Over the years, Invisalign has transformed drastically to embrace digital technology and improve their product which is by far and away the best on the market (our opinion having used all of the copycats!). There are now several Invisalign products available to dentists which brings us to Invisalign Lite. The Lite version is specifically for mild to moderate crowding with treatment time frames of around 6-8 months. Within the package, there are 14 initial aligners to correct the main crowding issues. After this first set, we have the opportunity to fine tune any crowding using refinement aligners. As of October 2021, Invisalign Lite allows 2 sets of refinements of 14 aligners within each package. This provides us with ample scope for adjustments and minor corrections.
How Does Invisalign Lite Work?
The process is seamless. Initially, after a full comprehensive examination, we will take 3-D scans of your mouth, x rays and photographs. Once we have deemed the mouth healthy, you are ready to start the journey. We will send the records to Invisalign who will then provide us with a Clincheck video. This will show us a projection before and after Invisalign an how long treatment will possibly take. We will also see where attachments are needed and if space is required between the teeth which is called IPR- interproximal reduction. This will be checked by our expert dentists and modifications made so that the optimal result can be reached. Once we are both happy, approval can be given and the aligners will be ready to fit within 2 weeks usually.
Before And After Invisalign Lite

The Cost of Invisalign Lite
Our Invisalign Lite package includes treatment for both upper and lower teeth, final fixed and removable retainers, a tooth whitening pack and cosmetic contouring of any uneven edges. The overall fee is just £3000. Compared to the cost of fixed braces, this is incredibly good value for money!
