Invisalign
Straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently move your teeth into place.
About Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional braces that straightens your teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Virtually invisible and removable, they let you straighten your smile discreetly — without metal brackets or wires — and you can take them out to eat, brush and floss as normal.
Using digital 3D planning, we map out the precise movement of your teeth from start to finish, so you can even preview your expected result before you begin. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal position.

Is it right for you?
Invisalign is great for teens and adults wanting to fix crowding, gaps, and many bite issues discreetly. Very complex cases may need braces or specialist orthodontics — we'll advise honestly at your consultation.
Recovery & aftercare
Wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, clean them daily, and wear your retainers as directed afterwards to prevent your teeth from drifting back.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?expand_more
Most treatments take around 6–18 months depending on the complexity of your case. We'll give you an estimate at your consultation.
Is Invisalign painful?expand_more
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two when starting a new set of aligners — a sign they're working. It's generally more comfortable than traditional braces.
Will I need to wear a retainer afterwards?expand_more
Yes. Teeth naturally tend to drift, so wearing a retainer as directed is essential to keep your results long-term.

Yes — there's an Invisalign option designed for teens. We'll assess whether it's suitable for your child's specific needs.
