Invisalign® is an easy, discreet, pain-free and time efficient path to your new smile.
Invisalign is a teeth straightening (orthodontic) treatment that uses incredibly discreet clear aligners that fit over the teeth (rather similar to teeth whitening trays) which gradually move your teeth into their desired position. Invisalign is the most popular orthodontic treatment in the world with over 10 million completed cases from over 100 countries.
Why choose Invisalign over traditional metal braces?
For many people – especially adults – the idea of wearing easily noticed metal “train track” braces for a year or more is incredibly off-putting. This reluctance has led many people to avoid taking action to correct poorly aligned teeth, even though doing so would improve their health, appearance and self-confidence.
Or at least that’s what used to happen – these days both adults and teenagers are able to take advantage of Invisalign’s clear aligner technology and get straight teeth and a beautiful smile without others noticing.
Benefits of Invisalign
- Discreet – your new clear aligners will be almost invisible when worn
- Comfortable – every set of aligners is custom-created just for you (and your dentist is on hand to make any further adjustments as needed)
- Removable – your invisible aligners can be removed for easy cleaning and meals – meaning you can eat whatever you like
- Fast-acting – Invisalign aligners can often produce results faster than traditional braces
- Proven – as the world’s leading clear aligner technology, Invisalign has been thoroughly proven in millions of cases worldwide

The iTero Scanner
Say “goodbye” to old-fashioned, messy dental putty impressions!
- When you visit us for your free Invisalign consultation, we’ll use our cutting-edge iTero scanner to create a 3D digital image of your teeth that you can see in real time – and with no need for X-rays or biting into gooey dental impression trays!
- Using this scan, we can map out all the required movements of your teeth and create a personal treatment plan that will project your Invisalign journey over the coming months.
- Even better, we’ll be able to show you a visualisation of your aligner treatment from start to finish so you can see how your teeth will look once your treatment is complete, all before treatment starts.
