Invisalign Express: the short course

Invisalign Express is the name for the shortest Invisalign course: a small number of aligners for minor front-teeth problems. It suits people whose teeth were straight once and have drifted since their braces came off, or who have one or two crooked front teeth, a small gap, or slight crowding that bothers them in photos. Full, moderate and lite courses all exist for bigger jobs; express is for the small ones.

At Toothi, the express-length package is Invisalign Go Express: a fixed £1,495, typically around 3 months, with your iTero scan, all reviews, removable and fixed retainers, an Airflow hygiene clean and Boutique teeth whitening all included. Nothing is added on.

• ✓  Relapse after braces — you wore braces as a teenager, stopped wearing the retainer, and the front teeth have shifted. The most common express case we see.
• ✓  Minor crowding — one or two overlapping front teeth, often a lower incisor that has tucked behind its neighbours.
• ✓  Small gaps — a slight space between the front teeth, or several small spaces across the smile line.
• ✓  A single rotated or tilted tooth — where the rest of the smile is already in line.
• ✓  Pre-bonding alignment — straightening the edges a little before composite bonding so the bonding needs less build-up.

Express is not for bite problems, more than mild crowding, or anything involving the back teeth. If that is your case, Invisalign Go or Go Plus is the honest answer, and we will tell you at the consultation rather than squeeze a bigger job into a shorter course. The free iTero scan shows which package you need in minutes.

Included in every Invisalign package: iTero 3D scan and ClinCheck · all review appointments · refinement aligners if needed · removable and fixed retainers · Airflow hygiene clean · Boutique teeth whitening. There are no add-ons. Full detail on our fees page and in our Invisalign cost guide.

Any treatment over £250 can be spread over up to 10 months at 0% interest, or over up to 60 months at 12.9% APR representative (fixed). Representative example (Invisalign Go Express only): £1,495 over 60 months = 12.9% APR fixed, £33.06 a month, cost of credit £488.71, total to pay back £1,983.71. How it works is in our monthly payments guide.

Because an express course has a fixed, small number of aligners, and the teeth will only move as far as those aligners take them. Start an express case that really needed a Go course and you end the series with teeth that are better but not finished. That is why the package is chosen from the scan and the plan, not from the price list. Go and Go Plus exist precisely for the cases that need more aligners and more time, and the difference in price buys the extra movement, not a different product.
