Clear Smile Aligners and Invisalign

These systems use custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into a more ideal position. The main advantage of clear aligners is they are very discrete and often unnoticeable. They can be removed for eating and maintenance of your teeth.

The aligners are worn for 1-2 weeks at a time for 20-22 hours a day. Treatment times are shorter and most cases are done in a matter of weeks to months.

Clear Smile Aligners and Invisalign FAQ’S

Why use Aligners?
Aligning your front teeth will not only improve aesthetics but will also benefit the long-term health of your teeth. Teeth continue to move throughout one's life so crowding tends to worsen over time. Uneven teeth are prone to uneven wear, causing exposure of dentine that wears fast and absorbs stain. Straight teeth are far less likely to suffer from this ageing effect and expensive corrective treatments can be avoided.
Why are these preferable to others options?
  • You need a discreet teeth alignment treatment.
  • You'd like to be able to remove the aligner.
  • You don't want fixed braces getting in the way of speaking or eating.

When it comes to comfort and discretion, clear aligners are among the most convenient and discreet solutions available today.

They use a series of precision aligners to straighten the teeth little by little. Because the aligners are manufactured from clear plastic, they're virtually undetectable.

How do I use aligners?
You will be guided by your dentist who will advise you when to change your aligners and keep a close eye on how your teeth are moving. Each new removable aligner brings the teeth closer to your desired outcome than the last. It's an easy, gradual approach to straightening.

Clear aligners are custom-designed to fit the unique contours your teeth as they change over time.
