What is Invisalign®?
A modern orthodontic treatment using a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth.
Designed to address:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Mild to moderate alignment issues
Benefits:
- Virtually invisible
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- No metal brackets or wires
Treatment Duration:
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs:
- Mild cases: 3–6 months
- Moderate cases: 6–12 months
- Complex cases: 12–18+ months
Aligners are typically changed every 1–2 weeks. Regular check-ins every 4–6 weeks to monitor progress.
How Long Does it Last?
With proper care, results can last a lifetime.
To maintain your new smile:
- Wear retainers as prescribed
- Maintain good oral hygiene
- Attend regular dental check-ups
Can it Be Touched Up?
Yes – bonding can often be polished or repaired without removing or replacing it entirely. Minor chips or stains can be corrected during maintenance visits.
To Maximise Longevity:
- Maintain 6-monthly professional check-ups and cleans
- Avoid biting hard objects or using teeth as tools
- Always wear your night guard if prescribed (especially if you clench or grind)
Does Invisalign Hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort:
- No metal brackets to irritate cheeks or gums
- No tightening appointments
- Mild pressure may be felt when switching to a new set of aligners
