Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that uses virtually invisible orthodontic appliances to straighten your teeth. The treatment itself involves fitting removable and clear plastic aligners that have been specifically moulded to your teeth.

• Invisible: Unlike traditional braces, which have metal brackets and wires which are highly visible, Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them virtually invisible.
• Removable: Invisalign aligners are removable, which makes brushing your teeth and cleaning your aligners a straightforward business. It also means that, unlike with metal braces, there are no dietary restrictions.
• Faster appointments: Invisalign visits are much quicker as there are no wires to be tightened.
• Comfort: Traditional braces’ wires and metal parts can scratch the mouth’s inside. Invisalign aligners are smooth and do not need to be tightened, making them much more comfortable.

Generally, Invisalign treatment can last up to 18 months, with the average being around 12 months. It all depends on the severity of your case. With this in mind, a healthcare professional can determine the length of time.
