What is invisalign?
Invisalign® uses clear aligners to move and straighten teeth and work in the same way as fixed wire orthodontics.
It is a more discrete way to straighten your teeth and give you the smile you have always dreamt of.
It has also been shown to reduce the negative effect on your gums, which means your gums will stay healthy during the process, when compared to fixed wire orthodontics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Invisalign Treatment different than other teeth straightening options?
Invisalign is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, backed by more than two decades of innovation. Unlike braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. There are no wires and brackets, so you don’t need to change the way you brush and floss. And, you can continue to eat all your favourite foods.
Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?
None! Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all, while traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy because they can damage or get stuck in your braces
How long does the invisalign treatment take to complete?
It depends on how difficult the case is. It varies from 14 weeks and for more complex cases around 18months. On average most cases are completed around 9 months.
