Get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted
Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. It’s been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart, or have shifted since wearing braces, you’ll have a new reason to smile.

The latest technology makes it possible.
Upon an initial examination, your dentist decides if Invisalign is right for you. Your dentist will write a treatment plan and take an impression of your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign carefully translates your dentist’s instructions into a series of precisely customised aligners. You then wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth, gradually - week by week, millimeter by millimeter - until you’ve achieved the intended result: straight teeth.
Generally, you visit your dentist no more often than you would with braces and the length of treatment is about the same.
No braces. Nothing to hold you back.
Because there are no dental wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable. And because it’s removable, eating, brushing and flossing are no problem. You can still enjoy your favourite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to hide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Tooth Straightening
Q: How does Invisalign word?
A: Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign translates your dentist’s instructions into a series of nearly undetectable aligners. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually week by week, millimetre by millimetre until you’ve achieved the desired result.
Q: Is this treatment effective?
A: Thousands of dentists are treating patients with Invisalign. It works for a wide range of people whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between them, as well as for those whose teeth may have shifted after having worn braces in their youth.
Q: How often will I have to wear my aligners?
A: Invisalign only works while you’re wearing the aligners. It’s recommended that you wear your aligners full-time except to eat, brush and floss your teeth - or as directed by your dentist.
Q: How long does it take?
A: The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which determines the number of aligners you need. However the average is about 12 months, but only your dentist can determine the length of your treatment.
