Are you one of the millions of adults in need of braces who are unhappy, self-conscious or even embarrassed of your smile?
Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile or talk. They feel stuck because they do not want to wear adult metal braces for years or they are concerned that other corrective teeth straightening procedures could be too invasive or too expensive. Now, there is an effective, safe and affordable cosmetic braces solution that fits your lifestyle: Invisalign.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary “invisible” system for straightening crooked teeth and closing gaps between the teeth. Invisalign treatment consists of a series of removable clear aligners that you change every 2-3 weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened into a position that gives you a natural looking, straight smile.
What’s more, a virtual 3D ClinCheck© treatment plan shows the series of movements your teeth will go through over the course of the treatment. This allows you to see upfront what your teeth are expected to look like at the end of the treatment. From the results of the ClinCheck treatment plan your clear aligners are produced especially for you.

Is Invisalign treatment painful?
As with all orthodontic braces there may be some initial discomfort which subsides quickly. The Invisalign system uses low forces to gently guide your teeth into a more ideal, symmetrical position and this results in minimal discomfort. Furthermore due to the customized manufacture of each aligner there is reduced irritation in the mouth.
Invisalign is removable and this has the benefit of:
- Allowing you to eat and drink what you want
- Easier access to teeth so that excellent oral hygiene can be maintained.
-
Will I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment?
Yes, as with any teeth-straightening treatment a retainer is necessary to maintain the straighter position of your teeth. There are a variety of options that you can choose from according to your personal preference and situation.
