The Best Way to Straighten Teeth
Teeth can be aligned orthodontically using either braces or clear aligners.
Invisalign is recognised as the world’s leading clear aligner system. Its custom trays are crafted using precise 3D digital scans by experienced professionals and are fitted in person to ensure maximum comfort and discretion. Treatment can be completed in as little as 6 months, with noticeable improvements in just a few weeks. The trays are removable and easy to clean, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods while maintaining excellent oral hygiene and that fresh, clean-mouth feeling.

For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
Straight teeth not only enhance your appearance but also help prevent expensive dental and medical issues.
You may think that crooked teeth aren’t a problem if they don’t bother you, but properly aligned teeth are essential for optimal function and long-term health. Teeth need to be in the correct position to work effectively and last a lifetime.
- Fractured or damaged front teeth, or potential tooth loss
- Food becoming lodged between teeth
- Difficulty with flossing and maintaining oral hygiene
- Increased susceptibility to cavities between teeth
- Gum disease, which can raise the risk of systemic health problems such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, and stroke

When Is a Good Time to Start?
You may have been considering straightening your teeth for a while, or perhaps your dentist recently recommended it as necessary. Either way, delaying treatment only adds more time to your dissatisfaction and increases the risk of tooth damage or related health concerns. It’s also important to keep in mind that teeth continue to shift over time.
In a few years, your teeth are likely to be more misaligned than they are now.
The more adjustment your teeth require, the longer the treatment process will take. Addressing alignment issues sooner makes the process faster, easier, and more cost-effective than waiting until the problem becomes severe.
Don’t worry—treatment is budget-friendly. You won’t be required to pay the full amount upfront, and our office is happy to discuss the payment options that work well for many of our patients.

What Can You Expect Once You Begin Your Treatment?
Our goal is to help you achieve overall health and a confident smile, starting with a strong foundation. This means aligning your teeth so they are properly positioned and function as they should. It’s never too late to experience the benefits of straighter teeth, no matter your age.
Your Treatment Plan
The journey begins with advanced digital scans of your teeth, which are used to design your personalized treatment plan. With Invisalign’s cutting-edge software, we can precisely forecast how your teeth will shift throughout the treatment. We can even show you a visual progression of your teeth—what they’ll look like in weeks, months, and at the end of your treatment. Once your digital plan is finalized, your custom aligners are created using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art 3D printing technology.
The First Aligners
When your aligners are ready, small attachments may be temporarily applied to your teeth to help keep the aligners securely in place. These attachments are discreet, nearly invisible, and will be removed once your treatment is finished.
Follow-Up Appointments
You’ll receive a series of clear aligners to wear for about two weeks each. With each new set, your teeth will gradually move closer to their ideal position. Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled approximately every 1-2 months to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign offers a more comfortable and less visible alternative to braces. These clear, custom-fit trays are nearly invisible, so most people won’t even realise you’re wearing them. They are also removable, which is convenient for special occasions like presentations or dates. Unlike braces, which can scratch or irritate the inside of your mouth, Invisalign trays are smooth and gentle. If they do irritate your gums, adjustments can be made easily. Invisalign uses a gentler force to shift only a few teeth at a time, making it much more comfortable than traditional braces.
Invisalign adjusts your teeth gradually over time. Minor changes are often completed within a few weeks with little discomfort, while more significant adjustments take longer to ensure comfort throughout the process. Some mild discomfort may occur, but if you experience any pain, let us know immediately.
Invisalign treatment typically takes between 6 and 12 months to complete, depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients notice some movement within the first 6 weeks of wearing their aligners. The extent of changes needed will determine the overall duration of your treatment, regardless of the orthodontic method you choose.
It’s important to remove your aligners twice daily to clean both the trays and your teeth before putting them back in. Each time you remove your aligners, rinse them thoroughly before reinserting and avoid leaving them exposed to open air when not in use. You can soak your aligners in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals, then rinse them carefully before wearing them again. Avoid eating or drinking while wearing your trays, and do not use toothpaste to clean them. Detailed care instructions will be provided when you receive your first set of aligners.
Eating with your aligners in is not advised. The force of chewing can damage or crack your aligners, and it’s inconvenient and messy to eat while wearing them.
Yes, Invisalign aligners should be worn while sleeping. They must be worn consistently, day and night, except when eating or drinking, to ensure your teeth shift effectively over time.
