INVISIBLE ALIGNERS

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ALIGNERS

A beautiful, smile is a powerful thing. It can change your outlook, help you overcome inhibitions and give you greater confidence – in both your professional life and when you are out socialising.

With Invisible Aligners, you can achieve this smile without using traditional fixed braces. This Fact Sheet provides information about the Invisalign System, so you can discover if a clear, convenient and comfortable teeth straightening treatment is the right course of action for you.

If you've ever thought about improving your smile, Invisalign could be the clear way forward.

WHAT IS INVISALIGN

Invisalign is a way to transform your smile using a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next aligner in the sequence. This will progressively move your teeth over time into a more aligned position.

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.

BEGINNING & DURING TREATMENT

Once your plan is confirmed, we will order your aligners and book a fitting appointment for these. At the fitting appointment, you will be taught how to put in the aligners and take them out, how to care for them as well as your routine for wearing them.

Throughout treatment you will come in for regular reviews to ensure you’re progressing well through your treatment. If time is not on your side, we can review your progress digitally through the Invisalign App and make your in-person reviews less frequent.
