Clear aligners, no brackets
Clear aligners. Nobody will notice.
Most people come for the way it looks, but the technique also buys you health: better chewing, less wear and far easier brushing.
How to get the smile you have always wanted, and gain in health
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are clear trays made from a medical-grade thermoplastic, built to the exact shape of your teeth so they gradually take the position the orthodontist has planned. After a thorough study, the specialist draws up a treatment plan with the movements needed. That becomes a set of aligners you swap every week or every ten days, as prescribed.

Retention
Teeth have a memory and tend to drift back. That is why we fit retainers, removable or fixed.
What people ask us before coming in
Not finding your question? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer it.
WhatsAppIs invisible orthodontic treatment painful?
You may feel some discomfort, mostly in the first few days, when the teeth begin to move. One of the great advantages of aligners is that they do not cause the sores and cuts that brackets do.
How long will my treatment take?
A specialist has to judge that, because it depends on where your teeth start from.
Can I eat anything?
Yes. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you like.
Are they hard-wearing?
They handle the forces needed to move teeth perfectly well. Patients who grind at night have no trouble, because the aligners are changed every one or two weeks.
Is it a treatment for everyone?
Almost any malocclusion can now be treated with clear aligners, in adults and children alike, but it must always be the orthodontist who judges each case.
How often will I have to come in?
Usually every one or two months, depending on the movements and the stage of treatment. With Dental Monitoring part of the follow-up happens remotely.
What is the difference between the invisible orthodontics brands?
The pioneering brand is Invisalign, and it is the one we use in every case. No technique treats the patient on its own: the orthodontist does the treatment, which is why choosing a good one matters so much.
