A unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth is created. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. We will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.

The length of treatment depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. We will determine how long your treatment could take based on your specific needs. On average, Invisalign treatment time is 6 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

Like other types of orthodontic treatment, the price of the Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your dental correction and your course of treatment.

The dental practice do have finance options and you can discuss these with one of the treatment co-ordinators as part of your consultation.

If you do have any concerns you will be able to get in touch with one of the team who will be able to discuss your concerns.

None! Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all. With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy, as they can damage or get stuck in your braces.
