Smile Studio Penarth is a certified Invisalign practitioner.
The Invisalign treatment can transform your smile and improve your oral health by discreetly straightening your teeth.
There are no metal wires or brackets like traditional braces, which means that Invisalign aligners are comfortable, safe and virtually invisible.
They can be removed for short periods so that you can eat, drink, brush and floss as normal. You can even remove them for a night out or special event when you want to look your best. This means that Invisalign can fit into your daily routine with no fuss or embarrassment.
While Invisalign is a popular choice for discreet teeth straightening, it is not the only option available at Smile Studio Penarth. Depending on your smile, bite, lifestyle, and treatment goals, our dentists may also recommend lingual braces or fixed braces. These treatments can be especially suitable for more complex cases or for patients who would benefit from a different type of orthodontic support. Explore our alternative aligner and brace options to find out which treatment may be right for you.

Invisalign Before and After: Teeth Straightening Results in Penarth
What Invisalign Treats
Smile Studio Penarth can use the Invisalign treatment to correct the following problems:
Widely Spaced Teeth
Extra room in your jaw leaves visible gaps between the teeth. This can be caused by small teeth, uneven jaw bone growth, genetics, missing teeth or tongue position. Gaps can trap food and make teeth harder to clean, which raises the risk of gum problems over time. Invisalign closes the spaces in small, planned steps so your teeth sit evenly and are easier to keep clean.
Overbites
This happens when the upper teeth overlap significantly with the lower teeth. It can be caused by genetics, bad oral habits, or over-development of the bone that supports the teeth. It can lead to gum problems or irritation, and/or wear on the lower teeth and can cause painful jaw and joint problems.
Underbites
In an underbite, the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. It is usually caused by undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, or both, and it can also follow missing upper teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to uneven tooth wear and jaw discomfort. Mild to moderate underbites often respond well to Invisalign, while more severe cases may need fixed braces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Invisalign treatment or process? We've gathered the answers to what our patients ask most.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Consistent wear time is what keeps treatment on schedule.
How long does teeth straightening take?
Most clear aligner cases take 6 to 18 months. Minor crowding or spacing often completes in 6 to 9 months, while crossbites, overbites and underbites usually need 12 to 18 months of wear.
What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Invisalign uses clear removable aligners you change every two weeks, with no metal wires or brackets. Fixed braces stay bonded to your teeth and remain more effective for complex bite corrections.
Can clear aligners fix an overbite, underbite or crossbite?
Yes. Aligners gradually move the upper and lower teeth into a more even bite, and many cases respond well. Severe misalignment may need fixed braces, which your dentist will confirm at your consultation.
Do I need a retainer after treatment?
Yes. Teeth naturally drift once treatment ends, so retainers hold them in their new position. We fit your retainers at our Penarth practice and explain how often to wear them before your treatment finishes.
