Invisalign® aligners won't get in the way of your lifestyle!
The Invisalign® system gives you the freedom of a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without the use of bulky, traditional braces. Don’t stop living your life, the ‘barely there’ aligners allow you to eat all your favourite foods and stay active.
Book a consultation with an Invisalign dentist in the Confident Smile network and start your journey to straighter teeth.
WHAT IS INVISALIGN®?
Treatment with Invisalign® uses a series of clear plastic removable orthodontic aligners to gently move your teeth in small increments. For the best results, Invisalign® clear aligners are to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Each Invisalign® aligner is slightly different. You’ll wear a set of aligners for one to two weeks or as prescribed by your dentist before moving onto the next set.
Advantages of Invisalign® are:
- Nearly invisible
- Removable
- Less discomfort
- Clearer timelines
- Better oral health
Invisalign® uses advanced 3D software technology, allowing you to see your treatment’s end results before you even begin. An orthodontist or Invisalign® trained dentist will be able to advise whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.
