If you’re in WD6 and weighing up a fifteen-minute drive, the fair question is what Invisalign asks of you, and whether it’s worth the trip. Here’s what’s involved.
The time commitment
The number that matters is 20–22 hours a day. Not “most of the day.” Aligners work by applying continuous gentle force; take them out for a long lunch and a long dinner and a couple of coffees, and you’ve lost hours of force. The teeth then don’t move on schedule. When treatment overruns, it’s usually because the aligners were worn less than the patient thought.
In practice they come out to eat and to drink anything other than water, then you brush and they go straight back in. It changes how you snack. That’s the biggest adjustment, and the one most people underestimate.
Appointments, and how we batch them for WD6
You’ll change aligners at home roughly weekly. In-practice reviews come around every 8 weeks, and they’re short: ten or fifteen minutes to check tracking and hand over the next batch.
For a Borehamwood or Elstree patient, that’s the main logistical question. We’ll give you several sets of aligners at a time where the case allows, put your reviews on a Saturday or Sunday, and batch anything else you need (a hygiene appointment, a check-up) into the same visit. Across a case running typically around 9 months that’s a handful of trips down the A5, not a weekly commute.
Your Invisalign treatment, step by step
Free Consultation & Scan
We assess your teeth, take a free iTero 3D scan (no putty impressions) and show you a simulation of your possible result the same day.
Plan & Quote
Dr Ali designs your tooth movements digitally. You’ll know the number of aligners, the likely timescale and your exact fixed fee in writing before anything begins.
Your Aligners
We fit your first set and place any small tooth-coloured attachments. You wear each aligner 20–22 hours a day, with short reviews every 8 weeks or so.
Refine & Retain
Any final refinements are made, attachments come off, and we fit your retainers to hold your teeth where they now are.
What treatment involves that nobody mentions in the ads
- Attachments. Small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to some teeth so the aligners have something to grip and can perform rotations. They’re removed at the end. They’re visible close up, and they’re what patients are most often surprised by.
- IPR. Polishing a fraction of a millimetre of enamel between teeth to create space for them to move into. It’s comfortable and routine, and far better than taking a tooth out. We’ll tell you if it’s in your plan.
- A lisp, for about a week. Then it goes.
- Retainers, for life. Not optional. We include both removable and fixed.

Invisalign in Borehamwood & Elstree FAQs
How many appointments will I need if I’m travelling from Borehamwood?
Fewer than you’d think. Aligners change at home roughly weekly; in-practice reviews are every 8 weeks or so and take ten to fifteen minutes. We batch aligner handovers and put reviews on Saturdays or Sundays, so a typical case means a handful of trips.
How long does Invisalign take?
It depends on the case. Invisalign Go Express (£1,495) is typically around 3 months, Invisalign Go (£2,495) typically around 6 months, and Invisalign Go Plus (£2,995) typically around 9 months. Complex cases are quoted after assessment and referred on.
How many hours a day do I have to wear Invisalign?
20–22 hours. They come out only to eat and to drink anything other than water. That’s the biggest adjustment, and when a case overruns it’s usually because they were worn less than that.
What are Invisalign attachments?
Small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to some teeth so the aligners can grip and perform rotations. They’re removed at the end of treatment, but they’re visible up close. Patients are most often surprised by this, so we mention it early.
