Treatment Overview
Custom-made for your teeth.
Used by over 16 million patients worldwide.
Invisalign is a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment plan that uses a series of clear plastic aligners.
The removable mouth trays (aligners) are laser-trimmed to fit your gum line for comfort and appearance.
Unlike traditional fixed dental braces, no metal brackets or wires are used, so you spend less time visiting us for adjustments.
A custom Invisalign treatment plan will be created from a fast, precise digital scan of your teeth. The computer generates 3-D images of your mouth, showing what your teeth will look like after each aligner and after finishing treatment.
As you replace your aligner every two weeks, each aligner applies the right amount of force to the right place at the right time, using painless but steady pressure over several months to gradually move and straighten your teeth into their correct positions in a shorter time frame than conventional Orthodontics.
Invisalign is the world’s most advanced transparent aligner system, backed by over two decades of innovation.

Invisalign treatment Before and After
Invisalign can be used for simple or complex cases, including closing gaps, overcrowded or crooked teeth and over-/under or cross-bites
Invisalign Outcome Simulator with our iTero Scanner
Visualise how your teeth will look after Invisalign treatment with our state-of-the-art iTero scanner.
Any tweaks or adjustments can also be made in real time, so you can show us exactly how you want your smile to look.
The scans also create a time-lapse simulation to see how your teeth will change with each new aligner.
Get a high-resolution, interactive image of your teeth and track your progress at every appointment.
Instead of the traditional method of taking impressions of your mouth using uncomfortable trays and messy putty, the iTero Scanner is a digital impression system.
Using a small optical wand to scan the inside of your mouth, a high-quality, detailed 3D image is created to help design your treatment plan.
The scanner provides a more accurate, faster, and more comfortable way to capture impressions of your teeth and gums, giving you a more precise aligner fit than with physical impressions.
Invisalign FAQ
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign braces move your teeth by applying gentle, constant force.
You should expect they may feel strange and tight for the first few days.
Some people do feel minor discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners.
Can I take my aligners off whenever I need to?
You can remove your aligners for eating and drinking.
You can also take them off when playing sports or for special occasions, such as a job interview or a wedding.
Remember to wear them for 20 to 22 hours daily for the best results.
Will I be able to talk properly while wearing aligners?
You may have a slight lisp in the first couple of days as you get used to wearing your aligners, but this should disappear quickly.
How long will treatment take?
Usually, treatment takes 12 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
How often will I need to see the dentist?
You’ll need to come in and see us every 6-8 weeks to ensure your treatment schedule is progressing as planned.
What if I lose or break an aligner? What should I do?
If you lose or break an aligner, let us know immediately.
We can work with you to ensure you stay on track with your treatment plan, which may involve wearing a previous set of aligners, starting your next set earlier, or ordering replacements.
Will Invisalign work if I only wear my aligners while I’m asleep?
You must wear them for 20 to 22 hours daily to achieve the desired results.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?
It’s recommended that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment use a retainer to prevent their teeth from moving back to their original positions.
