Invisalign
The virtually invisible way to a straighter smile
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment using clear, comfortable, and removable aligners to straighten your teeth discreetly. With Invisalign, you can achieve your dream smile without metal wires or brackets, and you don’t need to change your diet or lifestyle for effective treatment.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign works by gradually moving your teeth using a series of aligners, each worn for one to two weeks. Each set of aligners moves your teeth closer to their desired position. Treatment duration varies from 7 weeks to 24 months, depending on your specific needs.
Benefits of Invisalign
Comfortable Invisalign aligners are designed for comfort, with precise impressions ensuring a secure fit and a careful gum-line trim for added comfort.
Discreet Made from clear, durable plastic, Invisalign aligners are hardly noticeable, making them a great choice for a cosmetically pleasing orthodontic treatment.
Removable You can remove Invisalign aligners to eat and drink, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Simply take them out for meals, clean your teeth, and put them back in.
Minimally Invasive Invisalign applies gentle, gradual pressure to straighten your teeth, ensuring a comfortable treatment experience.
Innovative Using cutting-edge technology, Invisalign employs 3D scanning for accurate impressions and SmartTrack material to straighten teeth with maximum comfort.

Wearing Aligners Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks, gradually moving your teeth towards the desired position. You’ll have check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Completion After treatment, we take impressions of your straightened teeth to create a retainer, essential for maintaining your new smile. Retainers can be fixed or removable to prevent teeth from shifting back.
