Orthodontics is a discipline of dentistry concerned with the alignment of teeth. In addition to producing a more attractive smile, proper dental alignment can also improve jaw and chewing function for a healthier mouth. Teeth that are perfectly aligned are also simple to keep clean, ensuring healthy gums and continued excellent oral health.

What exactly is Invisalign?

Invisalign employs a series of clear, removable aligners – described as a thin barrier coating the teeth – that are replaced every week and gradually shift the position of the teeth. They are scarcely noticeable, so the majority of people won't even notice you're wearing them.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign® transforms your appearance with a series of custom-made aligners. Each aligner must be worn for one to two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series. During the course of your treatment, you will visit your dentist every 6-8 weeks for progress checks and minor adjustments.

How long does the procedure last?

Treatment durations are highly dependent on the nature and complexity of the patient's condition. The average duration from start to completion is 12 to 18 months, but it can be shorter for teeth that are only mildly crowded.

What are Invisalign's advantages?

The primary benefits are appearance, oral hygiene, and comfort. Clear aligners are nearly invisible and straighten teeth without obtrusive metal brackets, unlike traditional braces. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can practise good oral hygiene without having to work around the metal wires used in conventional braces.

With comfort in mind, Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional braces, resulting in a straighter, more confident smile.
