I recently went in for a filling after cracking mine, and from the moment I booked my appointment with Rosa and Jo, I knew I’d made the right choice. They were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Like most people, I was a bit apprehensive about visiting the dentist, but Dr. Patel and hygienist Alex made the whole experience smooth, comfortable, and completely painless. I can’t recommend this dental clinic enough!
How Invisalign works
Your aligners gently apply controlled pressure to your teeth. This gradual movement helps guide your teeth into their desired position over time.
The initial steps
At the start of treatment, we take digital scans and impressions of your teeth. This allows us to plan the precise movements needed to straighten your smile.
Regular updates
You will receive a new set of aligners every few weeks. Each aligner makes small adjustments, gradually improving the position of your teeth.
Seeing results
Many patients begin to notice changes within the first few weeks of treatment, showing that the aligners are working as planned.
Wearing your aligners
You will be given a new aligner every few weeks as part of your personalised plan. Each aligner is worn for around two weeks before progressing to the next stage.
The total number of aligners depends on your individual treatment needs. This ensures your results are tailored specifically to your smile.
Fixed braces
How fixed braces work
Fixed braces are a reliable orthodontic option used to gradually move teeth into the correct position.
Small brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with a wire. This wire applies gentle pressure, guiding your teeth into alignment over time.
Regular adjustments
You will typically visit us every four to ten weeks so we can monitor your progress and make adjustments to your braces.
Additional support
In some cases, springs or elastic bands may be used to assist tooth movement and improve results.

Top quality professionals, reasonable prices! Super welcoming and efficient staff with Johanna's kindness making it much nicer! And... top quality doctor! I'm normally a bit nervous when going to the dentist, but Dr. Jack Johnson was incredibly professional, accurate and delicate in his assesment of my situation and his answers, he was also so patient, that I really felt at ease!

Fabulous dental practice! I called with tooth pain and was able to book an emergency appointment that morning. I've since had 2 wisdom teeth removed (within the space of a month) and the whole team was extremely kind and accommodating throughout. The receptionists, Rosa and Joanna, were so friendly and definitely helped calm nerves pre- and post-tooth removal. Dr Jack was very comforting when explaining the process and answering any questions I had, and made the whole procedure painless (and extremely swift). As someone with a terrible fear of needles and embarrassingly low pain tolerance, I can confidently say this place worked miracles! Thank you all :)
Chelsea Smith
Great experience! I was seen at very short notice after my fixed retainer became unstuck, the dentist I saw was very helpful and informative. The receptionist was also very warm and friendly, I would definitely recommend!
Gwen Mitchell
Everyone is lovely and so understanding. The receptionists (shout out to Jo and Rosa) are friendly and really do their best to put you at ease. They have an option of being shown round and introduced to people before any work which I've never been offered before. Dr Frances is a calming presence and worked hard to put fears and my embarrassment to rest. I have fibromyalgia and issues with jaw pain. They did their best to work around my issues and not trigger ongoing pain. I would definitely recommend them to anyone like me with bad previous experiences which trigger severe anxiety.
Frequently asked questions in Bloomsbury, WC1H
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position over time. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth precisely and is worn for around twenty to twenty-two hours a day, swapping to a new set approximately every one to two weeks as your teeth move. Because they're virtually invisible and removable, they fit around your lifestyle in a way that fixed braces simply can't.
Is Invisalign suitable for me?
Invisalign can treat a wide range of alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites and crossbites. It's particularly popular with adults and professionals who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. The best way to find out whether it's right for you is to book an orthodontic consultation with our team, where we'll assess your teeth and talk you through your options honestly.
How much does Invisalign cost in London?
The cost of Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners required. We'll give you a clear, written breakdown of costs following your consultation and iTero scan so you know exactly what's involved before committing to anything. Flexible finance options are also available on treatments from £1000 to help spread the cost.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length depends on how much movement is needed. Simpler cases can be completed in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take twelve to eighteen months or longer. Your clinician will give you a realistic timeline as part of your treatment plan from the outset.
Who will carry out my Invisalign treatment at Tavistock Dental?
Invisalign and teeth straightening treatment at Tavistock Dental is carried out by our experienced dental team. At your consultation, we will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment option for your smile.
How is Invisalign different from other clear aligners?
Invisalign is one of the most established and widely researched clear aligner systems in the world. We also offer alternative aligner systems including Spark and Angel Aligners, which may be more suitable depending on your specific needs. We'll talk you through the differences at your consultation and recommend the best option for your teeth and your goals.
What happens at my Invisalign consultation?
Your consultation is thirty minutes with your clinician, during which we'll assess your teeth, discuss your goals and take an iTero digital scan of your mouth if you'd like to proceed. The iTero scan allows us to show you a preview of how your teeth could look after treatment - before you've even started. You'll then receive a personalised treatment plan with full costs outlined.
Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?
Yes - this is one of the biggest advantages of clear aligners over fixed braces. You simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, so there are no food restrictions whatsoever. Just make sure you brush your teeth before putting them back in.
