Invisalign.

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, Dr Elyssia treatment plans your case, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.

Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position.

Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by Dr Elyssia, based on your specific needs.

Invisalign aligners move teeth with gentle pressure to guide and move the teeth safely into the desired positions.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign not only controls the amount of movement per aligner, but also the timing of the movement. So at each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move.

This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position in a predictable and comfortable way.

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. No one may even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible aligners, making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.

Invisalign aligners are removable giving you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment by simply removing the aligners. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and to maintain good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional fixed braces, there are no metal brackets or wires. This means that in most cases less time is spent in in clinic for adjustments and is eliminates the risk of broken brackets and uncomfortable wires hurting your gums and mouth.

And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you even begin treatment so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete

Age isn’t usually a factor when it comes to braces, and Invisalign is suitable for children, teens and adults.

As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you’ll be a candidate for Invisalign.

Every person has an individual experience with Invisalign, and the treatment times will vary.

It all depends on how severe your teeth misalignment is to start with. It also depends on your compliance -the longer you wear the trays the faster it works. Adolescents also may see faster results than adults due to their continuing growth.

Treatment can range from 3 months to 2+ years
