CLEAR ALIGNER ORTHODONTICS

Invisalign

Clear aligners planned around tooth movement and bite.

Invisalign uses removable clear aligners to move teeth in planned stages. Suitability depends on the movements required, the bite and how reliably the aligners can be worn.

The essentials

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. They’re virtually invisible, removable and comfortable — so you can straighten your smile without interrupting your everyday life.

Frequently asked questions
How does Invisalign work?+

A sequence of custom clear aligners moves the teeth gradually according to a digitally planned prescription. Progress is reviewed and refined where required.

Am I suitable for Invisalign?+

Invisalign can treat many crowding, spacing and bite problems. Some complex movements are better treated with fixed braces or a combined approach.

How long does treatment take?+

Most adult treatments take around 6–18 months depending on complexity and how consistently aligners are worn.

Will it affect my speech?+

A slight temporary lisp can occur when you first start wearing aligners, but most people adapt within a few days.

How often do I need to wear the aligners?+

Usually 20–22 hours per day, removing them for meals, drinks other than water, brushing and flossing.
