invisalign® is not only for a few crooked teeth. It handles most of the things braces were traditionally used for. Tap yours to see it.

Crowding illustration
Not enough room

Crowding

When there is not enough space, teeth twist and overlap to fit. It traps plaque in the crevices, which makes decay and gum problems more likely.

One of the most common reasons people choose Invisalign®.

Overbite illustration
Top teeth too far forward

Overbite

The upper front teeth sit too far over the lower ones. Left alone it can wear the lower teeth down and strain the jaw.

Underbite illustration
Lower teeth in front

Underbite

The lower teeth sit in front of the upper ones. It can make chewing harder and, over time, wear the teeth unevenly.

Crossbite illustration
Teeth biting the wrong way

Crossbite

Some upper teeth sit inside the lower ones when you bite. This can cause uneven wear and, in some cases, the gum to recede.

Open bite illustration
Front teeth do not meet

Open bite

The upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the back teeth are together, which makes biting into things surprisingly tricky.

Deep bite illustration
Lower teeth hidden

Deep bite

The upper front teeth cover the lower ones too much, sometimes almost completely. It can wear the teeth and irritate the gums.

Gaps illustration
Too much space

Gaps

Spacing between the teeth, whether from small teeth, a large jaw, or missing teeth. Easy to close, and often the quickest to treat.

Digital scanning

See your new smile
before you start.

We use the iTero scanner to build a precise 3D map of your teeth in minutes. No cold putty, no messy impression trays, just a small wand and a few gentle passes around your mouth.

From that scan, Invisalign®’s planning software generates a full simulation. You see exactly how your teeth will move at each stage, and what the final result will look like, before you commit to anything.

How it works

How Invisalign® works.

From first scan to final smile, here is the whole journey.

01 / 04

A scan and a plan

We scan your teeth with the iTero digital scanner, no putty, no gagging. Then we map out exactly how your teeth will move, and show you the result.

02 / 04

Your aligners arrive

Your custom aligners are made to that plan. We fit the first set, check they feel right, and send you off with several sets to change at home.

03 / 04

You wear and swap

Wear them around 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat and clean. Every week or two you move to the next set, and your teeth follow.

04 / 04

We keep it that way

Once your teeth are where we want them, a retainer holds them there. Straight teeth drift back without one, so this part matters.

The honest comparison

Invisalign® or
braces?

Fixed braces still have their place, particularly for very complex cases. For most people, though, Invisalign® does the same job more comfortably.
