Invisalign – The Alternative to Metal Braces
Invisalign is a revolutionary dental solution that helps both teenagers and adults achieve straighter teeth with less hassle than traditional metal braces.

We all want beautiful teeth because it gives us the confidence to smile. But straight teeth have many more benefits than improved self-esteem and a gorgeous smile. Here are more benefits many people enjoy:
How it Works
After an initial dental exam and we determine you are a candidate for Invisalign, we will take digital imaging and moulds of your teeth. These will be used by the lab to create a treatment plan with a series of customized trays designed to fit your teeth. Each tray will be worn for two weeks and then you move on to the next tray in your plan until your teeth are in proper alignment. The following steps are what you can expect:
Candidates for Invisalign
Invisalign is a convenient and cost-effective option for many people, however, there are times when traditional orthodontics are a better solution. Situations such as very crooked teeth, large gaps between teeth, teeth that are very rotated or teeth that need to be lowered or raised cannot be helped with Invisalign.

Invisalign – Easy Care and Maintenance
When you get your Invisalign trays, our dental professionals will ensure you have full instructions for individualized proper care and maintenance. The trays must be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day for best results, and you only need to remove them to eat or drink and to clean your teeth and trays. Wearing the trays to sleep may be a bit uncomfortable the first night or two, but then the comfort level improves. On the other hand, not wearing them for the allotted time will lead to more discomfort and allow your teeth to go back to their original position, which may cost more time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign?
This orthodontic system utilises clear, custom-crafted aligners. Discreet and comfortable, Invisalign is an extremely popular alternative to traditional braces. With Invisalign, you’ll be able to achieve a straighter smile as the aligners gradually shift your teeth into the position you desire.
Globally, more than 3 million people have chosen Invisalign to straighten their smile. Because Invisalign is comfortable and practically invisible, it’s easy to see why this inconspicuous aligner system is the clear choice of millions.
What are the primary advantages of Invisalign?
Unlike metal “train track” braces, Invisalign aligners are not noticeable. It’s likely that the majority of people won’t be able to tell you are wearing the aligners. Another massive benefit is you can remove the aligners before meals so you can enjoy all your favourite foods.
With Invisalign maintaining oral hygiene is much easier as you can remove the aligners to brush your teeth. Have a special event such as a wedding or graduation coming up? No worries! You can remove the aligners and just place them back in afterwards.
How does Invisalign work?
Another advantage of Invisalign technology is it allows us to give you a smile simulation so you’ll have a realistic image of how your teeth will appear when treatment is completed. Then we can design your unique treatment plan. Customised aligners will be crafted for each phase of the treatment. Just swap out your aligners every one to two weeks to help your teeth progressively shift.
How long will treatment take?
Each Invisalign treatment is as unique as the patients who walk through our door. The average treatment time is 12-14 months, but it can range from 6-24 months.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
No, you shouldn’t experience any pain while wearing Invisalign aligners. The treatment is considered to be comfortable. The majority of patients report a feeling of pressure and minor discomfort at the beginning of each new treatment stage.
What are the aligners made of?
The aligners are crafted using non-toxic medical-grade plastic. Virtually invisible, they have a smooth appearance.
Will my speech be affected by wearing the aligners?
Getting accustomed to wearing your aligners may take a short amount of time. In particular, you might notice a minor lisp for a day or two, but it will quickly pass. The lisp is caused by your tongue getting used to having the aligners in your mouth.
How often do I have to visit the dentist during treatment?
Once your treatment begins, you will need to book regular appointments with your dentist. Typically, these visits take place every 4-8 weeks. The reason why you will need to see us is to ensure that your Invisalign treatment is proceeding as we planned. You also need to come in for routine exams and hygiene visits.
Is there a minimum age requirement to get Invisalign?
We treat young people from as early as 11 years of age with Invisalign. We also offer Teen Invisalign in the practice. The primary requirement is that patients’ 2nd molars have completely erupted.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign is approximately the same as conventional braces. Because we believe in being transparent, you will know the total anticipated cost of your treatment during your consultation with us.
The cost of your treatment will be based on your unique needs and goals. There are a number of factors that will determine the overall cost of your Invisalign treatment. These include treatment length, the complexity of your case and your treatment goals.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
If your insurance policy covers orthodontics, your Invisalign treatment most likely will be covered. To be sure, we recommend that you check your policy and ask your provider for more information.
