Orthodontics is the term dentists use to describe the process of tooth straightening using braces. More and more adults are undergoing orthodontic treatment in order to improve their smile in the most natural way. They can also be used as part of a wider treatment plan, for example, prior to veneers in some cases.
At Aviva Dentistry, we have great experience in providing patients with straighter smile using a variety of systems designed to suit your needs. We have chosen Invisalign because it is discrete and offers exceptional results.

At Aviva Dentistry, we have great experience in providing patients with a straighter smile using Invisalign.
There are three different options with Invisalign – Comprehensive, Lite or i7 – and each one is used for different orthodontic needs.
Each option works differently and we will discuss each one with you during your consultation in order to explain the most suitable for your individual needs.
As the leading orthodontic practice in Hertfordshire, we are pleased to accept referrals from other dental professionals.
One of the benefits of Invisalign is their ClinCheck system. During your consultation we will take detailed digital scans of your mouth, which can then be uploaded to the ClinCheck system.
This allows us to show you how your teeth will move during the treatment and how they will look at the end…before your treatment even begins! This is a fantastic glimpse into the future that our patients love.

Every case is individually assessed and put into a treatment plan. This means that the number of aligners varies between patients, but the average treatment time is between 6 to 8 months.
Attachments are tooth coloured bumps placed on the front surface of the teeth. Most patients say how unnoticeable they are, especially when the aligners are in place. All cases will need some attachments and the number depends on how complex the tooth movements required are.
Aligners are worn for at least 22 hours per day and should only be taken out for eating, drinking hot drinks and staining drinks. Patients get used to this process very quickly, and it is necessary for the treatment to work.
It is important that the teeth are retained in their new position to prevent relapse. This is usually achieved by using Vivera removable retainers at nighttime or a fixed retainer attached to the back of the teeth.
I went in to have my veneers replaced- after 12 years they weren’t looking so great.
From the online consultation, to the same-day procedure (totally painless and stress-free), Aviva were fantastic.
I had 100% confidence in Dr Caplan at all times, and my teeth have never looked better or more natural- there’s no way you could tell they’re veneers at this point which is exactly what I wanted. I’m a very happy customer indeed.

Absolutely first class!
Dr Caplan put me at complete ease, and discussed my options without being pushy.
I am over the moon with the results! Would highly recommend.

I would recommend this practice as it’s welcoming, it’s modern and the technology Julian uses is the best in the country!
The digital scanner that was used in my mouth to take the impressions of my teeth was painless and quick. It also meant that the imagery went straight to Invisalign and the whole experience was seamless and very fast.

Everything was done in one day which I think is just amazing! Dr Caplan uses this latest technology, which I think is probably what enables it to be done in one day, painlessly and without discomfort at all.
I came along at about 8 / 8.30 one morning and the whole job was finished by about 4.30/5 o’clock.
I would certainly recommend this practice and I have recommended it to many friends and family because I believe it’s probably the best place to come if you want to improve everything about your teeth from a smile perspective and probably from a medical perspective.

“I found it uncomfortable to eat because of two fractured teeth, so I had implants to replace them.
After having the implants I was able to eat again and had no discomfort!
Since then everything has been well, and I have the knowledge that they’ll last for many years.”

Brilliant! My disgusting white and metal crown has been removed with no pain, no hassle and replaced with a beautiful looking Cerec crown.
Nervous patient, no reason to be. Proactively going to crown another tooth as the experience was so good.
