Invisalign is a different kind of braces system than you may be familiar with. Instead of metal brackets and wires pulling the teeth into position, it uses thin, clear mouth guards to gently nudge the teeth into place over time. Each pair of aligners is custom-made and specially designed to move your teeth.
As the aligners are clear, Invisalign is almost invisible: only a professional (or perhaps your mum) would notice you are wearing them. They are taken out for eating and cleaning, so are easy to maintain and to fit into your lifestyle.

What is Invisalign?
Developed by Align Technology together with leading orthodontists in 1997, Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made clear aligners. Comfortable, clear and removable – Invisalign transforms your smile without disrupting your life. Something that over 8 million people worldwide have already discovered.
Invisalign Aligners...
- Are comfortable and nearly invisible.
- Gently and continuously move your teeth in small increments.
- Are worn for approximately two weeks. Then you switch to a new set of aligners.
- Are removable so you can eat whatever you want and maintain good oral hygiene.
Treatable issues...
By using advanced technology, Invisalign can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues that were previously treated with traditional braces – from minor tooth movements to more complex cases. These issues include:
- Overly crowded teeth.
- Widely spaced teeth.
- Cross bite.
- Deep bite.
- Under bite.
How does the treatment work?
It takes approximately between 9 and 18 months to create a new smile using Invisalign. Getting there takes just four simple steps:
- You meet with an Invisalign Provider for a consultation about your treatment., based on your treatment plan and your dental records, a virtual 3D treatment plan is generated that shows you the expected movement of your teeth from their current position to the desired final position.
- Once you and your Invisalign Provider have approved the treatment plan, the aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth. The number of aligners varies for each person.
- You wear your aligners about 20 to 22 hours every day, except to eat, brush, and floss, or for a specific occasion.
- Every two weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners. The aligners will gradually move your teeth towards their final prescribed position.
The Benefits
Custom-made to fit your teeth and your lifestyle, Invisalign offers many benefits beyond your brand-new smile:
- Nearly-invisible aligners mean hardly anyone will notice that you are straightening your teeth.
- The removable aligners allow you to maintain your dental hygiene, brushing and flossing as usual.
- You can also remove the aligners briefly to eat, drink or for special occasions.
- Even before you start treatment you'll know how long your treatment may take and what your teeth are expected to look like at the end.
