What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, patented plastic aligners to straighten teeth. They are suitable for adults of all ages, as well as teenagers.

How does it work?

Once deemed suitable; photos, impressions and measurements are recorded to devise a treatment plan. This information is sent to Invisalign in California to engineer a treatment protocol which straightens the teeth with clear plastic overlay aligners, similar to a bleaching tray in thickness. A virtual video, called a ‘clincheck’, is devised to illustrate the results from start to finish. The patient changes aligners every two weeks, wearing the aligners at all times except for cleaning and eating

How long does it take?

Depending on the goal, Invisalign takes anywhere from 20 weeks to two years.

Will it work for me?

Invisalign can be an extremely powerful treatment, alone, or as part of a treatment plan involving other cosmetic dental treatments such as veneers, crowns or whitening.

However, there are some orthodontic situations that require more than alignment. Sometimes, a referral to a specialist orthodontist for a combination of full fixed braces or even surgery may be required. We are well trained and experienced to recognise these situations.

Invisalign is one of the most popular ways to straighten and perfect your smile.

Invisalign is the perfect alternative to braces as they provide a removable and transparent solution to traditional orthodontics which are often distracting. Invisalign can let you avoid self-confidence issues that braces normally inflict as most people won’t even realise that you’re wearing them.

Benefits of Invisalign®

  • Patients prefer wearing Invisalign® because of how convenient it is as compared with wearing traditional braces.
  • The aligners are clear so no one can tell you are straightening your teeth.
  • They are only worn for 22 hours a day so you can take them out to eat dinner, go attend a function, or make an important presentation at work.
  • You can brush and floss your teeth like normal, and no additional tools are required.
  • There is less of a risk that your teeth will become stained as compared with wearing metal braces that can be difficult to clean.
  • The procedure is more comfortable than metal braces since the aligners move teeth into place slowly and only focus on a few teeth at a time.
Aligners are easy to take care of, and you only use the same aligner for a couple of weeks.
