Invisalign – the clear alternative to braces.
Teeth straightening has become a real option for adults who have long endured the embarrassment and discomfort of crooked teeth. Dr Mark researched widely about the options before finally deciding he would offer Invisalign braces treatment to patients wanted to correct their teeth.
Invisalign is a technology that uses clear, plastic aligners to gently move teeth into a more attractive and healthier position, using computerised, custom-designed precision treatment. While Invisalign isn’t an option for everyone, if it is, there are many benefits to be enjoyed.
Invisalign is ideal if you…
Have avoided straightening your teeth because it meant having a mouth full of metal and enduring sharp metal edges that can cut the tongue or lips.Want to maintain your teeth cleaning regime, without worrying about deterioration in your teeth. Don’t want to make multiple visits to the orthodontist for tightening.

Treatment time will depend on several factors, including the amount of movement needed to achieve straight teeth, your age, and the current condition of the teeth to be moved.
On average, Invisalign braces treatment is on par with the duration of metal braces treatment, although sometimes straightening can be achieved faster.
You can expect to wear the Invisalign plastic aligners for anywhere between 12 and 18 months.

There is no risk of catching the metal on lip tissue, and because aligners are removable, you can periodically remove them to eat or floss.
You may experience mild discomfort when new aligners are attached, but this should subside quickly. Remember, the aligners are gradually moving your teeth into their ideal position, so a little bit of pressure or soreness is normal.
