Imagine what Invisalign aligners could do for your smile

Invisalign is a revolutionary dental treatment that offers a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Utilising a series of clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually straightens teeth without the need for metal wires or brackets.

These aligners are virtually invisible when worn, making them ideal for individuals seeking a more aesthetically pleasing solution. They are also removable, allowing for easy cleaning and the ability to enjoy all your favourite foods without restriction.

The treatment process begins with a consultation where a 3D scan or impression of the teeth is taken to create a personalised treatment plan. Based on this plan, a series of Invisalign aligners are created to gradually shift the teeth into their desired position.

Patients wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Throughout the treatment, periodic check-ups are necessary to monitor progress and ensure the teeth are moving according to plan.

Overall, Invisalign offers a comfortable, convenient, and discreet option for achieving a straighter smile, making it a popular choice among those seeking teeth straightening treatment.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
