Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a series of clear aligners that are worn approximately 22 hours a day. They are an extremely aesthetic and barely noticeable method of aligning your teeth and correcting your bite.
The aligners are removable for eating and brushing and allow you to keep your teeth thoroughly clean during treatment. Invisalign is the fast, modern way to straighten your teeth without anyone even noticing.
Consultation
Start by booking an Invisalign consultation – you have the option of a free consultation with our Treatment Coordinator for an overview of Invisalign, or a full paid for consultation with one of our clinicians.
Clincheck
You will have a digital scan taken of your teeth which is used to fabricate your clear aligners. You are also able to visualise a video of the plan for your teeth before you start treatment. This is called a Clincheck.
Aligner Fitting
You may need some teeth polishing to slenderize them and allow the correction of crowding. You may also need tooth-coloured buttons attached to certain teeth to hold the aligners in and place pressure on certain teeth.
Treatment
You change to a new aligner every 1-2 weeks. You remove your aligners to eat and drink or to brush and floss your teeth, but otherwise the aligners must be worn at all times. 22 hours wear per day is recommended.
