Our Invisalign dentists straighten teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move, little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.
Invisalign Benefits
Experience the ideal solution for adults seeking a seamless smile transformation that seamlessly integrates with their lifestyle. Invisalign offers a discreet, removable and comfortable treatment option. With an average treatment duration of 14 months, this aligner-based approach prioritises your convenience. While it may take longer than traditional braces, the timeline ultimately hinges on the complexity of your case, typically spanning between 6 to 18 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide you with comprehensive details tailored to your specific needs.
Comfortable, clear and removable – Invisalign transforms your smile without disrupting your life. Something that over 3 million people worldwide have already discovered.
Whether you require minor adjustments or more complex realignment, Invisalign caters to a spectrum of straightening needs. If your current smile falls short of your aspirations, why not explore the possibilities with Invisalign?
How Do Invisalign Braces Compare to Traditional Teeth Straightening?
Unlike traditional fixed braces, there are no metal brackets or wires with Invisalign. This means that in most cases less time is spent getting adjustments.
Invisalign aligners move teeth with an appropriate placement of controlled movement on the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign not only controls the amount of movement per aligner but also the timing of the movement. So, at each stage, only certain teeth are able to move, as per the Invisalign treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position.
Some people may experience temporary, minor discomfort for a few days, at the beginning of each new stage of treatment when they insert a new aligner. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It is a sign that the aligners are working – moving your teeth gradually, helping you to achieve the final results. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.
Finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you even begin using your aligners, so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.

Why choose Invisalign?
Invisalign makes the process of straightening your teeth more comfortable and convenient. This method of straightening your teeth uses removable plastic aligners which you can take out to eat, drink or brush your teeth, and they’re virtually invisible while you’re wearing them. You’ll be able to carry out your usual routine with confidence and see continual improvements to your smile as you move through each set of aligners. Another advantage of Invisalign is that you won’t need as many follow-up visits as you would with traditional braces, so they’re easier to fit into your lifestyle.

Can aligners straighten teeth?
Many people believe that Invisalign is simply a retainer, but that’s not the case. While you will receive a retainer at the end of your treatment to ensure your teeth stay in place, throughout your treatment you’ll wear a series of aligners which will gently straighten your teeth and move them into place. Each new aligner will build on the previous one, so the patient needs to wear them as instructed to gradually straighten the teeth. Once you’ve worked your way through all aligners, your teeth should be perfectly straight.

Will my teeth shift back after Invisalign?
It’s perfectly normal for your teeth to shift slightly after you stop wearing your Invisalign braces as a result of everyday activities, such as eating and drinking, swallowing and speaking. We’ll give you a retainer once your treatment comes to an end which will help to keep your teeth in the right position and maintain your smile. If you don’t wear your retainer for a few days, it might feel tight and uncomfortable, but provided you wear it consistently, your teeth should stay straight.

How long does it take to get straight teeth with Invisalign?
The time needed to achieve optimal outcomes varies based on the specific treatment needs and any additional orthodontic adjustments required. Rushing the process can lead to discomfort, irritation and potential damage to tooth roots. During your initial consultation, we’ll personalise a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and discuss the anticipated timeline in detail. Prioritising your dental health and overall wellbeing, we’ll ensure a carefully paced approach for the most effective results.
