Case selection is extremely important for this treatment. We recommend Invisalign® for cases with moderate to severe issues such as overbites, underbites and crossbites. Generally, if there is a need to straighten more than four teeth, we recommend this treatment. We also recommend this treatment in instances where a patient is looking for a discreet solution and doesn’t want metal braces.

Pretty similar to a traditional brace, gradually moving teeth to produce the final result. Every two weeks, you wear a new set of aligners; each new aligner is designed to shift teeth to the desired position.

Anybody who:

• has minor crowding in both arches
• is over 16
• had braces in the past and the teeth have moved back since, owing to not wearing retainers
• is uncomfortable wearing metal braces

It involves five main steps :

Consultation – A discussion around your needs and expectations from the treatment. Our private dentist establishes case suitability and takes a set of photos as part of the assessment.

ClinCheck – We take x-rays and a digital scan or impressions of your teeth. A couple of weeks later, we present you with a 3D simulation to show you what your teeth could look like after the treatment.

Invisalign® Aligners – We give you a series of aligners (clear braces) that have been manufactured specifically for you. You change your aligners to a new set, every two weeks.

Monitoring movement of teeth – We constantly supervise, particularly in the early days to track the movement of teeth. These reviews happen every four weeks, then gradually every 6 weeks. These reviews allow us to make small refinements to ensure a successful treatment plan.

Results – At the end of treatment, we provide you with retainers that you must wear; otherwise, your teeth can relapse back to the old position.

The simple answer – it depends. We know it is not the most straight forward answer, but it really depends on:

• How complex the case is, i.e. the level of alignment required
• How disciplined you are with wearing your aligners

In any case, your dentist will be able to advise a realistic timeframe at the time of your consultation (before treatment proceeds). On average, it takes about 12 months, but noticeable results are seen in as little as four weeks.

All the time. Only remove it to brush, floss, eat and drink. The more you wear the aligner, the quicker and more effective your treatment will be. Think of it this way – if you aren’t wearing the brace, it’s not going to work!

With every new aligner, you will notice a change. Each aligner is designed using algorithms to move teeth. The changes will become more pronounced as you progress through your journey. Most patients report a remarkable change around week 12.

No. Initially it takes a little while to get used to it, but you soon get very used to wearing the aligners.
