Invisalign in Manchester
Maybe you have spent years smiling with your mouth closed. Maybe you had braces as a teenager and your teeth have slowly drifted back. Either way, you want straighter teeth without a mouthful of metal and without putting your life on hold. That is exactly what Invisalign is designed for.
At Carisbrook Dental, your Invisalign treatment is planned and overseen by a GDC-registered specialist orthodontist, just 20 minutes from Manchester city centre.
A Platinum Elite Invisalign provider in Manchester
Invisalign ranks its providers by experience, based on the number of cases they have treated. Platinum Elite is one of its highest tiers, and it is a status most practices never reach. For you, it means your treatment is planned by a team that has straightened hundreds of smiles with Invisalign and has seen almost every kind of case.
Your treatment is led by Dr Usman Qureshi, a specialist orthodontist who also lectures at the Royal London Dental Hospital. He works alongside our orthodontic therapists, so you are looked after by the same small team from start to finish.
- Specialist-led: your plan is overseen by a GDC-registered specialist orthodontist.
- Digital scanning: no messy putty impressions, just a quick, comfortable 3D scan.
- Dental Monitoring included: you scan your progress at home with your phone between visits, so we can keep an eye on things without extra trips.
- Extras included: teeth whitening and retainers are included in your Invisalign treatment.
How Invisalign works
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners, each one made for your teeth and slightly different from the last. Every set nudges your teeth a little closer to their final position. You wear them for around 22 hours a day and take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush.
Before you start, you will see a 3D preview of how your teeth are expected to move, so you know what you are working towards. For the clinical detail, read more about how Invisalign clear aligners work.
Which Invisalign treatment is right for you?
There is more than one type of Invisalign. Dr Qureshi will recommend the right option after your assessment.
Invisalign Comprehensive
The full Invisalign system, for mild to complex cases, including crowding, gaps and bite problems. It gives your orthodontist the most flexibility to get the result you want.
Invisalign Lite
A shorter course for mild to moderate cases, such as small gaps or slight crowding, with fewer aligners than Comprehensive treatment.
Invisalign i7
For minor issues only, such as a single tooth that has drifted or relapse after previous braces. Treatment uses up to seven aligners, so it is usually quick.
Invisalign Teen
Designed for teenagers, with features to help parents and orthodontists check the aligners are being worn. It suits growing mouths and busy school lives.

Natalie
Natalie had a deep bite that several dentists had struggled to stabilise. Our orthodontist corrected her bite with clear aligners, then she finished with whitening and porcelain veneers. She was so pleased that she sent her husband and father-in-law to us too.

Debra
Debra’s deep overbite was putting her teeth and dental work at risk. Clear aligners brought her teeth into line, before implants, crowns, veneers and whitening completed her new smile.

Invisalign Manchester - frequently asked questions
How much does Invisalign cost in Manchester?
At Carisbrook Dental, Invisalign starts from £4,450 for adults and £3,750 for under 18s, with finance from £78.09 a month. Whitening and retainers are included.
Is the Invisalign consultation really free?
Yes, your first consultation is free. We ask for a small £25 deposit to secure it, which is refundable. A full assessment with our specialist orthodontist is £120.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most of our patients finish in around 9 to 15 months, but simple cases can be much quicker. We will give you an estimate after your scan.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel some pressure for a day or two each time you change aligners. That means they are working, and it usually settles quickly.
Will people notice I am wearing aligners?
Very few people will. The aligners are clear and fit closely over your teeth, so most people only notice if you tell them.
Can I have Invisalign if I have had braces before?
Yes. Teeth often move back after braces, especially if retainers were not worn. Invisalign is a popular way to correct this relapse.
