Invisalign
A discreet way to straighten teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners planned from a digital assessment.
Overview
About Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners, each worn for a set period before moving to the next. Every aligner applies gentle, planned pressure, moving the teeth in stages towards the agreed final position.
Because the aligners are removable, you take them out to eat and to clean your teeth. That convenience comes with a responsibility: the treatment only works if they are worn for the number of hours your dentist specifies each day.
Why patients choose it
Benefits
Discreet
Clear aligners are far less visible than fixed braces.
Removable
Taken out to eat and to clean your teeth.
Planned in stages
Movement is planned digitally before treatment begins.
Reviewed regularly
Progress is checked against the plan at review appointments.
Step by step
How the treatment works
Consultation
Your teeth, bite and gums are assessed and your goals discussed.
Records & plan
Scans, photographs and x-rays are used to plan the movement digitally.
Fitting
Your first aligners are fitted and wear instructions explained.
Aligner phase
You change aligners as directed and attend reviews.
Retention
Retainers hold the teeth in their new position — this part is for life.
Suitability
Who is it for?
Clear aligners can address many kinds of crowding, spacing and alignment, but not every case. Some situations are better treated with fixed braces or by a specialist orthodontist. Your dentist will assess your teeth, bite and gum health, and will say honestly if aligners are not the right tool for your case.
A professional assessment is always needed. The guidance on this page is
general information, not advice about your own teeth. Whether this treatment is right for
you can only be decided after an examination by one of our clinicians.
Treatment details
Wear time
Aligners must be worn for the hours your dentist specifies each day. Results depend on this.
Duration
Varies considerably by case. Your dentist will estimate at consultation, after assessment.
Retention
Teeth move throughout life. Retainers are needed afterwards to hold the result.
Considerations
Gum health and any decay are treated before orthodontic treatment starts.

About these images. Every photograph here comes from Liphook Smile Studio's own
website — none is stock and none is AI-generated. They are shown as a clinical gallery rather
than as before-and-after pairs, because the source site does not state which image is which.
Supply matched, consented pairs and they will replace these.
Questions
Invisalign FAQs
If your question is not here, please ask when you contact the practice.
How long does treatment take?
It depends entirely on how much movement is planned. Your dentist will give you an estimate after assessing your teeth — not before.
Will it hurt?
Most people describe pressure or tenderness for a day or two after changing to a new aligner. That is the teeth moving, and it usually settles quickly.
Can I take them out?
Yes, to eat and to clean your teeth. But they only work while they are in, so the daily wear time matters more than anything else in the treatment.
Will my teeth stay straight afterwards?
Only with retainers. Teeth naturally drift throughout life, and retention is a permanent part of orthodontic treatment, not an optional extra.
Am I suitable?
Many people are, but not everyone. Some bites are better treated another way, and we will tell you if that is the case rather than proceed regardless.

Getting here
How to reach us
Driving to the practice
Liphook sits just off the A3, which bypasses the village — so the practice is straightforward to reach from both Guildford and Petersfield. Leave the A3 at the Liphook turning and follow signs into the village centre; Haslemere Road runs from The Square towards Haslemere.
To confirm: the exact approach you would like described from the north and from the south, and any local landmark to turn at.
For turn-by-turn directions from wherever you are, use the button below — it always reflects live traffic.
By train
Liphook station is on Station Road, Liphook, GU30 7DR, on the Portsmouth Direct Line and managed by South Western Railway.
- From London Waterloo — about an hour, via Woking.
- From Portsmouth & Southsea — about 45 minutes.
- Frequency — roughly one train an hour each way, with extra services at peak times.
To confirm: the walking time from the station to 6 Haslemere Road.
By bus
Liphook is served by Stagecoach South. The Square, in the village centre, is the main stop and the closest to Haslemere Road.

Parking
Parking behind the practice is free. The car park is directly behind us on Haslemere Road — coming from the village, it is just before you reach Sainsbury's.
- Designated bays — free for up to 5 hours, which comfortably covers any appointment.
- Yellow bays — free with 24-hour parking, if you need to leave the car for longer.
There is no charge and no ticket machine, so you can come straight in.
If you are arriving by train instead, the station car park on Station Road has 74 pay-and-display spaces, currently around £5.10 for the day.
To confirm: whether any of the bays behind the practice are marked as blue badge spaces, so we can say so here.
Finding us in the village
We are at 6 Haslemere Road, a short distance from The Square — the centre of Liphook and the main bus stop. Liphook railway station is on Station Road, and Sainsbury's is a useful landmark on the village's northern side.
To confirm: walking times from The Square and the station, the nearest recognisable landmark to the door, and step-free access details.
