Crooked teeth can affect your smile and confidence, but clear aligners offer a fast, discreet, and comfortable way to achieve a straighter smile without the hassle of traditional braces.
Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that gently and precisely moves your teeth into position using a series of custom-made trays. These aligners are virtually invisible when worn and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, making them an ideal solution for busy lifestyles. With most cases completed in around 6 months, depending on complexity, treatment is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine without drawing attention.
Treatment is fully digitally planned, improving both accuracy and the efficiency of tooth movement. Using a 3D digital scan of your teeth, we can map out every stage of your journey and ensure predictable, high-quality results. This advanced approach allows us to make precise adjustments along the way, giving you complete confidence in your treatment.
We can also show a simulation of your potential results before you begin, so you can visualise your future smile with clarity. This means you’re fully informed and involved from the very start. With clear aligners, achieving a beautifully straight smile has never been more convenient, comfortable, or tailored to you.

Invisalign® and composite bonding are a highly popular combination for a complete smile makeover. We often recommend starting with Invisalign® first, as it helps to:
This is one of the reasons we do not recommend at-home teeth aligners, as they often fail to properly address bite alignment, which can compromise the long-term results of composite bonding. Treatment with Invisalign® under the care of a dental professional helps ensure the bite is correctly positioned before any cosmetic work is carried out.
The same principle applies when combining Invisalign® with porcelain veneers. In many cases, the bite is first corrected with Invisalign® before completing the smile makeover with veneers and, where needed, dental bridges for a balanced and long-lasting result.
A common issue we see is patients who require both Invisalign® to straighten their teeth and dental implants. In these cases, we typically recommend a short course of Invisalign® to align the teeth first, followed by implant placement once the ideal positioning has been achieved.
In some situations, Invisalign® can also be used to create the necessary space for dental implants. For example, a patient may undergo Invisalign® treatment to open up a space for an implant, which is then placed to restore function and create a more balanced, symmetrical smile.
Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria to build up because it is harder for you to brush and floss effectively.
Gaps between teeth occur when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can create pockets between your teeth and gums and trap food, making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.
An open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of foods like apples.
An underbite is when you close your mouth, and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.
An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.
A crossbite is when you close your mouth, and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.
The exact length of treatment time will be different for everyone and depends on your individual case. In a lot of situations, Invisalign® can produce results within 6 months, but in more complex cases, it can take anywhere from 9 to 18 months.
Yes, clear aligners such as Invisalign® are designed to be removable. This is so you can brush your teeth, and eat and drink more easily.
In order to see the results you want in the original time we’ve projected, you must wear your clear aligners every day for 22 hours or more.
To keep the teeth moving into their correct positions, you’ll switch out aligners every 1-2 weeks.
Patients find clear aligners much more comfortable than traditional fixed braces, and Invisalign® are custom-fit to your teeth and mouth. You might experience some discomfort when you first start wearing aligners, but you should get used to them in no time.
