Why Choose Invisalign?
The Invisalign clear aligners, unlike metal braces, are virtually invisible and removable, offering a more flexible and comfortable personalised treatment plan.
Invisalign treatment can help people who have a deep bite, crowding, or gaps, which is why the Invisalign brand has become so sought after.
Here’s a look at the benefits of Invisalign treatment:
- Virtually invisible
- Removable braces make it easier to consume food and drink
- Easier to maintain good oral hygiene and gum health
- Comfortable
- Trackable progress toward a healthier smile
- The average treatment time is usually shorter than that of traditional braces
The custom treatment plan provided during the Invisalign process allows for a non-invasive way to straighten teeth, which is why many dental clients look favourably at undergoing the Invisalign treatment.
The Invisalign process step-by-step guide
Step 1: Your Initial Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. An Invisalign doctor will assess your teeth, oral health, and orthodontic issues. Using advanced treatment planning software, we create a customised treatment plan that maps how your teeth will gradually move into their desired position.
Step 2: Creating Your Custom Aligners
Based on digital scans or physical impressions, a series of custom aligners is created specifically for you. These smooth plastic aligners are virtually invisible and designed to fit snugly over your teeth.
Each set of aligners is worn for a set period, gradually applying gentle pressure to guide tooth movement.
Step 3: Wearing Your Invisalign Aligners
You’ll need to wear your removable aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign allows you to keep your teeth clean and enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions.
Some minor discomfort is normal as teeth adjust, but this typically fades quickly.
Step 4: Progress and Regular Check-Ups
Throughout the Invisalign treatment process, you’ll attend regular check-ups to monitor progress and receive new aligners. Each new set continues to move your teeth slightly closer to their final position.
For some patients, refinement trays may be used near the end of treatment to achieve the perfect smile.
Step 5: Retention Phase and Your New Smile
Once your teeth are straight, you’ll enter the retention phase to help maintain your results. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting and protect your future smile long term.
The result is a healthier, straighter smile that’s barely noticeable during treatment — and life-changing once complete.
