Straighten up, without anyone noticing
Your journey to straighter teeth starts with Invisalign
Want Straighter Teeth Without Metal Braces? Invisalign Can Help
For years, fixed metal braces were the only real way to straighten crooked or crowded teeth. Today, Invisalign offers a virtually invisible alternative that fits comfortably around everyday life.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear removable aligners to gently guide your teeth into their ideal position, without brackets or wires. Each aligner is worn for around two weeks before moving on to the next in your personalised sequence.
We welcome Invisalign patients from Hilton Dental Care, Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all just a short drive from our practice on Station Road.

Invisalign or traditional braces?
Here are five differences worth knowing before you decide. We'll talk through both options at your consultation, including which one suits your lifestyle and budget best.
At Hilton Dental Care Dental, our approachable team can discuss all the benefits of Invisalign including:
01
The aligners are clear and far less noticeable than fixed metal braces, making them a popular choice for adults working near Hilton Dental Care Camp and the wider garrison community.
02
Aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, brush and floss normally throughout treatment, unlike fixed braces.
03
Smooth plastic aligners are generally more comfortable than brackets and wires, with no sharp edges to irritate the cheeks or gums.
04
Treatment time is often shorter than traditional braces for mild to moderate cases, with many patients from Ludgershall and Perham Down completing treatment within 6-18 months.
05
Every case is carefully planned using digital scans and discussed with you to ensure the best possible outcome.

FAQs
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than metal braces. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new aligner, which is a sign it's working. This settles quickly and rarely requires more than ordinary painkillers.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most cases take between 6 and 18 months, depending on how much movement your teeth need. We'll give you a personalised estimate at your consultation.
Is Invisalign available on the NHS?
Invisalign is a private cosmetic treatment and is not routinely available on the NHS.
Will I need to wear a retainer afterwards?
Yes. Retainers are essential after any orthodontic treatment to stop teeth drifting back. We provide custom retainers as part of your plan.
Can I still eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes — aligners are removed for eating and drinking, so there are no food restrictions like there are with fixed braces.
Do you treat patients outside Hilton Dental Care?
Yes, we regularly see patients travelling from Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all within a short drive of our Station Road practice.
