Top 5 Questions We Get About Invisalign at Our Airdrie Dental Practice
Thinking about Invisalign? You’re not alone. At South Bridge Dental Practice, we help patients across Airdrie, Coatbridge, and Lanarkshire achieve straighter, healthier smiles with clear aligners.
Whether you’ve just started researching or you’re ready to book a consultation, here are the top 5 questions we hear from patients considering Invisalign in Airdrie — and our honest answers.
1️⃣ Is Invisalign actually invisible?
Pretty much! Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic and are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, making them very hard to notice — even when speaking up close.
While they’re not 100% invisible, they are virtually undetectable in most social and professional settings. That’s why so many adults and teens in Airdrie choose Invisalign over traditional metal braces.
2️⃣ How long does Invisalign take to work?
It varies depending on your case, but most patients in Airdrie complete their Invisalign treatment in 6 to 12 months.
✅ Mild crowding or spacing? You might finish in under 6 months.
✅ More complex alignment issues? You may need 12–18 months.
We’ll give you a precise timeline at your free consultation using a 3D digital smile scan.
3️⃣ How much does Invisalign cost in Airdrie?
At South Bridge Dental, Invisalign starts from £2800, and we include over £1,000 in added value:
💎 Free Whitening (worth £350)

4️⃣ Can Invisalign fix my specific issue?
Invisalign can treat a wide range of concerns, including:
✔ Crooked teeth
✔ Gaps
✔ Overbite, underbite & crossbite
✔ Crowding
During your consultation, we’ll assess whether you’re a suitable candidate and show you exactly how your smile will look after treatment using a digital simulation.
5️⃣ Will I have to change what I eat or drink?
Nope! One of the best things about Invisalign is that you can remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water.
That means no food restrictions like with fixed braces — and it’s easier to keep your teeth clean too!
💬 Bonus Question: Is Invisalign painful?
Not at all. You may feel mild pressure when switching to a new aligner, but most patients describe it as tightness, not pain. It’s a small price to pay for a straighter, more confident smile!
