Invisalign® is a custom-made set of clear plastic aligners that are comfortable and invisible compared to traditional braces. As a result, invisalign® aligners are often called ‘invisible braces.’ However, if you want to straighten your teeth using the latest technology, Invisalign is your best choice.

Eligible patients are those who can wear the Invisalign® aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day. It is also the most recommended treatment for older teenagers and adults.

After initial consultation, our clinic will be able to give you an approximate cost as it varies on the complexity of the case.

Custom aligners are created after taking a mould of your teeth. The use of the mould is to create a digital scan. Or another option would be by directly scanning your teeth using the latest imaging technology. The scans are used to create your custom aligners. Your new aligners are shaped to apply pressure in the right places to shift the alignment of the teeth. Based on your orthodontist’s recommendation, your aligners might need to be changed every one or two weeks.

It may take a day or two for your mouth to get the feel of the Invisalign® aligners. It varies from person to person and is a temporary effect. Although the recommendation is to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours per day for best outcomes, you may remove them for significant events.

However, removing the aligners for smoking or using tobacco is not recommended. The aligner trays may become impacted and can lead to issues with the overall wellness of your mouth and other organs.
