Invisalign® can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, misalignment, gaps, and incorrect bites. Straightening your teeth not only improves your smile’s aesthetics but also enhances your facial harmony.
Enjoy the life-changing benefits of a straighter smile. Many patients report a confidence boost even during treatment thanks to the virtually invisible clear aligners.
Why choose Invisalign for your smile?
A popular choice for adults and teens, Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective way to achieve your dream smile. Forget uncomfortable metal brackets and wires – Invisalign uses clear aligners for gentle and gradual tooth movement.
The custom-made aligners progressively shift your teeth into their desired positions. Simply wear each aligner for the recommended 20-22 hours daily and let the gentle forces work their magic. Invisalign seamlessly integrates into your lifestyle, requiring no dietary changes. The aligners are removable for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.
Invisalign’s innovative clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn, offering a confidence boost throughout treatment. No one needs to know you’re on your way to a stunning smile until they see you beaming more often!
What does Invisalign treatment involve?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently move your teeth into their new positions, creating a beautiful smile.
Step 1: Initial consultation
During your initial appointment, we’ll examine your teeth and take 3D scans and images for a precise aligner fit. We can even utilise advanced digital technology to show you a preview of your post-treatment smile!
Step 2: ClinCheck & treatment plan
The scans and images are used to create your personalised treatment plan. ClinCheck® software allows us to visually demonstrate how your teeth will move throughout your Invisalign journey.
Step 3: Gradual straightening
You’ll wear each aligner in the series for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next. Each aligner gradually moves your teeth, step-by-step, until your new smile is achieved. The aligners control movement timing and amount based on your customised plan, ensuring a smooth treatment process. We closely monitor your progress at appointments, making minor adjustments if necessary for optimal results.
Step 4: Smile with confidence!
Once you’ve finished wearing your final aligner, your treatment is complete! We’ll provide you with a final retainer to maintain your new smile alignment for the long term.
Benefits of Invisalign
- Virtually invisible: Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic and are barely noticeable when worn. This makes them a great option for adults and teens who are self-conscious about their appearance during orthodontic treatment.
- Removable: Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy your favourite foods during treatment.
- Comfortable: Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic and are custom fitted to your teeth, making them more comfortable to wear than traditional braces.
- Effective: Invisalign is a gradual and gentle treatment, slowly moving the positions of your teeth. It can be used on a range of issues, including misalignment, gaps and overcrowding.
- Innovative: Invisalign uses the latest digital technology in every step, from the 3D scanning used to capture accurate images of your teeth to the SmartTrack material engineered to straighten teeth with maximum comfort.
- Improved oral hygiene: Because Invisalign aligners are removable, it’s easier to brush and floss your teeth properly during treatment. This can help to prevent cavities and gum disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Invisalign aligners comfortable to wear?
Yes, Invisalign aligners have been designed with comfort in mind, enabling you to easily wear them for up to 22 hours a day. They fit snugly over the teeth and have no metal brackets or wires to irritate the skin.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
You need to wear your aligners for around 22 hours a day in order for your treatment to be most effective. You can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing your teeth and playing contact sports.
What are Invisalign aligners made of?
The Invisalign aligners are made from strong medical grade thermoplastic material, which has been uniquely developed for the Invisalign system.
What should I do if I lose an aligner?
If you lose one of your aligners, please contact us as soon as possible for further advice. In the meantime, you can wear an aligner from your previous set to prevent your teeth from moving too far out of line. We may also advise that you move straight onto your next set of aligners, depending on your individual case.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length varies from case to case, but most Invisalign treatments are completed in 9-18 months. Straightforward cases have a faster treatment time, whilst patients needing more complex straightening can expect to wear their aligners for longer. We can advise you of your expected treatment time after your initial consultation.
