One of the main drawbacks of traditional fixed braces is their visibility. Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit your teeth. The virtually invisible aligners reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of.
The convenience of the Invisalign® system have made it the choice of over three million people who now smile with confidence.
Invisalign® uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made ‘aligners’ are produced. Each aligner moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.
What’s more, a virtual 3D treatment plan (ClinCheck©) shows the series of movements your teeth will go through over the course of treatment. This allows you to see upfront what your teeth are expected to look like at the end of the treatment. From the results of the ClinCheck© treatment plan, your custom-made, clear aligners are produced especially for you.
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible so hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth
Invisalign® aligners can be removed to eat, drink, brush and floss. They can also be removed for special occasions
Invisalign® is comfortable as there are no metal brackets or wires to irritate your gum on the inside of your mouth
Even before your Invisalign® treatment is finished you will begin enjoying the benefit of a straighter smile. Teeth alignment will start right from the beginning
You can view your virtual treatment plan before you start which means you can also view your finished result
Your child’s teenage years can be hard enough without the added burden of being worried about their smile. Problems with their teeth can make children and teenagers incredibly self-conscious, and can even start to affect their confidence and self-esteem.
Invisalign® offers a range of treatment options for teenagers. The great benefit of Invisalign® is that it provides an aesthetic, more flexible way to give teenagers the confidence of a great smile.
Invisalign® aligners are comfortable, removable and nearly invisible, which means teenagers can carry on enjoying life without the restrictions, irritation and self-consciousness often associated with metal brackets and wires. Invisalign® aligners are also removable, so teenagers can continue brushing and flossing normally.
Arrange a no obligation free consultation with our Invisalign® orthodontist. You can explain your specific requirements at this consultation. The approximate duration of treatment, treatment plan and cost will be discussed at this consultation.
Upon accepting the treatment plan we take accurate impressions of your teeth and detailed photographs of your face, profile and smile. This is sent to Invisalign® who create a 3D image using 3D scanning technology in order to produce a detailed analysis of the number of aligners required to straighten your teeth
After a few weeks your entire sequence of aligners are ready to collect and full instructions on usage and maintenance are provided for you. Each aligner gently guides your teeth into the correct position and is worn for two weeks, before moving to the next aligner in sequence and usually lasts 9-12 months. Your dentist will monitor your treatment progress approximately every six weeks.
