Ready to transform your smile?

Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into a better position. They’re designed to fit into day-to-day life, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly with fewer appointments than traditional braces.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are thin, transparent trays that fit closely over your teeth. Each set is slightly different, gradually guiding your teeth into a new position. As you move through the series, small changes build up into a more even alignment. Because they’re removable, you can take them out to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. Clear aligners are considered the most effective way to straighten your teeth without the use of braces

Which aligner systems do you offer?

At Ark-G Dental, we offer a range of aligner systems, including:

SureSmile® (our main system).
Invisalign®.
Smartee aligners.

Each system works similarly, but may be suited to different cases. We’ll recommend what fits best based on your teeth and what you’re hoping to achieve.

Getting the decision right

Moving teeth is a longer process than treatments like bonding, so it’s important to plan it properly. We look at:

How are your teeth positioned now?
How your bite works.
What kind of result are you aiming for?

In some cases, a small cosmetic adjustment is enough. In others, aligning the teeth first leads to a more stable and natural-looking outcome.

Why choose Ark-G Dental for clear aligners in Crayford?

Family-run practice, established in 2001.
Experience with multiple aligner systems.
A focus on both function and appearance.
A full range of treatments if further work is needed after alignment.

What can Invisalign^® fix?

Crowded teeth

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.

Gaps between teeth

Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.

Open bite

An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.

Underbite

An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.

Overbite

An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.

Crossbite

A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.

Frequently asked questions

1. Why should I choose clear aligners?

They offer a more discreet way to straighten teeth compared to fixed braces.

2. What can be expected from the treatment?

Treatment takes place over several months.

Assessment: We’ll examine your teeth and talk through what you’d like to change.
Planning: A digital scan is used to map how your teeth will move over time.
Aligners provided: You’ll receive a series of aligners, each worn for a set period.
Progress checks: We’ll review how things are moving and make adjustments if needed.

For the best results, aligners need to be worn for most of the day.

3. What are the benefits of clear aligners?

They’re removable, less noticeable, and allow you to maintain your normal routine more easily.

Discreet: The trays are clear and sit close to the teeth
Removable: You can take them out to eat and clean your teeth
Gradual changes: Teeth are moved step by step rather than all at once
Useful before other treatments: Can improve the final result of bonding or veneers
See the results from the start: Digital scanning technology is used to show you how your smile will look at the end of treatment – no guesswork.

4. How long does treatment take?

It depends on how much movement is needed. Some cases take a few months, others longer.

5. Do I have to wear them all the time?

They should be worn for most of the day, usually around 20–22 hours.

6. Do clear aligners hurt?

You may feel some pressure when switching to a new set, but it usually settles quickly.

7. Can clear aligners fix crooked teeth?

Yes, for mild to moderate cases. More complex movement may require other options.

8. How do clear aligners compare to other treatments?

Fixed braces may be more suitable for complex cases.
Composite bonding can improve the appearance of minor misalignment without moving teeth.
Veneers can adjust the look of teeth, but don’t change their position.

The right option depends on what needs to be changed.

9. What’s the difference between SureSmile, Invisalign® and Smartee?

They all work in a similar way. The differences come down to planning systems, materials, and suitability for different cases.

10. Will aligners affect my speech?

There can be a slight adjustment period, but most people adapt quickly.

11. Can I eat with aligners in?

No. They should be removed when eating and drinking anything other than water.

12. How do I clean them?

They can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and rinsed regularly.

13. What happens after treatment?

You’ll usually need to wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new position.

Best dentists, we have ever been to, The receptionists are amazing, Always Smiling and so Friendly ,Not like your usual receptionist (if you know what I mean 😉I have been going to this dentist for 12 years.Its cleaniness is spectacular. Appointments are quick. My husband has so much anxiety when going to the dentist, And our dentist went above and beyond for Him. If you have bad teeth, If you fear the dentist, afraid of judgement. Or You need a lot of work done. Than this is the dentists for you. I moved out of the area, But still kept my dentist, Why? Because there is no surgery like Ark-G. ♥️💯

I had a great experience and I'm loving my new smile😊. I have been going to Ark-G for a number of years now and my experience has always been good. The dentist talked me through everything, he did an excellent job. His assistant was great too. Thank you to the whole Ark-G Dental team. Much appreciated, Mariama.

I'm very happy with the dental treatment at Ark G. My dentist Dr Awais Malik has treated me with utmost respect and professionalism, he always takes into consideration that I am partially sighted and deaf and is happy to accommodate my wheelchair requirements. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Sue London

I would give more than 5 stars if possible. From the reception staff to the dentists I cannot fault this dental surgery. I visit other dental surgeries in my job and Ark G go above and beyond to support their patients.Dr. Awais Malik is the dentist my client sees and he is thorough, patient, professional, respectful and gentle. If I lived in Crayford this would be my dentist.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ark G Dental, and I really felt the need to leave a review.The dentist who saw me when I came in to have my tooth checked was truly amazing. She was incredibly kind, patient, and reassuring. She took the time to explain everything in detail and talked me through each step of the process, making sure I understood what was happening and felt comfortable before going ahead with any treatment. She constantly checked in to see if I had any questions and genuinely made me feel at ease.You could clearly tell that she truly cares about her patients, I’ve honestly never met a dentist as caring and attentive as her. She made the necessary referrals for me, ensured my treatment was successful, and even made sure a follow-up appointment was booked. That level of care really meant a lot to me.Although I can’t remember her name, I also want to mention her assistant, who was just as lovely, so polite, welcoming, and warm. The entire practice is spotless and very well-maintained, which added to the positive experience.I could go on and on about how great my visit was, but I mainly wanted to say a big thank you. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism shown, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ark G Dental to anyone.Thanks againT.E

Ark Dental & Cosmetic center is the best dentist that I have been to, very clean and hygienic ,Staff and dentists are really lovely, polite, helpful, totally organized, there's a nice calming atmosphere, they do not rush. They are kind and considerate, they understand if you are nervous or suffer with anxiety, they do everything to make you feel welcome. I definitely recommend this dentist very highly. NHS patients are accepted. They have computers in the waiting room for children and adults to play games. Thank you. Myself and my Daughter would not go to another dentist.

When it comes to the dentist, I'm a very nervous patient today I attended for surgery and the welcome when arriving from Amber, the receptionist, who, by the way, called me the day before to make sure all was fine and then took care of me whilst waiting took time to comfort and reassure me just amazing. Then, the two dentists who carried out the work needed were great and talked me through everything and made me aware of what would happen before I knew it, I was out and home. Thank everyone at the surgery you are amazing people who go above and beyond.
