Results vary between patients. At SW3 Dental in Chelsea we offer AddaSmile and Invisalign aligners, with a free consultation to compare the two.

Your questions answered

How long do aligners take to straighten front teeth?

Mild cases can take a few months, while others take longer. You will get an estimate after your scan and assessment.

What is a 3D scan?

Instead of traditional moulds, we take a quick digital scan of your teeth, which is used to plan your aligners.

Can I whiten my teeth once aligners are finished?

Yes. Many people whiten after treatment, and some aligner packages include a whitening kit.
