What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a system for straightening teeth without the use of conventional fixed braces.
The treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every week. Each aligner is made from a scan of your teeth fabricated, and customised to fit your own teeth
As you change each aligner your teeth move, little by little, week by week until they have straightened to their final position.
The aligners are designed using advanced 3D technology called a ClinCheck® to produce a simulation of the tooth movements throughout your treatment.
The ClinCheck® shows the series of movements your teeth will make over the course of your treatment. An example is shown below.
