What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic procedure that corrects teeth alignment issues in the form of clear tray aligners. They are easy to wear, removable aligners made of a specially blended plastic, customised for your teeth’s measurements.
These aligners are strong enough to gently move your teeth into their desired position, similar to the way traditional braces work, but providing a more comfortable experience than braces. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for those who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign treatment process begins with a consultation with a qualified dentist or orthodontist to assess the patient’s eligibility for treatment. After determining suitability, a personalised treatment plan is created, including impressions of the teeth to produce a series of aligners, which the patient wears over several months to gradually move their teeth into alignment.
Invisalign clear trays are made from your teeth measurements and customised to ensure efficiency. The trays have to be worn for 20-22 hours a day for them to work.
Even when you’re wearing the tray, you will have no trouble speaking or smiling. It is comfortable and provides a more seamless look as the clear material blends with your teeth. The trays have to be removed when you eat and again when you brush your teeth after your meal.
The aligner trays are changed every one to two weeks. These series of aligner trays will feel a little different as they are designed to continue shifting and moving with your teeth.
Invisalign are made of plastic, similar to retainers, but they provide a different function. Retainers are designed to hold your teeth in place, while Invisalign moves your teeth and jaw to correct the alignment.
Invisalign Technology
Invisalign technology has revolutionised the field of orthodontics, offering a modern and precise approach to teeth straightening. Invisalign technology utilises:
3D Scanning:
Invisalign uses a state-of-the-art 3D scanner to create a detailed digital model of your teeth. This allows for precise measurements and a comprehensive view of your dental structure.
Custom Treatment Plan:
The advanced software allows for a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan outlines the number of aligners required and the duration of the treatment.
Clear, BPA-Free Aligners:
Clear, BPA-Free Aligners: The aligners are made from a clear, BPA-free plastic material, SmartTrack, that is both comfortable and safe to wear. They are designed to be virtually invisible, providing a discreet orthodontic solution.
Gradual Teeth Movement:
The aligners are engineered to gradually move your teeth into their desired position over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next set.
Ongoing Monitoring:
Throughout your Invisalign treatment, your dentist will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your custom treatment plan. This ensures that your teeth are moving as planned and that you achieve the best possible results.
Invisalign’s cutting-edge technology and personalised approach make it a highly effective and convenient option for straightening teeth. With the guidance of our experienced dentists, you can achieve a confident new smile.
The Invisalign Process
Getting an Invisalign alignment is easy. It starts with a dental consultation with your cosmetic dentist. During this consultation, your dentist will check your teeth, jaw, and mouth and assess for any misalignment. The goal of the Invisalign process is to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably.
Your cosmetic dentist will then take impressions of your mouth to get the correct measurements. These are sent to Invisalign, where your clear aligners are made and customised.
Your dentist will then create a dental treatment plan for you. This includes the duration of the treatment, any required dental treatments aside from Invisalign, as well as any relevant care tips — these are all to help you achieve the best possible result.
Initial Invisalign Consultation
At the initial consultation, you and your dentist will have a chat with you about the Invisalign, including the process, expectations, and results. Here, you are encouraged to ask questions about the cosmetic dental procedure in order to make an informed decision.
X-Rays, Photographs, and Getting the Impressions
Once you decide to have Invisalign, your dentist will take X-rays and photographs of your mouth, teeth, and face from different angles to create your detailed dental map. This will serve as the basis for the dental work.
Your cosmetic dentist will finally take impressions of your mouth for your measurements.
Prior Dental Treatments
In order to achieve straight and healthy teeth, you might be required to undergo prior treatments. An example is small composite patches. These patches are applied to each tooth, as these will help the Invisalign clear aligner have a strong grip on your teeth in order to move them.
This is not always needed though, your dentist will decide whether any prior treatments are necessary.
Fitting
On your first fitting, your new Invisalign clear aligners may feel strange in your mouth, this is normal as you are still adjusting.
Your dentist will then check-in and ask you how the aligners feel on your mouth. They should be tight as they are there to cause active movement, but it shouldn’t be painful.
If you feel pain when wearing your Invisalign, don’t hesitate to tell your dentist right away so that we can fix it for you.
Expectations When Wearing Your Invisalign
As you are adjusting to your new Invisalign aligners, you may feel some changes in your mouth. Don’t worry, this is all part of the adjustment.
Some of the expected changes that are normal for you to feel during this adjustment period include:
Aching
This is to be expected because the trays are moving your teeth to their desired positions. This aching will happen for the first few days after every time you change your tray (trays will get changed every one or two weeks), but it will stop after a few days.
Sensitive Teeth
Your teeth may feel sensitive to hot or cold beverages or food. There are specialised toothpaste options available to help you relieve this. Talk to our caring staff for sensitive toothpaste suggestions.
Speech
You may initially experience a difference in the way you enunciate. This is because the trays take up space in your mouth, limiting the space for your tongue.
To speed up the adjustment period, we recommend sticking to the recommended wear time of 20-22 hours per day.

How to Care for Your Invisalign Aligners
To ensure the success of your Invisalign treatment, it’s essential to properly care for your aligners. Here are some tips to keep your aligners in top condition:
Rinse with Cold Water and Mild Soap:
After removing your aligners, rinse them with cold water and a mild soap to keep them clean. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
Use a Soft-Bristled Toothbrush:
Gently brush your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove any plaque or food particles.
Avoid Chewing Gum or Sticky Foods:
While wearing your aligners, steer clear of chewing gum or eating sticky foods, as they can damage the aligners.
Store in a Protective Case:
When not in use, always store your aligners in a protective case to prevent loss or damage.
Clean Regularly:
Clean your aligners regularly to prevent bacterial build-up and maintain oral hygiene.
By following these care tips, you can ensure that your Invisalign treatment progresses smoothly and effectively. Proper maintenance of your aligners is crucial for achieving the best possible results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Invisalign and traditional dental braces?
Invisalign is an orthodontic procedure that corrects teeth alignment issues in the form of clear tray aligners. They are easy to wear, removable aligners made of a specially blended plastic, customised using your teeth’s measurements.
These aligners are strong enough to gently move your teeth into their desired position. The material is also clear, so they are hard to spot when someone is wearing them.
Traditional dental braces are also an orthodontic dental treatment to correct teeth misalignment. However, they are not removable, so they are typically less comfortable, and they are much more visible because of the metal wires.
How long before I can start seeing results?
One of the benefits of Invisalign is that it delivers fast results. Your dream smile will typically be ready in as fast as 6 months. If you want to see results fast, you must stick to the recommended 20-22 hours of wear a day.
Do I always need to wear my Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign are removable, so your clear aligner can be taken off to eat, when brushing and flossing your teeth, as well as when cleaning the tray.
Apart from this, we highly recommend that you wear your Invisalign aligner for 20-22 hours a day, especially when you are sleeping. This way, it can work away while you sleep.
How much does the treatment cost?
The dental treatment costs may vary depending on factors such as the current state of your teeth, as well as how much improvement is needed to fix any misalignment.
