The Best Way to Straighten Teeth
Teeth can be straightened using either traditional braces or clear aligners.
Invisalign is widely recognized as the most advanced clear aligner system available. Custom trays are crafted using highly accurate 3D digital scans, taken by dental professionals, and are fitted personally for optimal comfort and discretion. While treatment may take as little as 6 months, you’ll notice changes in just a few weeks. The aligners are removable and easy to clean, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods while keeping your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
Straightening your teeth not only enhances your smile, but it can also help prevent costly dental and medical issues down the road.
It may be hard to believe, but straight teeth are an important part of maintaining your overall health. Even if crooked teeth don’t cause you discomfort, proper alignment is necessary for them to function properly and last a lifetime.
- Chipped or missing front teeth
- Food becoming trapped between teeth
- Struggling to floss or clean between teeth

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, we recommend scheduling an appointment with us to assess your oral health and explore treatment options.
When Is a Good Time to Start?
You might have been thinking about straightening your teeth for a while, or maybe your dentist recently recommended it. Regardless, waiting to begin treatment only leads to more months or even years of dissatisfaction, as well as a higher risk of damaging your teeth or dealing with related health issues. It’s also important to remember that your teeth will continue to shift over time.
In a few years, your teeth may be even more misaligned than they are now. The more your teeth need to move to straighten, the longer your treatment will take. It’s quicker, more affordable, and easier to address alignment issues before they become more severe.
Rest assured, treatment is affordable, and you won’t need to pay the full amount all at once. We offer flexible payment plans that many of our patients use, and our team is more than happy to go over these options with you!

What Can You Expect Once You Start Your Treatment?
Our goal is to help you achieve both optimal health and a beautiful smile, starting with a solid foundation. This means aligning your teeth so they function properly and efficiently. You’re never too old to benefit from straightening your teeth.
Your Treatment Plan
The journey begins with digital scans of your teeth to create a personalised treatment plan. Using Invisalign’s advanced software, we can predict how your teeth will shift over time and even show you how they will look in weeks, months, and at the end of your treatment. Once your digital plan is finalised, custom aligners are created using Invisalign’s cutting-edge printing technology.
The First Aligners
When your aligners arrive, temporary fasteners may be needed. These are discreetly bonded to your teeth to help secure the aligners, but don’t worry—they’re mostly invisible and are removed at the end of your treatment.
Follow-up Appointments
You’ll receive a new set of aligners every two weeks. As you progress through each set, your teeth will gradually shift into their final position. Regular visits to our office, typically every 1-2 months, will ensure everything is on track and your treatment is progressing as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign is generally more comfortable and discreet compared to traditional braces. The clear, custom-fit aligners are barely noticeable, and most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them. Plus, they can be easily removed for important events like presentations or dates! The smooth surface of the clear trays won’t irritate the inside of your mouth, unlike the brackets from braces, which can cause discomfort. If your aligners cause any irritation, they can be easily adjusted. Invisalign uses gentler pressure, gradually shifting your teeth one at a time, making it a much more comfortable option than traditional braces.
Invisalign gradually moves your teeth with minimal discomfort. Minor adjustments can occur within a few weeks with very little pain, while more complex changes take longer to ensure maximum comfort. While some discomfort may occur, it should be manageable. If you experience pain, let us know so we can assist you.
Typically, Invisalign treatment takes between 6 to 12 months to fully straighten your teeth. However, many people begin to notice movement in as little as 6 weeks after starting with their first set of aligners. The more changes you want to see, the longer your treatment will take, no matter which orthodontic method you choose.
To care for your Invisalign trays, remove them twice a day to clean them and brush your teeth before placing the trays back in. If you remove your aligners at any point, rinse them before reinserting them, and avoid letting them sit exposed to air. You can soak your aligners in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals and rinse them thoroughly before putting them back in. Avoid eating or drinking with your trays in, and never use toothpaste to clean them. We’ll provide you with specific care instructions when you receive your first set of aligners.
No, you should not eat while wearing your aligners. Eating with your trays in place can damage or crack them due to the strong forces involved in chewing. Plus, it’s messy and uncomfortable to eat with Invisalign in your mouth.
Yes, you should wear your aligners all day and night, except when eating or drinking. Your clear aligners need to be worn consistently to gradually shift your teeth into place, so wearing them even while you sleep is essential for achieving the best results.
