Invisalign has patented technology which allows for slow forces to be distributed on teeth and bone, so that over a period of time they allow for movement of teeth.

Reasons for choosing Invisalign over tradional braces include:

Invisible Appearance – Invisalign trays are invisible! They are completely clear so they don’t detract from your face or smile. This is an especially great option for adults, teens, and young adults who want to live life without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces.

Comfort –  Invisalign trays are made of smooth plastic, making Invisalign much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. There are no sharp/extruding edges or pieces of Invisalign and the trays are custom made to fit your teeth and mouth!

Improved Cleanliness – Invisalign trays are removable – when you are ready to brush and floss your teeth, just remove the trays, clean your teeth, then pop them back in. The trays themselves can also be cleaned! To make sure there is no build up, just remove the trays and rinse or brush them with your toothbrush. A clean mouth is a healthy mouth!

It is important to have healthy teeth and gums while straightening your teeth so you will have to best smile possible at the end of treatment!

Saves Time – With Invisalign, you will be able to spend less time at the orthodontist or dentist’s office, as they only need to be maintained every 6 weeks on average. Other teeth straightening options can take much more time and many more appointments.

Safe and Removable – Is your child or teen into sports or in a band? Invisalign allows for a more comfortable experience without the scrapes other orthodontic options can cause. Invisalign trays are also removable, which makes brushing your teeth, eating, and everyday life more convenient than other options.

Eat Whatever You Want – Food restrictions are one of the worst parts about teeth straightening, with many orthodontic options. Some of your favorite foods are off limits, which can really ruin a special celebration, with anything too hard, chewy, or sticky being off limits! These issues are not a problem for Invisalign. You can remove the trays and eat whatever you want!

Better Dental Health – Straight teeth are better for your gums and dental health. Eliminating crowding and gaps makes it easier to care for your teeth, better dental health leads to better overall health.

Beautifully Straight Teeth – The results speak for themselves and Invisalign leads to beautifully straight teeth and a wonderful smile. Possibly the best reason to use Invisalign!

Treatment begins with impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a lab where the aligners will be created. Each aligner is created based on images developed using three-dimensional modeling software for a custom fit. Between 18 and 30 aligners will be created for most patients. During treatment, each aligner is worn for about two weeks, then exchanged for the next aligner in the series.

Invisalign® is designed to straighten and properly align teeth just like metal braces. However, instead of relying on metal bands or ceramic plates and wires that are attached to the tooth surfaces, the Invisalign® system uses a series of clear removable trays, similar to the trays used in teeth whitening procedures, to help move teeth into their proper positions over time.

Invisalign® is made of clear, medical-grade plastic, so the aligners are very difficult to see while they’re being worn. The aligners are smooth, so they don’t irritate lips and other soft tissues, and they can be removed for cleaning, making it much easier to brush and floss for better oral health during treatment. Plus, they can be removed for eating, so there are no dietary restrictions. Finally, because each aligner is custom-made for the individual patient, Invisalign® may bring teeth into alignment faster than traditional braces.

Yes, the main advantage is that you can remove the braces when eating and drinking, so it really has no affect on your social and everyday life.

Initially when fitted we usually say for the first 4-5 days patients will feel pressure on their teeth. This is normal, and good and means the braces are working. The discomfort is slight, and usually only happens when the aligners are changed.

Initially speech may be slight different for the first few days, but this always resolves and has never really been a concern. It is very important that oral hygine is done religiously, so teeth should be rinsed or brushed after eating, so that there is no food in between the teeth.

Aligners need to be worn for at least 22 hours a day, we recommend only taking them out when brushing and eating.

Teeth can relapse during treatment, but all you have to do is wear the previous aligner and they will quickly come back on track.

 The aligners are made of a srong medical grade plastic, which are custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth.

Teeth have ligaments that hold them in the jaw, they are like springs, and like springs they will want to try and go back intially to the place they were prior to the treatment. We always fit patients with removable retainers, this is to minimise the relapse and to train the ligaments into adopting the new position permanently.

Vivera retainers are retainers which are made by Invisalign. They are usually an additional cost at the end of treatment, and 3 sets of retainers are provided. This is the ultimate in retainers, and they are deisgned for comfort, we always recommend these.

 Yes, we offer an in-house payment solution, if you have a good credit history we can usually organise finance on the day and get the process started straight away.

Yes, Invisalign can be done at any point in life.
