The Invisalign system uses a series of almost invisible, removable plastic trays or 'aligners' which fit snugly over your teeth, progressively straightening them to create your perfect smile.
The aligners are made to fit your teeth (and your teeth only). Using state of the art computer imaging technology, each aligner is slightly different from the next, meaning that your teeth can be gently moved and realigned over the course of the treatment.
Invisalign aligners are clear and almost invisble when worn. Unlike other orthodontic treatments, Invisalign aligners are comfortable and removable. Patients can eat and drink as normal during treatment, and it is easy for them to keep their mouths clean and fresh.
As the world's most advanced orthodontic treatment, Invisalign has transformed the smile of more than 2.5 million people living in 45 countries worldwide. Because the aligners are almost invisible when worn, most people won't spot that their family, friends or work colleagues are wearing the aligners.
Invisalign's invisibility makes it an ideal treatment for adults and for teenagers that are self-concious, enjoy sports or play wind instruments.
Once your Invisalign treatment has started, you will wear each set of the invisible aligners for two weeks. The aligners are held in place by attachments that are bonded to your teeth. These attachments are very small tooth-coloured lumps, and at the end of the treatment they are polished off with no long-term harm to the teeth.
Most Invisalign Tooth Straightening treatments last between 9 and 18 months.
This is completely subjective and varies based on the position of your teeth and the complexity of the movements involved. To find out exactly how long the treatment will last for you, please visit us for a complimentary consultation.
