Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, fully removable, and custom-made for each patient — a digital orthodontic treatment that gradually straightens your teeth without traditional metal braces.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign pioneered clear-aligner orthodontics and remains one of the most established names in the field, having straightened the teeth of more than 6 million patients worldwide, a number that keeps growing.
Who Can Get Invisalign?
Anyone with healthy teeth, gums, and jawbone, and whose second molars have erupted, can be a candidate. Patients are generally at least 13-14 years old.
What If I Skip Wearing My Aligners for an Event?
One of the biggest advantages of aligners is that treatment is flexible around your life. You can remove them for a special occasion, as long as you keep to the recommended daily wear time overall.
What Cases Can Invisalign Treat?
As the technology has advanced, Invisalign can now be used for the vast majority of orthodontic cases. A consultation with an Invisalign-certified specialist is the best way to confirm it's right for your bite.
Can I See My Results Before Treatment?
Yes, with digital scanning at your consultation, we can generate a preview of your treatment outcome before you commit to aligners.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
Treatment time depends on how much movement is needed. Minor spacing or crowding cases can finish in as little as 3-6 months, while more complex cases can take 12-18 months, similar to traditional braces. Your consultant gives you a specific estimate from your own 3D scan before treatment starts.
Caring for Your Aligners
Aligners are removed to eat and drink anything other than water, and brushed gently with a soft toothbrush before being put back in, the same way you would clean a retainer. For the best results, aligners should be worn 20-22 hours a day, only coming out for meals and cleaning.
Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
Both move teeth using the same basic principle, sustained gentle pressure over time. Invisalign’s main advantages are that it is removable, far less visible, and generally more comfortable day to day, since there are no wires or brackets to irritate the cheeks. Traditional braces remain the better option for the most complex bite corrections, where fixed, continuous force gives more predictable control.
