Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays. They are virtually invisible and designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably and precisely. Because they are removable, you can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain your usual routine and oral hygiene. The clear design also makes them far less noticeable than traditional braces.
With no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign® provides a flexible and convenient way to straighten your teeth while maintaining confidence in your smile throughout treatment.
We highly recommend booking a consultation with one of our experienced Invisalign® dentists to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign®. During this appointment, we will assess your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and explain how the treatment works.

Both Invisalign® and traditional braces are effective ways to straighten teeth and improve your bite. The most suitable option depends on your dental needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into position. The aligners are removable, allowing you to take them out when eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy your usual foods without restrictions.
Invisalign® is also a popular choice for patients who prefer a more discreet treatment, as the aligners are virtually invisible when worn. The smooth plastic design is generally comfortable and less likely to irritate the cheeks and lips.
Traditional braces use brackets and wires that are fixed to the teeth and adjusted regularly to guide teeth into alignment. Because they remain attached throughout treatment, they work continuously and are often recommended for more complex orthodontic cases, such as severe crowding or significant bite problems. However, the metal brackets and wires can sometimes cause irritation to the inside of the mouth, particularly after adjustments.

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.
Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.
An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.
An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.
An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.
A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.

Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays. They are virtually invisible and designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
We take a digital scan of your teeth and create a personalised treatment plan showing how your smile will change over time.
You’ll wear a series of aligners, changing them every 1–2 weeks. Each aligner gently moves your teeth step by step into the desired position.
Treatment time varies depending on your case, but most patients complete Invisalign® within 6–18 months. You’ll start to notice changes within the first few weeks.
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink (anything other than water), and clean your teeth.
Invisalign® is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may feel mild pressure when switching to a new aligner, but this is temporary and a sign that the treatment is working.
Invisalign® can correct a wide range of issues, including:
Your dentist will assess whether it’s suitable for your specific case.
Yes – one of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable.
You can eat whatever you like, as long as you remove your aligners first and brush/rinse before putting them back in.
Invisalign® aligners are clear and discreet, so most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
Some patients notice a slight lisp for a few days when they first start, but this usually settles quickly as they get used to the aligners.
You’ll typically be seen every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and receive your next set of aligners.
Yes – retainers are essential to maintain your results. Without them, teeth can gradually move back over time. Retention is as important as the alignment phase.
Clean them daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water as it can distort the plastic. A lot of people now buy dental ultrasonic pods to clean them, as you’ll benefit from using them for your retainers, which are long-term.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case. We’ll provide a full breakdown of fees and payment options at your consultation.
