Invisalign – the clear alternative to braces
Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.
Invisalign is safe, easy to use, and easy to remove, with some treatments complete in as little as six months!
Comfortable, clear and removable – Invisalign transforms your smile without disrupting your life. Something that over 2.5 million people worldwide have already discovered.

Invisalign FAQs
Will wearing Invisalign alter my speech?
Common to other orthodontic treatments, Invisalign aligners may cause a temporary and slight lisp for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to the aligners in your mouth, this lisp should disappear.
Will Invisalign treatment be painful?
Some people may experience temporary discomfort that could be described as a feeling of pressure. This is normal during the first few days of each new stage of treatment as the aligners work to straighten your teeth and usually goes away after a few days.
Are there restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?
No. Since aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything, there are no limitations to what you can eat.
Will smoking stain the aligners?
As smoking can discolour aligners, we advise against it.
How often must I wear my aligners?
We recommend you wear your aligners at all times, except when eating, brushing, or flossing.
How often must I see the Invisalign dentist?
Regular appointments will be scheduled to ensure that your teeth straightening plan is progressing as planned.
