Trusted by our patients
I have just completed my Invisalign journey with Dr Anmol Bal and I am so happy with the results! Anmol is extremely friendly and thorough, the whole process was seamless. I highly recommend her.
I was looking at getting Invisalign done and came across Natural Smiles. I couldn't be more happier with choosing them. The team are so so lovely any questions I have they answer straight away and are amazing with getting back to me. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you to Dr Anmol Bal for my Invisalign treatment. Being a person who feels so uncomfortable to smile she's made me feel confident again. As I approach the end of my Invisalign treatment, I am really happy with how the results are turning out. Thank you once again to Anmol and Natural Smiles for their fantastic service! Definitely recommend this practice to all!
I've had my Invisalign treatment here at Natural Smiles with Dr Bal. I am really happy with the way my teeth are looking now. Everyone is really friendly — nurses, dentists and reception team.
Dr Raja and his team are fantastic. I had Invisalign just a few months before I got married and I love the result. I can now smile with confidence. I cannot thank Dr Raja enough for ensuring that the whole process was smooth and I had the desired result before my big day. I would 100% recommend Natural Smiles to everyone.
I would like to thank Anubha and Aman at Natural Smiles Leicester. I have just finished my Invisalign treatment. I am happy with my treatment, the practice staff are friendly and bubbly. I felt at ease in their care, they delivered in helping me achieve the smile I have always wanted.
Dr Raja is an amazing dentist who is great at explaining things and does not make you feel under pressure to go ahead with any treatment. It is the cleanest dentist I have ever been to and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. They have a TV on the ceiling so you can watch whatever you want while having your treatment too! I am having Invisalign and am really happy with the treatment I am receiving. Thank you!
Thank you to Anubha and the rest of the team at Natural Smiles Leicester for a great experience. I have just come to the end of my Invisalign treatment and am very pleased with my teeth! There were many options out there but what impressed me the most was the level of care and detail Anubha showed in my initial consultation which really stood out for me and made me feel comfortable. As well as a competitive price, this was the key factor as to why I chose Natural Smiles - and I was not disappointed! Thanks.

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of custom-made, removable clear plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into a planned final position. Each aligner is slightly different from the last, applying gentle pressure to specific teeth at specific times. You wear each set for 1-2 weeks, then swap to the next.
Over the course of treatment - typically 6 to 18 months - your teeth shift into the position designed during your initial planning, all without metal wires, brackets or visible orthodontic work.
Choosing the right Invisalign treatment for you
Not every smile needs the full treatment. Invisalign offers three main tiers, each priced and designed for different levels of correction.
Invisalign i7
Designed for very minor adjustments - usually 7 aligners or fewer. Ideal for small front tooth corrections, minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment, or small refinements before cosmetic work like veneers or composite bonding. Treatment is typically completed in around 3 months.
Invisalign Lite
Suitable for mild to moderate cases - typically up to 14 aligners. Great for cases needing a bit more movement than i7 can handle, but where full comprehensive treatment isn't necessary. Treatment usually takes around 6-9 months.
Invisalign Comprehensive
The full Invisalign experience, with as many aligners as your case needs. Suitable for almost any case Invisalign can treat - from significant crowding to bite corrections. Treatment time varies based on your specific case, usually 12-18 months.
What Invisalign can treat
Invisalign offers a discreet and effective way to improve both the appearance and function of your smile. During your consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your goals, assess your teeth, and determine whether Invisalign is the right solution for you.

How your Invisalign treatment unfolds
From your first consultation to your final retainer, the journey is straightforward.
1. Free consultation with our treatment coordinator
A relaxed chat about what you'd like to change, whether Invisalign is right for you, and the likely timeline and cost. £20 refundable deposit secures the appointment.
2. Detailed clinical assessment
Full examination with 3D iTero scanning, photographs and any X-rays needed.
3. Your digital ClinCheck preview
Invisalign's planning software lets us show you a video of your teeth moving from where they are now to where they'll end up - before any aligners are made. You can see your future smile and approve the plan.
4. Aligner manufacture and fitting
Once approved, your aligners are produced and we'll fit you with your first set, talking through wear time, cleaning and what to expect.
5. Treatment progression
You'll change aligners every 1-2 weeks at home, with check-in appointments every 6-8 weeks for monitoring.
6. Retention - protecting your result
Once your teeth are straight, retainers keep them there. We'll go through your retainer options and how to keep your smile straight long-term.
Invisalign vs Spark - how do they compare?
Both Invisalign and Spark are excellent clear aligner systems. Invisalign has the deepest clinical database and the longest track record - making it our usual recommendation for more complex cases. Spark has slightly clearer material and better stain resistance, making it our recommendation for some cosmetic-focused cases. We offer both and will recommend the one that genuinely suits your case best.

Frequently asked questions
Is Invisalign really invisible?
Virtually, yes. The aligners are made of clear plastic and most people in normal conversation won't notice them. They're a far more discreet option than traditional fixed braces.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
It depends on your case. Simple i7 cases can finish in 3 months. Lite is typically 6-9 months. Comprehensive cases usually run 12-18 months. We'll give you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients describe pressure rather than pain - particularly in the first few days of each new aligner. This is the gentle force moving your teeth and it's a good sign treatment is working. It usually settles within 2-3 days.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes - you just need to take your aligners out to eat and drink anything other than water. Brush your teeth before putting them back in. This is actually one of the biggest advantages over fixed braces, which have lots of food restrictions.
What happens if I don't wear my aligners enough?
They simply won't work as planned. Invisalign needs 20-22 hours a day of wear to move your teeth predictably. Patchy wear is the most common cause of slow or stalled treatment. The good news is that compliance is entirely in your hands.
Will I need attachments on my teeth?
Often, yes. Small tooth-coloured composite attachments are bonded to specific teeth to help the aligners grip and move them more effectively. They're virtually invisible and removed at the end of treatment with no damage to the tooth.
Will I need retainers forever?
In one form or another, yes. Teeth naturally try to drift over time, so long-term retention - usually a fixed wire behind your front teeth, removable retainers at night, or both - is what protects your result for life. We'll explain your options clearly.
Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?
Yes - Invisalign offers a specific teen treatment, although we primarily treat adult patients at Natural Smiles. We can discuss whether your child's case is appropriate at consultation, or refer to a specialist if needed.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most cases take between 4 and 12 months, depending on how much movement is needed. Some minor cases finish sooner.
Are clear aligners painful?
Most patients describe mild pressure for a day or two after changing aligners. This settles quickly.
Will anyone notice I'm wearing them?
Clear aligners are designed to be discreet. Most people won't notice them in everyday conversation.
How often do I need to wear them?
Around 20-22 hours a day for best results. They're removed for eating, drinking and cleaning.
Do I need retainers afterwards?
Yes. Retainers are essential to hold your new alignment and prevent relapse. Without them, teeth gradually drift back towards where they started.
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
Most people are suitable, but not every case is. Complex bite problems, gum disease or teeth needing restorative work first can change the plan. We'll tell you honestly at your consultation if aligners aren't the right approach, and what is.

Am I too old for clear aligners?
No. A lot of our aligner patients are in their thirties, forties and fifties, and most say the same thing - they wish they'd done it years ago. Teeth move at any age, as long as the gums and bone underneath are healthy.
What's the difference between clear aligners here and the ones you order online?
This is the part mail-order aligner companies skip. Posting an impression kit to a lab means no scan, no X-rays and no clinician looking at your bite before your teeth start moving. Every case at Natural Smiles is assessed in person, planned from an iTero scan, and reviewed by your clinician at each stage - which matters when teeth are being moved permanently.
