How does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, proven by over 6 million satisfied smiles. Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners which look similar to a tooth-whitening tray. These aligner trays are made of highly flexible and smooth plastic materials that are worn over your teeth, gently pushing them towards the desired location. By combining the latest century orthodontic technology with precision and accuracy, our dentists can help you achieve your dream smiles with customised Invisalign plans.

Invisalign clear aligners work by progressively moving your teeth into a more desired position. The duration of your Invisalign treatment can vary depending on each case, typically ranging from 6 months to 3 years. The best part of having Invisalign is that most people won’t be able to tell that you’re having treatment because the aligners are virtually invisible.

Every 10 -14 days your dentist will instruct you to change to a new set of aligners that builds on the work of the previous set. At each dental appointment you will receive sufficient aligners that last 8 to 10 weeks.

Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, no matter what age you are and what stage you are at in life, it is never too late to fix your smile. You will appreciate how Invisalign has minimal interference in your daily life, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself. From mild cases of crooked teeth, to much more difficult dental bite issues such as overbite or underbite, Invisalign can effectively correct a wide variety of dental problems.

  1. Nearly invisible: Invisalign is almost invisible because of its minimalist design and clear plastics. This means that you can always smile with confidence without the metal wires and brackets seen in traditional braces
  2. Removable: the removable nature of Invisalign means you no longer need to worry about brackets breaking when you enjoy your favorite food. 
  3. Better oral hygiene: Since Invisalign aligners can be removed, it is much easier to brush and floss your teeth. Whereas braces can make it difficult to clean in between the metal brackets, resulting in plaque build up and poor oral hygiene leading to dental decay.
  4. Less pain: Invisalign uses SmartStage and SmartForce technologies to ensure there will only be gradual and gentle yet effective teeth movement throughout your treatment. The aligners are smooth and non-irritating to your cheeks and gums as compared to traditional braces. 
  5. Fewer dental visits: Invisalign frees up your schedules when you only need to visit your dentist once every 8-10 weeks. 
  6. Clear tracking: Invisalign treatment plan allows you to visualise every stage of your orthodontic treatment, giving you a clear picture of the treatment outcome.
