Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners that gently move them into place, with no metal brackets or wires. At Kissdental in Manchester, most treatments take somewhere between a few months and around 18 months depending on how much your teeth need to move.
Medically reviewed by Dr Kailesh Solanki, Founder, GDC No. 81952. Last updated 22 June 2026.
Invisalign uses a set of custom-made clear aligners that you wear over your teeth and change every week or two. Each aligner is slightly different from the last, so your teeth move a small step at a time until they reach the planned position. We take a digital scan of your mouth, plan the whole movement on screen so you can see the likely result before you start, and then have your aligners made to that plan. You wear them around 20 to 22 hours a day and take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth.
Invisalign suits most adults and older teenagers who want to straighten crowded, gapped or crooked teeth without fixed braces. It works well for mild to moderate cases and for many more complex ones too, and we check your bite, gums and teeth at your consultation to confirm it is right for you. If your case needs more control than aligners can give, we will say so honestly and talk through fixed braces or another option rather than push Invisalign where it is not the best fit.
Most Invisalign treatments take between a few months and around 18 months, with the average case sitting somewhere in the middle. The time depends on how far your teeth need to move and how consistently you wear the aligners, which is why the 20 to 22 hours a day really matters. We give you a realistic timeline at your consultation once we have planned your case, and you will usually wear a retainer afterwards to hold the result.
The whole point of Invisalign is to straighten your teeth. But aside from the obvious aesthetic benefits of a stunning new smile, there are several other benefits.
Invisalign aligners are made of a clear medical grade plastic that is both safe and transparent, so nobody will know they’re there
Invisalign is lightweight and comfortable – once you’ve worn them a while, you’ll hardly notice they’re in
Invisalign aligners are removable, making brushing your teeth, eating, and smiling in photos that much easier
As well as straightening your teeth, Invisalign minimises the potential for jaw problems such as temporomandibular joint disorder
By straightening your teeth, reducing overcrowding, and closing any gaps, you’ll reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease
Unlike traditional braces, it’s much easier to clean your teeth when undergoing treatment, and there’ll be no stains or marks left on your teeth where brackets once were

Had a filling and tooth extraction today. And Dr Uzair & his nurse make you comfortable and put you at ease. Will 100% recommend to everyone to give them a go.
I cannot recommend Kissdental Flixton highly enough. I had a complex implant 12 years ago by surgeon Dr Solanki – I was cared for every step of the way and the tooth was perfectly matched. Thanks
I’ve received a very professional service at kiss dental. I had fixed brace treatment (Damon braces) and bonding. I absolutely love the results. So pleased!! Really friendly dental and hygiene staff who explain everything very clearly. Also, excellent organisation from the admin / receptionist team who always try work around my work diary! I have a terrible memory so really appreciate the appointment reminders. I always feel welcomed and feel the service is really tailored and personalised. Thanks so much Kiss Dental!
Absolutely in love with my composite veneers. Very helpful staff! Couldn’t thank Dr Kush enough for my perfect smile! Since this day I still couldn’t stop smiling absolutely inlove!! Definitely recommend 100%
I had my teeth whitened and some bonding on a few of my my teeth to even out my smile and I was so happy with the results! Dr Sat, was amazing and really put me at ease. Super professional, friendly and very helpful. Providing advise and guidance when I needed it and giving me all my options. The reception staff were super lovely and made every visit a joy! I usually hate the dentist but I enjoyed every visit and I won’t be going anywhere else from now one!
Amazing service, Amazing results. I can’t thank Khush and his Team enough for giving me the confidence to smile again. I have a very real fear and phobia of The Dentist, I was made to feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. Exceptional care, customer service and professionalism from the Reception Team to the man himself. Thank you so much Kissdental
I had 8 composite veneers done by Dr Khush. Everyone at Kiss dental was so lovely especially Khush who is not only amazing at his job but also such a lovely person🦷💗
Third place I had visited for a consultation, I was that impressed with how much time Satnam spent talking about different options and then the treatment plan which was just suited to what I wanted I decided to book it all with them. I was so grateful and impressed with the whole way I was dealt with not to forget the lovely Niall on the front desk for accommodating my treatment dates and talking through some of the treatments too – such lovely people and the place was very clean and modern – see you soon guys
Love my new teeth, staff were amazing start to finish. Would highly recommend this surgery.

I love my new smile! I highly recommend Dr Lowri. I have gotten so many compliments about my new veneers. She is so lovely and was there for me from the start of the journey till the end. Everyone is so lovely in there also. Thank you kiss dental ☺️
I cannot recommend Dr Kailesh Solanki enough! He is absolutely amazing! I have never liked my smile it was very gummy and looked uneven, but today I had crown lengthening surgery, the difference is unbelievable! Dr Kailesh Solanki made me feel very welcome and relaxed and talked me through every step! I can’t wait to be fully healed! By far the best dentist I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend to anybody! Thank you so so much Dr Kailesh Solanki! ❤️❤️❤️
I find the atmosphere lovely and Dr Solanki a very good I’ve had 2 implants and general dentistry and have been very pleased with the results
The service for my Invisalign from start to finish with Kiss Dental Altrincham, has been perfect. The staff are friendly, supportive, and amazing with any queries or concerns. Kat has been instrumental in planning my treatment, ensuring I saw the right consultant at the right time. I obtained my treatment through a Charity Auction, where Kiss Dental Altrincham donated their services. In doing this, the team helped under privileged children. They are truly wonderful. Thank you, Kailesh, Kat and Chloe. Amanda x
I cannot recommend KissDental enough! My experience with them has been absolutely amazing and still continues to be. All the staff are wonderful, Kat is always so welcoming. Dr Dashtgard did a great job and has given me a huge boost of confidence. Despite the 40-minute journey to get to Altrincham, I will be continuing with my regular appointments with Chloe and Omid, it is definitely worth it. My favourite dental practice ever!
I had the best experience with kiss dental I chose dr Callum Coombs and he did an amazing job with my composite veneers I couldn’t be happier. I for one have always been scared of the dentist but from start to finish the whole experience was nothing but 10/10. I would highly recommend. All the staff in the practice were Lovley and super welcoming. And everything I needed was always posted out to me and they were super accommodating as I live quite far from the practise.
Fantastic practice! I was greeted by Sarah, Gabby and Shelbie who were all very welcoming and made sure I was seen promptly. Reza and Caitlyn carried out the dental procedure diligently and efficiently. Great experience, highly recommend to those putting off their visit to the dentists!

Every smile has a unique story, we tell the best stories through changing smiles.
Invisalign comes in different forms depending on how much movement your teeth need, and we will match the right one to your case at your consultation. Shorter courses suit minor movement at the front of the smile and finish sooner, while a full course covers more of the bite and takes longer. We confirm which option suits you, and the exact number of aligners, after your scan and assessment.
As everyone’s needs are different, we build a bespoke treatment plan that plots every point your teeth need to pass through on the way to their final position. We also provide Invisalign at our Bury and Knutsford clinics, so you can choose whichever is most convenient.
Invisalign is not the only way to straighten teeth, and we will give you an honest comparison. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which suits people who want a discreet option and do not want brackets, but they only work if you wear them as directed. Fixed braces stay on your teeth the whole time and can give the orthodontist more control over difficult movements. At your consultation we will tell you which approach is likely to give you the best result for your particular bite and goals.
The cost of Invisalign depends on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need, so the figure is different for everyone. After your scan and assessment we give you a clear written plan and price before treatment starts, with nothing hidden. Finance is available to spread the cost, and you can ask us for a quote at any time. A shorter course for minor movement usually costs less than a full course across the whole smile.
The cost depends on how much your teeth need to move and how many aligners your case needs, so there is no single price. At your consultation in Manchester we scan your teeth, plan the movement, and give you a clear written quote before anything starts. Finance is available to spread the cost over the treatment.
Most cases take from a few months to around 18 months, depending on how far your teeth need to move and how well you wear the aligners. Wearing them 20 to 22 hours a day keeps treatment on track. We give you a realistic timeline at your consultation once we have planned your case on screen.
Invisalign is generally comfortable, with no brackets or wires to rub. You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two each time you move to a new aligner, which is a sign the teeth are moving. It usually settles quickly, and most people manage it easily as they get used to each new set.
Yes. As well as our Manchester clinic, we provide Invisalign at our Bury and Knutsford clinics. The process is the same wherever you are treated: a consultation and digital scan, a plan you can see before you start, then your custom aligners. You can choose the clinic that is most convenient for you when you book.
Once your teeth are in their final position, you wear a retainer to keep them there, because teeth can drift back over time without one. We talk you through your retainer options and how often to wear it. Looking after your retainer and keeping your regular check-ups protects the result you have worked for.
For many cases Invisalign works very well, and for some complex movements fixed braces give the orthodontist more control. The best option depends on your bite and what needs correcting. We assess your teeth properly at your consultation and recommend the approach most likely to give you a strong, lasting result.
As one of Manchester’s few Platinum Invisalign providers, we are well equipped to deliver the very best treatment. Book your free consultation through the Kissdental enquiry form, or call us on 0161 524 1804.
Find us in Manchester at 13 Stanley Street, Manchester M8 8SH. We also offer Invisalign at our Bury and Knutsford clinics.
