Invisalign
The Invisalign 3D computer technology allows us to show you the simulated treatment plan from start to finish.
Your teeth are gradually moved into alignment by aligners, which are changed every six to eight weeks, with your dentist overseeing until your teeth are in the desired position.
Invisalign treatment is an aesthetically appealing orthodontic option for many people who don’t want the metal wire look often associated with traditional braces.
You can easily remove the aligners throughout your treatment in order to eat as normal, to brush and floss your teeth and for special occasions. Invisalign treatment is virtually invisible, providing you with a discreet orthodontic treatment that achieves great results.
Why choose Invisalign?
- Virtually invisible: a discreet option if you do not want the look of metal braces.
- Removable: take them out to eat, brush and floss, and for special occasions.
- Custom designed: each set of aligners is made for your teeth.
- Plan ahead: a 3D simulation shows how your teeth will move from start to finish.
