My 13th year old son recently completed his Invisalign treatment at the Sutton Orthodontics clinic and we found that everything was perfect. The staff at the practice is extremely friendly and also accomodating. In particular, Dr Arya was very clear, patient and extremely professional in explaining to my son all the different steps he needed to go through and Melanie was always very helful in booking us in at the most convenient times as well as very quick at responding when we needed any clarification or help. The Invisalign treatment itself is seamless, pain free and producing great results in a short period of time. We would not hesitate to recommend Invisalign and the Sutton Orthontics clinic to anyone!

Dr Arya and her team have treated both myself and my daughter. I had private Invisalign treatment in my 40s after not having a brace previously and my daughter had braces on the NHS. Dr Arya and her team have been absolutely fantastic every step of the way with both of us and I can't speak highly enough of their professionalism. My daughter has had problems with her teeth since she was born and she is now delighted with the results and has a beautiful smile. Thank you to Dr Arya and her team for transforming our smiles :) I'm waiting for my youngest daughter to be reviewed in September so hopefully we'll see you again soon!

I highly recommend Sutton Orthodontics.My treatment was quite complex and after 18months of wearing a fixed brace and rubber bands, which was quite challenging, I finally got to the end..It was well worth it as I am delighted with the result.I wish I had done it sooner!Dr Arya and her team were fantastic and I will miss going to see them all…So, if you’re thinking of having your teeth straightened, go and have a consultation, and if you decide to go ahead, you will not be disappointed.. 😃

Sutton Orthodontics have been fantastic throughout both my daughter’s treatment. They have been very flexible with appointments and if any issues have come up along the way the reception team have helped us quickly to book an appointment and the orthodontists have quickly resolved them and both my daughter’s teeth look amazing now. We are very grateful and would recommend them to everyone. Thank you so much!

It’s always been my dream to close the gap in my teeth.I thought this was impossible since I'm not a teenager or younger, as I was told by my dentist.I came across Sutton orthodontist by chance when my daughter was getting her teeth fixed.I asked the dentist if it would be possible to get mine fixed as well, and the answer was a big yes.They’ve done an amazing job I can smile with great confidence now.My teeth hygiene has vastly improved since I started my invisalign journey with Sutton Orthodontist.I highly recommend them.

From the first to the last consultancy with Dr. Arya and her team, everything was explained so clearly. I have just completed my Invisalign journey with Sutton Orthodontics and I am delighted with the result. All the way through, I had complete confidence and knew I was in the best possible hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Arya and her team. Everyone was so professional and pleasant throughout the whole process and I am going to miss not seeing them. I am the third member of my family to have treatment at this practice and we are all very happy with our new smiles.Thank you everyone!Alison x

To be honest, Sutton Orthodontics was a really stress free experience. I was doing an invisalign treatment and it was pain free and easy to manage. My mouth has changed so much that it was unrecognisable. My teeth were all straight and my mouth had more space. Sutton Orthodontics did a real good job! The staff are really kind and helpful and Dr. Arya was especially good. The whole thing was great!

I decided to get braces when I turned 40 as I never had them before and I have never been happy with my teeth. Well, now they are looking so straight and we would not have got there without the tireless work of Dr Arya and her team. I had fixed braces which were best for my teeth. The reception staff are efficient and helpful and I was kept informed throughout my journey. Anyone thinking about it I can recommend Sutton Orthodontics.

Very disappointing to hear that we are expected to make full payment even before the appointment is booked. Full payment before booking the appointment ensures surgery get the complete control on the transaction and nothing in the safety of patients- Thanks Team for the follow up and being flexible and treating my son. We had good experience

Mostly excellent service, the orthodontists are wonderful and very professional. One star removed as one of the receptionists is quite rude and has a poor attitude, on the phone and face to face and needs proper training for a facing customer role. The other receptionist is extremely helpful and polite.

My experience with Sutton Orthadontics has been amazing. All the staff, receptionists and orthodontists are so welcoming and lovely. I have never gone with out an appointment or not been able to book in. Every time I went to my appointment I was almost always seen on time, and on the rare occasion I’d have to wait 5 minutes it was fine because they’re waiting room is lovely aswell haha.I had braces fitted just over 3 years ago and recently had them removed and my teeth look so nice and perfectly straight. I trusted every person who looked at my brace or tightened it, they never hurt and are always very conscious to wether or not they might be hurting you which I didn’t experience elsewhere.I’d recommend Sutton orthadontics to anyone they’re brilliant!

So pleased I used Sutton Orthodontics. Initially visited for my daughter but sought my own consultation and started realignment treatment. So pleased I had it done and love my smile. Had looked like I had a tooth missing but now looks great with a fixed retainer keeping teeth in place. Well worth the short time with a brace. All the consultants and staff were helpful, friendly and professional. I highly recommend the practice.

Unlike fixed orthodontic treatments, the Invisalign® system works by repositioning teeth little by little, using a series of custom-made transparent plastic ‘aligners’.

They are tailor-made to each person’s prescription so that they fit perfectly and correct the alignment of the teeth over a period of months. They are changed in two weekly increments to an aligner of a slightly different shape and size, moving the teeth little by little towards their final desired position. The Invisalign® aligners are worn for an optimal period of 22 hours a day but, because they are removable, wearers can take them out for short periods, including when they want to eat or drink.

And, by utilising our in-house iTero scanner, we not only provide a high quality visualisation opportunity for patients with an image of what their teeth will look like before and after orthodontic treatment, it also means quicker turnaround times and perfectly fitting aligners.

It is also good to know that thanks to advances in the Invisalign® system, we can sometimes offer one-week aligner wear instead of the recommended two-week changes, which means shorter treatment time by up to 50% faster.

We will be able to advise if this is possible at your initial consultation with the Specialist Orthodontist.

Retention – how to keep your new straight smile forever

Once you have completed your orthodontic treatment, we will fit you for a retainer in order to keep your newly straightened teeth in alignment. One of the biggest myths of wearing braces is that, following treatment, your teeth will simply stay where we moved them. Unfortunately, this is not the case and the consensus recommendation is that retention is for life. Teeth have a tendency to move– either due to relapse, mesial drift, changes in the jaw itself, or even problems with gums in later years. A retainer will prevent this from happening.

Did you know that many of our adult patients with crooked teeth who are now seeking orthodontic treatment wore braces as a teenager? This is usually due to the fact that they did not wear their retainer, or it broke and they never replaced or repaired it. For this reason, we tell all our patients, especially teenagers, that wearing their retainer should be considered a long-term investment in their straight smile. In fact, retention is just as important as the process involved in getting your teeth straight in the first place.

At Sutton Orthodontics, we provide removable and fixed retainers, which are manufactured by our trusted orthodontic laboratory. Fixed retainers are made from a very thin piece of wire that are permanently affixed with bonding material to the back of your teeth. They are invisible when you smile, so nobody need know that you are wearing them and take away the risk factor of you forgetting to pop in a removable retainer. However, they do need to be carefully monitored by your general dentist who will monitor your care of the retainer, their continued effectiveness and related oral health issues.

With a quick turnaround time, we ensure we avoid any tooth movement following completion of your teeth-straightening treatment. Created from impressions or scans taken in clinic, the fit of each retainer is excellent – even the fixed retainers adapt well to the teeth, ensuring longevity. All patients who have fixed retainers also have removable retainers as back ups. For a long-term investment, speak to us about our retention recommendations – a retainer will ensure your healthy straight smile lasts you a lifetime.

What can Invisalign® fix?

Crowded teeth

Over crowded teeth can get worse over time, If left untreated, overly crowded teeth can trap food. Trapped food is harder to clean away, and this can lead to plague formation decay and gum disease.

Gaps between teeth

Spacing issues and gaps between teeth are traps for food and bacteria. This increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease

Under bite

This can prevent the normal function of your front teeth or molars, and can lead to tooth wear. It can also cause jaw-joint related pain.

Open bite

Open bites can cause poor or painful chewing and in some cases speech impairment

Over bite

An over bite can cause wear on your lower teeth, chipped or fractured front teeth, gum irritation and pain in your jaw joints

Crossbite

Crossbites can cause one or more of the upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth. This can cause tooth wear, gum diseases and bone loss.

Your Invisalign Doctor may also talk to you about how quickly you could reach your new smile, as well as your individual treatment cost. *treatment cost can placed/linked on the Practice’s page*

Your Invisalign Doctor will most likely recommend scheduling a dental check-up and cleaning before you begin Invisalign treatment, to make sure your teeth and gums are in top health and to avoid unnecessary risks.

How long will treatment take?

The length of treatment depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. Your Invisalign Doctor will determine exactly how long your treatment could take based on your specific needs. On average, Invisalign treatment time is 12 to 18 months2, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

How often will I change my Invisalign aligners?

Your Invisalign Doctor will tell you how often you should change to new Invisalign aligners (this can vary based on your individual treatment plan). Many Invisalign Doctors recommend changing Invisalign clear aligners weekly or every other week.

How often will I have appointments with my Invisalign Doctor?

Your Invisalign Doctor will schedule regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits is to ensure your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.

My Invisalign Doctor mentioned “attachments”. What are they and why would I need them for my Invisalign treatment?

Your Invisalign treatment may require SmartForce attachments, small tooth-coloured shapes that are attached to your teeth.

These shapes serve as handles, giving the aligners something to gently push on in order to move your teeth with the right amount of force, and are what make complex tooth movements possible without braces. Invisalign clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they’re barely noticeable.

While not everyone who uses Invisalign clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments, if you need them, your Invisalign Doctor will attach them to your teeth at the start of or during your treatment and remove them when they are no longer needed.
