A smile is a curve that sets everything straight
Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that employs a series of custom-made, transparent aligners to straighten teeth discreetly.

Why choose Invisalign®?
At the forefront of aligner therapy
Invisalign® harnesses cutting-edge technology to create a series of custom-made, virtually invisible, and removable plastic trays called aligners. These aligners are meticulously crafted to provide an ideal fit over a patient's teeth at every stage of treatment.
By utilising ClinCheck 3D software, dentists and orthodontists can precisely plan the desired movements, allowing the Invisalign® aligners to gradually and gently shift teeth into their correct position. This advanced software also enables professionals to showcase the likely final tooth position, providing patients with a visual representation of the expected outcome.
While various treatments are available for teeth alignment, not all can seamlessly blend efficiency, aesthetic appearance, and comfort. However, the Invisalign® system surpasses expectations by utilising a series of removable plastic aligners that delicately guide teeth into their desired position. This approach ensures a comfortable experience for patients throughout the treatment journey.
Invisalign® treatment is suitable for adults and teenagers, offering a versatile solution for various dental alignment issues. Thanks to their virtually invisible design, the aligners allow individuals to discreetly improve their smile without drawing attention.
Moreover, the convenience of Invisalign® aligners shines through as they can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, promoting good oral hygiene habits. Each set of aligners is meticulously customised to fit the unique specifications of every individual patient, further enhancing the treatment's effectiveness.
process
How does Invisalign® work?
Invisalign® treatment combines state-of-the-art technology, virtually invisible aligners, and a customisable approach to provide patients with an efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable teeth alignment solution.
The Process of Invisalign®
- Step 01: Initial Consultation
Begin with a complimentary consultation with one of our Invisalign® dentists. During this no-obligation session, we'll capture a free 3D scan of your teeth, allowing us to present you with a simulation of the expected results of Invisalign®. - Step 02: Dental Records
Next, we'll gather essential dental records, including photographs, x-rays, and digital scans. - Step 03: Send Record to Invisalign®
These records and the treatment prescription form based on the orthodontic assessment are then sent to Invisalign®. Align Technology will utilise this information to create a customised 3D treatment plan called a 'ClinCheck' treatment plan. We will review and discuss the final outcome with you. Once you are satisfied with the treatment plan, the ClinCheck is approved. This approval triggers the manufacturing process for the complete series of aligners. - Step 04: Aligner Creation & Delivery
Based on the approved treatment plan, a series of tailor-made aligners are meticulously crafted and shipped to our practice. - Step 05: Initial Fitting Appointment
We'll schedule an appointment to fit you with the first 1-2 aligner sets, ensuring a proper fit and comfort. - Step 06: Wearing & Progress
You will wear the aligners for 20-22 hours each day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Every 1-2 weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners, gradually progressing towards your desired tooth alignment. Progress will be monitored through appointments approximately every four weeks, during which you'll receive new aligners and assess your progress. - Step 07: Post-Treatment Retainers
Upon completion of the treatment, using retainers is necessary to maintain the newly achieved teeth position. Retainers play a vital role in preserving the outcome of the treatment.
faqs
Find answers to popular Invisalign®-related questions below
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a system of clear aligners used to straighten teeth and correct dental alignment issues. The aligners are made of a transparent, BPA-free plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn.
How does Invisalign® work?
Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made aligners to shift your teeth into the desired position gradually. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next set. The aligners gently pressure your teeth to guide them into proper alignment.
What dental issues can Invisalign® treat?
Invisalign® can effectively treat various dental alignment issues, including overcrowding, spacing issues, crossbites, overbites, and underbites. However, the severity of the case will determine whether Invisalign® is suitable or if traditional braces may be recommended.
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign® treatment varies depending on the case's complexity and the individual's specific needs. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months, but some cases may require shorter or longer treatment periods.
Is Invisalign® treatment painful?
While you may experience temporary discomfort or pressure when transitioning to a new set of aligners, Invisalign® treatment is generally considered more comfortable than traditional braces. Any discomfort is typically mild and subsides as your teeth adjust to each new aligner.
Can I remove the Invisalign® aligners?
Yes, one of the significant advantages of Invisalign® is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. However, for optimal results, wearing the aligners for 20-22 hours per day is recommended.
How often should I see my dentist or orthodontist during Invisalign® treatment?
Regular check-up appointments are typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks. During these visits, your dentist or orthodontist will evaluate your progress, provide you with new sets of aligners, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Do I need to wear retainers after Invisalign® treatment?
Yes, wearing retainers after completing Invisalign® treatment is crucial to maintaining the new position of your teeth. Retainers help prevent teeth from shifting back to their original alignment. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide instructions on how often to wear retainers.
How much does Invisalign® treatment cost?
The cost of Invisalign® treatment can vary depending on factors such as the case's complexity, the treatment's duration, and your geographic location. It's best to consult with your dentist or orthodontist to get an accurate cost estimate and discuss any financing options available.
Can anyone get Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is suitable for many individuals, including both adults and teenagers. However, it is essential to consult with a trained Invisalign® provider to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment based on your specific dental needs and goals.
