Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners, the number of which is based on your tooth prescription, which gradually move the teeth into the desired alignment. The aligners are custom-made for the individual and each one is slightly different to encourage the gradual movement of teeth.
The major benefit of Invisalign® is that the aligners are made from clear plastic and practically invisible. Also, the aligners are removable and you do not have to change your diet or make any drastic changes to how you clean your teeth. The aligners are very comfortable and perfect for someone who has an active work and social life.
Many people are put off having orthodontic treatment by the prospect of wearing unsightly braces for a long period of time – but this need not be the case with the discreet option of Invisalign® ‘invisible’ braces. You can get a perfect, straight smile without anyone even noticing you are undergoing braces treatment.
The Invisalign process involves wearing a series of specially designed aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. These aligners need to be worn for at least 21 hours per day to achieve optimal results. Every two weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners, each one moving your teeth closer to their final position. This method ensures a precise and predictable alignment process.
When compared to traditional braces, Invisalign offers several advantages:
Removable: Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed, allowing you to eat and drink freely without restrictions.
Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, making them a discreet option for straightening teeth.
Ease of Oral Hygiene: Since the aligners are removable, you can maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine without difficulty.
Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack material, which is designed to move your teeth predictably and comfortably without the irritation often caused by metal braces.
With over two decades of innovation behind it, Invisalign is a proven and effective treatment for achieving a beautiful smile.
Invisalign is versatile and can address a variety of orthodontic issues, improving both the appearance and health of your smile.
Gaps between teeth can occur due to abnormal growth of the jawbone or missing teeth, which can lead to gum problems and tooth decay.
Crowding happens when there is not enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit normally, causing them to overlap and become crooked.
An open bite occurs when some teeth are unable to make physical contact with the opposing teeth for a proper bite, often affecting speech and chewing.
An underbite is when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth, which can interfere with normal function and cause jaw pain.
An overbite happens when the upper front teeth overlap significantly with the lower front teeth, potentially leading to gum problems and wear on the lower teeth.
A crossbite is when some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside, which can cause tooth wear, gum disease, and bone loss.
Malocclusion refers to any misalignment of the teeth, which can affect your bite, speech, and overall oral health.
Invisalign not only improves the appearance of your teeth but also enhances your overall oral health. The aligners make it easy to maintain good oral hygiene, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease by allowing for proper brushing and flossing. Proper teeth alignment can prevent cavities and gum inflammation, ensuring a healthier smile.

What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative method for straightening teeth using clear, removable aligners. It is a popular alternative to traditional braces due to its discreet appearance and convenience.
Do You Wear Invisalign All Day?
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for at least 21 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment depends on factors such as the complexity of your case, the number of aligners needed, and patient compliance. Treatment can range from as little as 6 months to around 12 months on average.
Can You Eat With Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners should be removed before eating. This allows you to enjoy your meals without restrictions. It is important to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
Is Invisalign Suitable For Me?
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues and is suitable for both adults and teenagers. Our team at Dental Arts Studio will assess your specific needs to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
How Do I Clean My Invisalign Aligners?
Clean your aligners using lukewarm water and Invisalign cleaning crystals. Brush your teeth thoroughly before reinserting the aligners.
Will Invisalign Affect My Speech?
You may experience a slight lisp during the initial adjustment period as your tongue gets used to the aligners. This typically disappears quickly.
Is Invisalign Treatment Painful?
Invisalign treatment may cause some initial discomfort as your teeth begin to move, but this is usually temporary. The aligners use gentle, constant force and do not have sharp edges or metal parts, making them more comfortable than traditional braces.
