1. What are the main benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign is comfortable to wear and offers many benefits, including;

• Nearly invisible
  No one will even know you are wearing it!
  
  
• Removable
  Invisalign will not impact your dietary or oral hygiene habits. You can eat and drink, brush and floss normally to maintain optimal dental hygiene.
  
  
• Comfort
  Requiring no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign reduces mouth irritation and oral sores generally associated with traditional braces. This also means you will spend less time in the dental chair.
  
  
• See your future smile before you begin treatment
  Using the latest computer technology you can view your straight teeth on the monitor before you even commence treatment.

2. How does Invisalign move my teeth?
With advanced 3D imaging equipment, custom-made aligners are created in accordance with your oral situation. Your aligners exert mild pressure in desired areas. Change them about every two weeks and your teeth will move little by little, towards the smile you have always wanted. You visit us every month or two to check your progression and get your new aligners.

3. What are aligners made of?
Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic which is virtually invisible when worn.

4. What do aligners look like?
Invisalign aligners are clear and look similar to tooth-whitening trays. They are custom-made so they fit nicely to your teeth.

5. Are many people treated with Invisalign?
Invisalign is used worldwide and over 500,000 patients have been treated with Invisalign. This number is growing daily!
