Many people still picture metal braces—and may even worry about extractions. Thanks to rapid advances in dentistry, there’s now a discreet, comfortable option: Invisalign clear aligners. And it’s not just for teens—adults can also achieve the confident smile they want. Below is your guide to the most modern approach in orthodontics.
What is Invisalign?
With nearly 30 years of clinical experience and the world’s largest clear-aligner database, Invisalign helps patients reach and maintain proper tooth position comfortably and effectively—supporting not only a beautiful smile but also healthy chewing function and even clear speech.
Invisalign uses a digitally planned, 3D-printed series of transparent aligners that fit seamlessly into daily life. You change aligners every 1–2 weeks and wear them 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating and brushing. Its global track record speaks for itself: more clear-aligner cases have been completed with Invisalign than with any other system.
Key Benefits of Invisalign

Discreet aesthetics
Medical-grade, transparent plastic aligners fit closely to teeth and soft tissues, making them barely noticeable—no impact on your facial appearance.

Comfortable
No metal ligatures or brackets to rub and cause sores. You change trays at home every 1–2 weeks; check-ups every 2–3 months are typically enough.

Removable & easy to clean
Take them out to eat and brush. Flossing remains easy. Always brush after meals before reinserting the aligners. You can briefly remove them for important meetings—just keep to the 22-hour wear rule.

Fast & efficient
Frequent tray changes and staged movements often deliver quicker results than traditional braces.

Low discomfort
Aligners apply gentle, controlled forces. You may feel mild pressure when switching to a new tray, but no ongoing pain.

Metal-free
No metal components—ideal for patients who prefer a metal-free solution or who are sensitive to metals.
Invisalign: Step-by-Step
1. Consultation
We discuss your goals and evaluate whether Invisalign can effectively address your concerns.
2. Digital scan & planning
A 3D intraoral scan is taken and, using digital planning, we design your tooth movements. Your personalised aligner series is then 3D-printed. We also create photographic records and a digital preview so you can visualise your future smile.
3. Treatment & reviews
After an ultrasonic clean, we place small, tooth-coloured attachments to help the aligners grip teeth. You receive your first set of trays and change them at home until your next review appointment.
4) Aftercare (Retention)
At the end of active orthodontic treatment, wearing a retainer is strongly recommended to maintain the new tooth positions long-term. Retention prevents natural relapse and protects your investment in a straighter smile.
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
Like most comprehensive dental treatments, Invisalign pricing varies. Key factors include:
- Complexity & scope (which teeth/arches are involved)
- Number of aligners required (some cases correct with 7–10 trays, others need 20–24+)
- Any adjunctive procedures needed for stability and aesthetics
- After a personal consultation, you’ll receive an individualised quotation and can decide whether Invisalign or another orthodontic option best fits your goals.
