Invisalign

Achieve a straight smile with these clear and removable aligners. Invisalign is a very popular treatment for adults and teens who are self-conscious about having noticeable braces. The clear and comfortable aligners are near invisible and perfectly discreet. As they are custom-made, they fit perfectly and are comfortable to wear.

Invisalign works using a set of aligners that gradually move your teeth to the desired position. Each set moves your teeth a step at a time until you receive the final set that will be your dream smile. As these aligners are removable, you can still eat and drink what you want. Just remove them when you are about to eat and brush your teeth afterwards.

You’ll need to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day, which allows plenty of time to have them out for any special occasion.

Why have Invisalign?

Having an even and straight smile doesn’t just boost your confidence, it’s also better for your oral health. Straight teeth are much easier to keep clean both at home and during hygiene appointments. An aligned bite is also beneficial for your overall mouth as it reduces the likelihood of jaw issues and tooth wear.

Benefits of invisalign:

• Almost invisible
• Removable
• Custom-made
• Comfortable
• Benefits your overall oral health

What’s involved in having Invisalign treatment?

• If you are a suitable candidate for this adult-friendly treatment, we take impressions and photos, and collect other information about your teeth. We then use special 3D technology to create a personalised plan, which shows how your teeth will move and also how they will look after treatment.
• When the aligners are ready, you will wear a different one every two weeks until the carefully controlled force shifts your teeth to a better position. You may feel minor discomfort when a new aligner is fitted but this is usually just a feeling of pressure and a good indicator that the treatment is working.
• Treatment times will vary depending on your individual issue, but most cases are completed in 6-12 months. As the aligners only work while you are actually wearing them, we recommend they are kept in place for 22–24 hours per day.

Retainers

Following treatment, as with all orthodontic methods, you will need to wear a retainer to stop your teeth moving back to their former position.
