Invisalign vs. Fixed Braces: Making the right choice

What is

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment designed to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. It uses a series of custom made, transparent trays to gently move teeth into alignment with precision and comfort.

WHAT ARE

Fixed Braces

Fixed braces are a traditional teeth straightening treatment used to correct mild crowding as well as more complex bite concerns. Brackets and arch wires are fixed to the teeth to apply steady pressure and gradually guide them into alignment.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign at Stella Dental is a discreet, virtually invisible alternative to fixed braces. Using a series of custom-made clear aligners, Invisalign gradually straightens your teeth without brackets or wires, delivering comfortable and subtle results.

Ideal for:

  • Adults and teenagers seeking discreet orthodontic treatment
  • Correcting crowding, gaps and bite issues
  • Patients wanting flexibility without compromising results

Pricing:

  • From £2,295
  • From £48 per month
  • 0% interest-free finance available
  • Spread the cost over up to 5 years

  • Close gaps between teeth

I was absolutely terrified about straightening my teeth as an adult, but Dr Francesca and her team at Stella Dental completely put my mind at ease. From the very first consultation, they explained the entire Invisalign process clearly and honestly. The 3D imaging they used to show me my projected results was incredible and gave me real confidence about what to expect. Twelve months into my treatment, the results are beyond anything I imagined. My teeth have moved exactly as predicted, and the staff have been supportive throughout. Highly recommend Stella Dental for Invisalign treatment. Genuinely life changing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had my Invisalign consultation with Stella Dental last month and was thoroughly impressed. The clinic is immaculate, modern and the atmosphere is genuinely calm and welcoming. What stood out most was how thorough Dr Francesca was in explaining my options. She didn't push me into treatment, just gave me honest advice about what would work best for my smile. The aligners arrived quickly and fit perfectly. Six months in and my bite is already noticeably better. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering Invisalign.

Finally did something I've been putting off for years getting my teeth straightened. So glad I chose Stella Dental for my Invisalign journey. The team are professional, kind and genuinely invested in my results. They made me feel comfortable asking questions about everything from how to clean the aligners to whether I could still have wine with them on! The technology they use is state of the art and the whole experience has been stress free. My smile is already transforming and I'm only three months in. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I visited Stella Dental sceptical about whether Invisalign would actually work for me given how crooked my teeth were. Dr Francesca explained that complex cases are actually their speciality and walked me through exactly how they would approach my treatment. Eighteen months later and my teeth are now perfectly straight. The support throughout the process was outstanding the appointments were always on time, the staff were friendly and professional, and every stage of my treatment went exactly as planned. Best decision I made. Highly recommend.

Just completed my Invisalign treatment at Stella Dental and I honestly cannot fault the entire experience. From my first consultation through to my final appointment, everything was seamless. The clinic is modern and spotlessly clean, the reception staff are welcoming and efficient, and Dr Francesca is genuinely talented. My teeth are now exactly how I wanted them. What impressed me most was how they monitor progress with advanced imaging at every stage to ensure everything is tracking perfectly. If you're considering Invisalign, Stella Dental is absolutely worth choosing. Worth every penny.
