A lot of people put off booking an Invisalign consultation simply because they don't know what it involves. Will someone try to sell you a treatment plan on the spot? Do you need X-rays straight away? Is it going to be uncomfortable? None of that uncertainty is helpful when you're already weighing up whether straightening your teeth as an adult is worth it.
So here's the honest version. This is exactly what happens when you book an Invisalign consultation with us in Kettering, from the moment you make contact to the point you'd actually start treatment, so you can walk in already knowing what to expect.
You'll book your first appointment online, and a refundable £30 deposit holds your slot. This first meeting is with our treatment coordinator, not the dentist, and it runs for around 45 minutes. That might sound like a long time for a first chat, but it's deliberate. Straightening your teeth is a decision most people only make once, and rushing it helps nobody.
During this appointment, our treatment coordinator will talk through what's bothering you about your smile, what you're hoping to change, and what your day to day life looks like, because that affects which options suit you. You'll see examples of other cases similar to your own, and if the dentist is free, they'll often pop in to say hello and answer any clinical questions directly.
This is also the point where cost and payment plans get discussed properly, including our flexible payment options, so there are no surprises later. What doesn't happen at this stage is a scan or set of photos; we simply don't have the treatment room set up for that during this first conversation, so that part comes next.
If you decide to move forward, you'll book a second appointment, this time with the dentist, lasting around 40 minutes. The treatment coordinator hands over to the clinical team, who take digital scans using our iTero scanners, along with any necessary X-rays and photos, and carry out a full clinical assessment.
Once that's done, you're handed back to the treatment coordinator, who walks you through the treatment plan itself and the payment options in more detail. By the end of this appointment you'll know roughly how long treatment will take, what it involves, and what it costs, with nothing left vague.
Invisalign works well for crowding, gaps, and mild to moderate bite issues, and it's a genuinely good option for adults who don't want the visible look of fixed braces. It's currently offered for teenagers and adults; we don't provide aligner treatment for younger children, for whom our ceramic and metal braces or a functional appliance are usually more appropriate, and our dentist has been practising orthodontics for more than 30 years across all of these options.
If your case is more complex, our treatment coordinator will be upfront about that during your first appointment rather than waiting until you've already committed.
Booking a consultation doesn't commit you to treatment. It gives you an honest answer about whether Invisalign will work for your teeth, what it will cost, and how long it will take, from a team that's currently treating aligner cases every month. Book your initial appointment online today.
There's a refundable £30 deposit to secure your first appointment, which goes towards your treatment if you decide to go ahead.
No. Your first appointment is a conversation with our treatment coordinator. Scans, X-rays and photos happen at the follow up clinical consultation with the dentist.
We currently offer Invisalign for teenagers and adults rather than younger children, for whom fixed appliances are typically a better fit. Our team can advise on the right option at your consultation.
This varies depending on how much movement your teeth need, and your dentist will give you a specific estimate once your scans and assessment are complete.
