Consultation and suitability
Your clinician assesses your teeth, gums, bite and goals, explains alternatives and identifies any oral-health care needed before alignment.

A discreet way to bring your smile into line.
Invisalign treatment uses a planned sequence of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually. Each aligner applies controlled pressure before you progress to the next stage of the treatment plan according to your clinician's instructions.
Clear aligners may be suitable for crowded teeth, unwanted gaps and selected bite or alignment concerns. They are removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing, but treatment still depends on wearing them consistently for the recommended time each day.
Your assessment considers tooth position, bite, gum health, existing dental work and the movements needed to reach a realistic result. Some cases may be better managed with fixed braces or another orthodontic approach, which your clinician can discuss with you.
Treatment length and cost vary with case complexity, the aligner plan, any preliminary dental care and whether refinements are needed. After active movement, retainers are essential because teeth can shift without ongoing retention.
What happens during Invisalign treatment?
Your exact sequence and review schedule will depend on your assessment, but a clear aligner journey typically follows these stages.
Digital records and planning
Scans and clinical records are used to plan proposed tooth movements and discuss the intended outcome and limitations.
Wearing your aligners
You progress through the prescribed aligner sequence, removing each set for meals, drinks other than water and oral hygiene.
Progress reviews
Your clinician checks how the teeth are tracking, provides the next aligners and recommends refinements when clinically appropriate.
Retention after treatment
Once active movement is complete, retainers help hold the teeth in their planned positions and require ongoing wear as advised.
Why Invisalign
Teeth straightening designed around everyday life.
Invisalign uses digitally planned, removable clear aligners to address suitable cases of crowding, spacing and bite alignment while allowing patients to eat and clean their teeth without fixed brackets or wires.
Discreet appearance
The close-fitting, transparent aligners are designed to be less noticeable than conventional fixed metal braces, although they are not completely invisible.
Removable when needed
Aligners can be removed for meals and drinks other than water, then cleaned and replaced according to the wear schedule recommended by your clinician.
Maintain oral hygiene
Removing the aligners allows you to brush and clean between your teeth normally, while the aligners themselves also need regular cleaning.
Digitally planned treatment
Digital records support a staged plan, while regular reviews help your clinician monitor tracking and decide whether refinements are appropriate.
