Why Invisalign

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective route to straighter teeth — without the constraints of traditional fixed braces.

Virtually Invisible

Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade plastic — virtually undetectable when worn. Most people will never notice you are straightening your teeth.

Removable

Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are removed when eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth — meaning your lifestyle and diet remain entirely unaffected.

Comfortable Wear

With no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable against the gums and cheeks throughout treatment.

Predictable Results

Using 3D digital treatment planning, we can show you a virtual preview of your final result before treatment even begins — so you know exactly what to expect.

Better Oral Hygiene

Because the aligners are removed for brushing and flossing, maintaining excellent oral hygiene during treatment is far simpler than with fixed braces.

Regular Progress Checks

We schedule regular appointments throughout your treatment to monitor progress, issue new aligners, and ensure everything is tracking as planned.

The Technology

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made aligners that are swapped out every two weeks, each one moving your teeth incrementally closer to their target position.

The entire treatment is digitally mapped from start to finish, so you can see exactly where your smile is headed before you even begin — a level of precision and predictability not possible with traditional braces.

01

Custom-Made Clear Aligners

Each Invisalign aligner is precision-engineered from medical-grade polyurethane resin, moulded to fit your teeth exactly. The aligners apply controlled force to specific teeth at each stage of treatment.

02

3D Digital Planning

Invisalign uses state-of-the-art 3D computer imaging technology to plan your entire treatment from start to finish. We can show you a virtual preview of your final smile before you commit to treatment.

03

Progressive Aligner Stages

You wear each aligner for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next in the series. Each aligner moves your teeth slightly closer to their ideal position.

04

Wear 20–22 Hours Per Day

For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day. They are only removed for eating, drinking hot drinks, and performing your oral hygiene routine.

Your Journey

The Treatment Process

From your free consultation to your final reveal, here is exactly what to expect at every stage of your Invisalign journey.

Impressions, photographs, and a digital scan of your teeth are sent with specific instructions for the creation of your bespoke aligner series.

03
Aligners Constructed

Invisalign uses state-of-the-art 3D computer imaging to create your custom-made, removable, and clear aligners — each precisely tailored to your case.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Invisalign answered by our experienced dental team.

Am I suitable for Invisalign?

Invisalign is suitable for most adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. We assess suitability at your free initial consultation.

How long do I need to wear the aligners each day?

For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day. They are only removed when eating, drinking hot drinks, or performing your oral hygiene routine.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Most patients adapt within a few days. There may be a slight adjustment period initially, but the aligners are designed to fit snugly and minimise any impact on speech.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the case, but on average Invisalign treatment takes between 6 and 12 months. You will attend an appointment roughly every 6 weeks to ensure treatment is progressing effectively.

Do you offer finance for Invisalign?

Yes. We offer flexible 0% interest finance plans to make your Invisalign treatment accessible. Our team will walk you through all available options during your consultation.

What happens after treatment ends?

We will discuss retainer options with you to preserve your results. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions and are a key part of maintaining your outcome long term.
