Patient transformations
How does this treatment work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next stage.
How long does the treatment take?
Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of the case, but most treatments are completed within 6 to 18 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalised timeline.
Can I eat and drink with the aligners?
Yes! Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods. Just be sure to remove them before eating or drinking anything other than water and brush your teeth before putting them back in.
Will it affect my daily routine?
The treatment is designed to fit seamlessly into your life. You can remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and special occasions, but it’s important to wear them for 20-22 hours a day to achieve optimal results.
Is it suitable for everyone?
It is effective for most mild to moderate orthodontic cases, including crowding, gaps, and bite issues. During your consultation, we’ll determine if it’s the right treatment for you.
Are the aligners noticeable?
The aligners are made of clear plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
What happens after the course of treatment?
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back to their original position.
Is it safe?
Yes, Invisalign is FDA-approved and made from smooth, BPA-free plastic. It is a safe and effective treatment when provided by a qualified dentist or orthodontist.
