Orthodontist Sunbury-on-Thames – Discreet Dental Braces & Aligners
The Gentle Dental is a trusted orthodontic clinic, who has been providing orthodontic tooth straightening solutions, including Invisalign for more than 20 years. Our reputation and skills mean we receive an influx of patients from all over Surrey & SW London, including Sunbury-on-Thames.
“I have been a patient of Dr Ali Rifai at the Gentle Dental Practice for a while now and can’t rate his patient care highly enough. He and his staff are excellent. Their flexibility on appointment times is very convenient and overall I am a very happy customer.” – James H, Sunbury-on-Thames
More and more of our patients experiencing bite and alignment issues are opting for Invisalign treatment. The invisible, transparent aligners allow our patients the chance to straighten their smiles without the stigma of a metal mouth.
Not only this, but Invisalign also offers patients the choice to eat what they like as the aligners are removable and can be taken out to eat, drink and even attend big social events.
Our team of dentists, led by the talented Dr Marshall have allowed us to accept an array of patients from Sunbury-on-Thames (TW13, TW15 & TW16), Shepperton, Weybridge and beyond.
- Neighbouring dental studios often refer patients from Sunbury-on-Thames looking for orthodontic solutions to our practice. This is because we produce a certain standard of orthodontic care that can sometimes be difficult to come by locally as Platinum Elite Invisalign Providers. Read our reviews.
Invisalign is fastly becoming the most popular tooth straightening treatment at our practice. A growing choice amongst adults, the clear brace aligner treatment is made of transparent plastic that makes them almost invisible.
On top of being discreet, one of the other major advantages of clear aligners is that they are removable. Not only does this make it more comfortable to eat and brush teeth, but it also promotes stronger oral hygiene and strengthens gum and tooth health.
Are you suitable for Invisalign?
Invisalign is used to treat and fix many orthodontic problems and bite issues, such as:
- Overcrowding
- Crooked teeth
- Crossbite
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
How does it work?
In comparison to traditional, metal braces, Invisalign straightens your teeth more quickly and discreetly. Every two or so weeks, your custom-made almost invisible aligners will change to adjust your teeth little-by-little each week.
Invisalign braces are made from a very thin, clear medical plastic that allows the patient to complete their tooth straightening treatment without feeling self-conscious.

Do I need Invisalign?
Many of our Invisalign patients have confessed that Invisalign was the best thing they have decided to do. Quick, easy and effective, the clear brace treatment is one of the most recommended methods for straightening your smile and further avoiding oral health issues and complications.
Patients reluctant to correct their bite and smile issues can face serious oral health problems further down the line, which include gum disease (the more serious periodontal disease) and tooth decay.

4 Stages of Invisalign treatment:
- Questionnaire
Click on the smile questionnaire – take some pictures of your teeth and then we will get back to you with a quotation. If you wish to proceed.
- Book a consultation
Dr Marshall will invite you for a consultation at our East Molesey practice to assess your mouth, take a digital scan using iTero and provide you with a simulation of what your teeth could look like. Your dentist will determine if the Invisalign treatment is suitable. If so, together we will begin to design a unique treatment plan custom made to suit you.
Clincheck Review – The unique ClinCheck® software allows patients to see their treatment plan from beginning to end even before the start of treatment. We will either carry out this appointment via Zoom video call or at our clinic – whichever you prefer. We will also use this appointment to finalise any paperwork that may not be finished.
- Start your treatment
The next phase will see the patient receiving a set of custom-made aligners that will be required to be worn every day. On average, you will swap out the aligners for the next series every 7 days. Your Invisalign dentist will schedule follow-up appointments every 8 weeks to evaluate the treatment’s success.
- Your smile transformed
Most adults will be able to see the results of the treatment within 4-12 months, but this can vary from case to case. Once the process is complete you’ll have a straight smile and a renewed confidence. To protect your investment we will provide you with a set of retainers which will hold your teeth in place. These retainers should be used indefinitely to maintain the position of your teeth.
