Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about a straighter, more confident smile? You’re not alone. Whether it’s something you’ve always wanted, or a recent decision sparked by a big life event, clear aligners are helping more people than ever reach the best results possible for their smiles.
At mydentist, we offer a wide range of teeth straightening treatments across our 500+ modern practices in the UK – including clear aligners and other orthodontic options such as fixed braces and cosmetic systems. Whether you’re looking for something subtle and removable, or a more comprehensive treatment plan, our team is here to help you find what works best for you.
Here’s what you need to know about the options available and how we’ll support you every step of the way.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are an alternative to fixed braces, designed to straighten your teeth gently and discreetly over time. They’re made from thin, transparent plastic and are custom made to fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll typically wear each aligner for one to two weeks before switching to the next in the series, with each set making small adjustments until your teeth move into their new position. Learn all about clear aligners and how they work on our blog.
Are clear aligners invisible?
If discretion is a top priority, clear aligners are a brilliant option. They’re virtually invisible, comfortable to wear and can be taken out for eating and brushing. But not everyone is suitable for every type of treatment, so your mydentist clinician will always check your suitability before you begin – and recommend the option that’s right for your individual needs.
It’s also worth noting that available treatments may vary by practice, so we’ll talk you through everything you need to know at your first consultation.
ClearCorrect is a modern clear aligner system designed to gently move your teeth into a straighter position over time. Made from smooth, stain-resistant plastic, the aligners are almost invisible when worn and can be removed to eat, drink and brush your teeth.
This treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate misalignment, including crowding, spacing or bite issues – and treatment time typically takes between 6 and 18 months. You’ll change your aligners every 1–3 weeks and your dentist will keep track of your progress at regular check-ups.
Invisalign is one of the most well-known clear aligner brands – and for good reason. Each aligner is custom-made using 3D technology to fit your teeth precisely and gently guide them into position.
Suitable for everything from minor spacing to more complex movements, Invisalign is a flexible and discreet option for many adults and teens.
At mydentist, Invisalign treatment is available through our comprehensive finance options*, making it more affordable than you might think.
