Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth using gentle forces over a shorter period of time than conventional orthodontics would take.

Straighter Teeth

Straightening teeth is now a much more popular option when trying to improve the aesthetics of the front “smiling” teeth. In the past if teeth were crooked we would consider veneers or even cut teeth down to crowns to perfect a smile. We now understand the cost to the tooth to these treatments and would much prefer to conserve the tooth tissue, hence the increase in tooth straightening treatments.

Clear Aligners

Conventional orthodontics uses brackets and braces and for some people the thought of this, even if they are tooth coloured,  puts them off this treatment. By using the Invisalign treatment we can bypass the need for brackets. Clear aligners are made that you wear for at least 20 hours a day. These are changed for a new aligner every two weeks thus moving the teeth gradually and gently.

Fast Teeth Straightening

Average treatment times are 12-15 months, slightly longer than the cosmetic orthodontic bracket options but these aligners are virtually invisible and very comfortable. They can be removed when eating or if a function is planned but most activities can progress with them in place, including sleeping!.
