How Invisalign works

Each Invisalign aligner is precisely shaped to apply gentle pressure to your teeth, moving them in stages towards their target position. You change to a new aligner every 1–2 weeks. We start by taking a digital scan of your mouth and showing you a 3D simulation of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.

Treatment normally takes 12–24 months, with quick check-in visits every 6–8 weeks. Small tooth-coloured attachments may be used to help certain teeth move more efficiently.

Benefits of Invisalign

  • Casual observers can barely notice the aligners
  • Smooth and comfortable — no sores or sharp wires
  • Removable — eat what you want and clean teeth normally
  • No need for adjustments that cause soreness
  • Suitable for around 90% of orthodontic cases

  • Invisalign Full — the most comprehensive option, treats almost all cases.
  • Invisalign Lite — moderate cases, typically around 7 months.
  • Invisalign i7 — mild misalignment, around 3 months.
  • Invisalign Teen — designed specifically for younger patients.
