Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. It uses a series of custom-made, clear, plastic aligners that fit snugly over the teeth. These aligners are changed every one to two weeks, with each new set gradually moving the teeth closer to the desired position. Invisalign is nearly invisible, making it a discreet option for orthodontic treatment, and it can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
It’s designed to treat a variety of dental issues, including crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, offering a more comfortable and convenient way to achieve a straighter smile.

Say “goodbye” to traditional metal “train track” braces!
Get straight teeth and the smile you deserve with incredibly discrete, almost invisible, removable aligners that other people won’t even notice you’re wearing.
Invisalign aligners are also removable and allow you to eat and drink whatever you like.
If your upper and lower teeth don't touch when your mouth is closed, this is known as an open bite.
People are said to have crooked teeth when the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw are poorly aligned.
Crowded teeth occur when there isn't enough room within the jaw for the teeth to fit together normally.
When you have extra space between two or more of your teeth, this is known as gapped teeth.
A crossbite is when some teeth sit inside the lower jaw instead of on the outside (as is normally the case).
Underbites occur when the lower front teeth rest in front of the upper teeth when the mouth is closed.

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, these custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
Invisalign is suitable for most teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. However, severe misalignment or complex dental problems may require traditional orthodontic approaches. A consultation with an orthodontist will determine your suitability.
The process begins with a 3D digital scan of your teeth, followed by a customised treatment plan. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each worn for about two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into the desired position.
Invisalign can address crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, some complex cases may require traditional orthodontic treatment.
Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, though duration varies based on individual cases. Minor corrections may take as little as 6 months, while complex cases could require 24 months or more.
You must wear your aligners 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking hot beverages, and cleaning. Regular dental check-ups every 6-8 weeks are essential to monitor progress.
Clean your aligners daily with lukewarm water and specialised cleaning solutions. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Store aligners in their case when not in use.
Invisalign has minimal impact on daily life. You can remove aligners for special occasions, though consistent wear is crucial for successful treatment.
Post-treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Your orthodontist will recommend either removable or fixed retainers based on your specific case.
Treatment costs vary based on case complexity and duration. Many dental practices offer payment plans, and some insurance plans may cover a portion of the treatment. Consult your provider for specific pricing.
