Invisible braces allow you to straighten your teeth without the use of traditional metal braces with brackets and wires. Instead, the invisible option utilizes clear alignment trays that gradually guide your teeth into the correct position. In most cases, other people won’t ever be able to tell that you’re even wearing braces at all! The aligners are so thin, so clear, that they’re virtually invisible.
Invisible Braces offer many advantages over metal braces
There are no dietary restrictions with our clear braces, because you remove the aligners during each meal and place them back into your mouth when you’re finished
Comfort and convenience of invisible braces put them at a great advantage when it comes to choosing what type of orthodontic care you need. Every aligner provides an exact fit that avoids any discomfort or irritation to your mouth. With traditional braces, you must avoid certain foods and drinks that can damage your metal brackets or cement. There are no dietary restrictions with our clear braces, because you remove the aligners during each meal and place them back into your mouth when you’re finished.
Caring for your clear braces is a breeze. They’re easy to keep clean; just take them out to brush and floss your teeth as normal. With clear braces, patients can expect stronger tooth enamel, lower rates of gum disease, and healthier teeth than patients wearing cumbersome traditional braces. We offer two types. Which one you choose is based on your lifestyle and budget.
Invisalign: The world leader
Invisalign is a virtually invisible braces system that utilises the very latest orthodontic technology. It firmly yet comfortably repositions your teeth into preplanned positions. Treatment is safe, provides predictable results and offers a convenient and extremely discreet way for adults and teenagers to straighten their teeth.
The system uses clear plastic aligners that fit tightly over your teeth. The plastic is so thin that the aligners are practically invisible. All you need do is wear the aligners every day. You can wear them while eating so long as the food is cool. Each set is used for two weeks before changing to the next set in the series to continue moving your teeth.
Clearline: Simple, fast, and affordable
The most affordable solution that we provide are Clearline braces. At your consultation appointment we will discuss your needs, expectations, and present a virtual treatment plan that will show you what your smile will look like after your treatment is completed. Within two weeks you’ll be wearing your aligners, and you can expect to finish your treatment in up to 50% less time than traditional braces. Not only do Clearline and MTM braces take a fraction of the time, they’re also available at a fraction of the cost compared to other popular alignment brands.
What is treatment like?
Because we treat minor tooth misalignments and the appearance of your front teeth, your treatment visits are simple. We send your alignment trays home with you ahead of time, and you just change them out every 2 weeks. Periodic checks every 6-8 weeks will allow us to make sure that your treatment is progressing properly so that you can expect exceptional results.cWe will write the date on the packages of aligners so you remember when you should change them.
Every Treatment Plan is Custom Designed
Each treatment with Invisalign is very carefully planned. During your consultation, we will take photos, x-rays and detailed dental impressions to create a digital 3-D copy of your teeth. This information is used create your customised treatment plan and allows us to map out precisely how each tooth will move and to calculate the time required to complete the procedure. Using these digital images, we can show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move as treatment progresses and you can see the planned results, even before you wear your first aligner.
It is normal to experience some mild discomfort when you begin to wear a new set of aligners but this should quickly settle down within a day or two. Once you have completed treatment we can supply comfortable retainers made from the same clear plastic. These will be monitored by the dentist for 2 years but we recommend retention for life. After 1-2 years your teeth will remain at risk of relapse unless you take special care to wear your retainers at least once per week. You invested time and effort to make your smile perfect so why wouldn’t you want to keep it that way?
