Invisable Braces
If you have teeth that are crowded, too far apart or have moved since wearing conventional braces, invisalign® may be the answer for you.
Being nearly invisible, almost no one can tell you are wearing invisalign®, so you can smile more during as well as after your treatment. Invisalign® braces are removable so that you can eat and drink what you like, and studies have shown that it can be better for your dental hygiene during treatment. There are no metal or sharp edges, and is therefore comfortable to wear and does not cause allergies.
The convenience and ease of use have made it the choice of over half a million people, giving hundreds of thousands of people amazing new smiles.
How does it work?
Using the latest 3-D computer technology, custom made removable mouth trays (aligners) are created under the dentist’s instructions. A series of aligners are worn over the course of treatment, all slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position.
How long will invisalign® take?
Invisalign® only works while you wear the aligners. We recommend they are worn full time day and night (min 22–24 hours).
Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks, (before moving onto the next in the series), moving your teeth millimetre by millimetre, week by week, until you reach your desired result.
Treatment length varies depending on the individual case, however, the average invisalign® treatment is nine to eighteen months.
Regular dental visits are required during the treatment, until it is determined that your treatment is complete.
