Invisalign® aligners won't get in the way of your lifestyle!
The Invisalign system gives you the freedom of a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without the use of bulky, traditional braces. Don’t stop living your life, the ‘barely there’ aligners allow you to eat all your favourite foods and stay active.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of clear plastic removable orthodontic aligners to gently move your teeth in small increments. For the best results, Invisalign clear aligners are to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Each aligner is slightly different, you’ll wear a set of aligners for one to two weeks or as prescribed by our orthodontist, before moving onto the next set.
