"I have always thought about having straight teeth since being a teenager. I am so glad I took the plunge even years later as an adult. I knew nothing about the process. The team at Smile were kind, informative and professional, putting no pressure on me. I felt completely supported throughout. Just a few months later my teeth look great and make me smile everyday. Thank you Rafal and team!"

The 4 steps to your new smile

Step 1

We will take you through the Case Assessment, which is a simple set of photos to determine whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment.

Step 2

If treatment is right for you, we’ll take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. Then we’ll create you a digital treatment plan, using our state of the art technology, showing you what your results could look like via a 3D video.

Step 3

We'll give you a series of aligners to wear every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks (as directed by your Dentist). You can comfortably wear your aligners for 22 hours a day (the recommended daily wear). And because they're removable, it’s easy to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your usual diet.

Step 4

We'll invite you back to the practice around every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and hand over your new aligners. At the end of your treatment, you will need to wear your retainers to maintain your new smile.

All you need to know about Invisalign

A beautiful, smile is a powerful thing. It can change your outlook, help you overcome inhibitions and give you greater confidence – in both your professional life and when you are out socialising.

With Invisalign, you can achieve this smile without using traditional fixed braces. This Fact Sheet provides information about the Invisalign System, so you can discover if a clear, convenient and comfortable teeth straightening treatment is the right course of action for you.

If you've ever thought about improving your smile, Invisalign could be the clear way forward.

What is Invisalign?

Developed by Align Technology together with leading orthodontists in 1997, Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made clear aligners. Comfortable, clear and removable – Invisalign transforms your smile without disrupting your life. Something that over 8 million people worldwide have already discovered

Invisalign Aligners...

Are comfortable and nearly invisible.
Gently and continuously move your teeth in small increments.
Are worn for approximately two weeks. Then you switch to a new set of aligners.
Are removable so you can eat whatever you want and maintain good oral hygiene.

Treatable issues...

By using advanced technology, Invisalign can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues that were previously treated with traditional braces – from minor tooth movements to more complex cases. These issues include:

Overly crowded teeth.
Widely spaced teeth.
Cross bite.
Deep bite.
Under bite.

How does the treatment work?

It takes approximately between 9 and 18 months to create a new smile using Invisalign.
Getting there takes just four simple steps:

You meet with an Invisalign Provider for a consultation about your treatment., based on your treatment plan and your dental records, a virtual 3D treatment plan is generated that shows you the expected movement of your teeth from their current position to the desired final position.
Once you and your Invisalign Provider have approved the treatment plan, the aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth. The number of aligners varies for each person.
You wear your aligners about 20 to 22 hours every day, except to eat, brush, and floss, or for a specific occasion.
Every two weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners. The aligners will gradually move your teeth towards their final prescribed position.

The Benefits.

Custom-made to fit your teeth and your lifestyle, Invisalign offers many benefits beyond your brand-new smile:

Nearly-invisible aligners mean hardly anyone will notice that you are straightening your teeth.
The removable aligners allow you to maintain your dental hygiene, brushing and flossing as usual.
You can also remove the aligners briefly to eat, drink or for special occasions.
Even before you start treatment you'll know how long your treatment may take and what your teeth are expected to look like at the end.

How much does Invisalign cost?

As with other types of orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign is dependent on the complexity of your issue and your course of treatment. Although only an Invisalign Provider can determine the final cost, prices for Invisalign treatment vary. Find out prices here.
