Invisalign®
Having a confident smile can change everything. Invisalign® makes the decision easy, because you can get a stunning smile without most people even noticing you’re going through treatment. Invisalign® is a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
The Invisalign® system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth over time to improve your smile.
The Invisalign® system has been shown to fix a wide range of issues. It can easily find a place in your lifestyle. Since it’s virtually invisible, you can go about your daily routine with almost no one even knowing you’re correcting your smile. The ability to remove your aligners is an advantage other treatments can’t offer.
Once you decide to improve your smile, the rest is easy.

The advantages of Invisalign® treatment
- Healthier gingiva (gums) with less plaque, tooth decay and periodontal disease (gum disease).
- Decreased risk of trauma and abnormal wear on teeth.
- Your teeth will be easier to clean and you will reduce the risk of systemic disease.
- Less invasive and more conservative and aesthetic restorations are possible after treatment.
- The treatment is clinically efficient and a broad spectrum of patients can benefit from it.
Other advantages of Invisalign® treatment over braces
- No white spots or decalsification lesions on tooth surfaces.
- No reported root resorption (shortening).
- Your treatment plan can be visualised.
Step 1
During the initial visit, your dentist will evaluate, assess and discuss the course of treatment with you. Your dentist will take bite impressions of your teeth and will send these to Invisalign® for processing.
Step 2
Invisalign® uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners.
Step 3
During your next visit to your dentist, you will receive your first set of clear aligners. Your dentist will most likely give you a few additional sets to wear before your next visit.
Step 4
You’ll wear each set of clear aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Patients, on average, complete treatment in approximately a year. You’ll visit your dentist at regular intervals to check your progress.
Step 5
When you’re finished wearing each clear aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have straighter teeth and a confident smile.
