What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a digital orthodontic system that utilises a series of clear aligners (trays) to gradually shift your teeth into the desired tooth position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible and can be taken out, allowing patients to eat, brush and floss. with ease. Each set of custom-made aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next set of trays, gradually aligning the teeth over time. Invisalign® clear aligners are popular for their aesthetic appeal and convenience, making it a preferred choice for adults or teens seeking a discreet way to improve their smiles.
Benefits of Invisalign®
Properly aligned teeth provides a range of health benefits:
-
Aesthetics: Crowding, spacing and unaesthetic tooth alignment
-
Preventive Care: By aligning the teeth properly, the risks associated with grinding such as excessive tooth wear, gum recession, and notches at the gumline is reduced.
-
Enhanced oral hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing plaque buildup and staining, thereby promoting a healthier oral environment and even reducing the risk of periodontal disease.
-
Minimally invasive treatment: Invisalign facilitates more conservative aesthetic smile makeovers by positioning your teeth optimally before further treatments, ensuring minimally invasive, or non-invasive techniques are required.

Invisalign FAQs
We’ve pulled some of the most frequently asked questions and answers from www.invisalign.com/frequently-asked-questions
What is Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign Treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
How will Invisalign treatment straighten my teeth?
Your Invisalign Doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Invisalign Doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
Am I guaranteed to have straight teeth with Invisalign treatment?
Every smile is unique, which is why your Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation. During your consultation, your Invisalign Doctor will help you determine what Invisalign treatment could do for your smile. We cannot guarantee a particular treatment outcome, but encourage you to share your treatment goals with your Invisalign Doctor at your consultation.
What is the treatment process?
Invisalign Treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 6 months. But you'll start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
