The Dangers of "Cheap Invisalign Offers"
The Truth
Invisalign® is just a tool. To give you long lasting results that could avoid shaving your teeth and optimise face profile and breathing requires:
experienced planning
whole-body techniques
a team approach
That’s what the Wide Smiles™ system delivers.
WideSmiles™ - Expansion First Straightening
Small jaws aren’t genetic – they’re a modern problem caused by external factors and habits.
Soft foods, mouth breathing, low tongue posture and thumb sucking during childhood can all limit jaw growth.
By looking at small jaws as the root cause of teeth crowding is an approach some call Holistic Orthodontics, Holistic Invisalign, or Holistic Teeth Straightening in London.
The cornerstone of WideSmiles™ for Invisalign is jaw exapansion.
By expanding the jaws before straightening, we can:
- 1. Avoid extractions and filing (IPR)
We create space naturally — no drilling or shaving healthy enamel.
- 2. Get Fuller, natural smiles
Wider jaws support lips and facial profile for balanced smiles.
- 3. Optimise breathing and sleep
Expansion can increase tongue space to encourage nasal breathing and more open airways.
What Can Invisalign Treat with the WideSmiles™️ Approach
Traditional Invisalign vs WideSmiles™
- Traditional Invisalign
- WideSmiles™
- Focuses only on the front teeth → limited cosmetic outcomes
- Holistic approach → focuses on cosmetic and health outcomes
- Drilling between teeth → weakens enamel
- No drilling → enamel protected
- Extractions reduce jaw size → can narrow airways
- Jaw expansion → fuller smile, better breathing

FAQs
Why is WideSmiles™ different to standard Invisalign?
Most providers focus on straightening the front teeth only. WideSmiles™ looks to expand jaws where possible for optimal smiles, face profilea and airways.
Will you file between my teeth (IPR)?
No — I avoid unnecessary IPR. Expansion creates space naturally. See [Jaw Expansion London] for details.
Can Invisalign Expand Jaws?
Modern aligner systems like Invisalign can in certain cases offer some gentle expansion.
If significant expansion is required, I recommend viewing my Jaw Expansion page.
Is Dental Crowding Unhealthy?
The World Health Organization lists malocclusion (dental crowding) among the top three oral health diseases worldwide.
Early intervention prevents long-term damage — but even adults can achieve expansion and alignment. That’s why the WideSmiles™ approach treats the jaw as the root cause, not just the teeth.
Do You Need an Invisalign Orthodontist in London?
Traditional orthodontic and dental approaches focus on shaving or extracting teeth to create space and pulling teeth back — approaches that can narrow smiles and limit tongue space which can affect breathing and jaw profiles and jaw clicks over time.
As a dentist with 20 years experience – my WideSmiles™ approach mimics an airway orthodontist london – protecting teeth from extraction, supporting airway health and creating fuller smiles that enhance your face profile.
How long does Invisalign take?
Timing depends on complexity, but holistic expansion often moves teeth, more predictably. The estimated time will be discussed at your consultation. Simpler cases often take around six months with more complex cases taking over 12.
What results can I expect?
Patients searching for the best Invisalign London options find that “best” means results that protect enamel and support long-term health — wider, healthier smiles that look authentic.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that they are removable, making it easier to clean teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. They are also more comfortable and have a lower risk of causing gum irritation or mouth sores. However, braces can be more effective in certain cases and may be better for severe dental problems. Dr Depen will guide you as to which option is right for you.
How discreet are the Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are clear so when they are worn, they are hardly noticeable. Furthermore they are removable so if you need to take them out for a special event, presentation or speech, they can be removed.
How will Invisalign affect my speech?
For the first few weeks Invisalign clear braces can change your speech. However, after a few weeks of initial adjustment you will quickly get used to it.
How comfortable are the aligners?
Because of the soft and smooth material that they are made from, Invisalign clear aligners tend to be very comfortable. There is always some initial discomfort in the first few weeks of treatment whilst the teeth are getting used to the pressure applied to them, but this quickly settles.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
Invisalign clear braces must be worn for 22 hours a day to ensure the best outcome. They are change on a weekly basis. Upon fitting the Invisalign clear aligners, you receive a batch of them to change every week.
What are Invisalign attachments?
Invisalign attachments are small tooth coloured buttons which are applied to the tooth surface and removed at the end. Their purpose is to provide additional grip for the clear braces to improve the efficiency of the tooth movement. They also have specialised shapes to move the teeth in certain directions.
What if I lose my aligner?
Don’t panic! As we use digital scans and records for all of our Invisalign treatments we can simply re-order you the clear aligner that was lost. We would recommend you seek advice from your Invisalign dentist. In the meantime go back and wear the previous clear aligner.
Do I have to wear retainers after treatment?
Retainers must be worn after all orthodontic treatments not just Invisalign, even with metal braces they need to be worn. This is because the teeth like to drift back to where they originally once were positioned. In order to prevent this from happening retainers must be worn at night.
How much time will I wear the retainers after the treatment is done?
We normally recommend wearing retainers for life to ensure that the teeth stay in the correct position after having Invisalign treatment.
