Flawless Alignment Made Simple with Invisalign

While braces remain a traditional choice for teeth alignment, Invisalign® clear aligners shine as a discreet and trusted solution for all ages, offering unparalleled reliability and a myriad of advantages over traditional braces.

Through Invisalign, you can solve various issues, from gaps between teeth to bite irregularities, while maintaining comfort and flexibility.

By using a series of clear and removable custom-made aligners, Invisalign gently corrects major and minor alignment issues while letting you eat and clean your teeth unhindered.

Mapping Your Smile’s Makeover

Among the advantages of Invisalign is its predictability. Because it uses technology to plan the series of aligners digitally, before you start you can visualise the effects of care via a 3D scan and smile simulation. This digital smile design is part of The Smile Factory’s regular orthodontic assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth and correct misalignment issues without the need for traditional braces.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign works through a series of custom-made clear aligners that are worn over the teeth. These aligners gradually shift the teeth into the desired position as per the treatment plan designed by the orthodontist.

What dental issues can Invisalign address?

Invisalign can effectively treat various orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and mild to moderate misalignments.

How long does Invisalign care take?

On average, Invisalign care can last between 6 to 18 months, but this timeframe can differ based on the complexity of the alignment issues.

Is Invisalign treatment painful?

Invisalign treatment typically involves minimal discomfort compared to traditional braces. Patients might feel pressure or discomfort when starting a new set of aligners, but it is generally mild and temporary.

How often should I wear Invisalign aligners?

For the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.
Can I eat or drink while wearing Invisalign?
It’s recommended to remove Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent damage to the aligners. After eating or drinking, it’s essential to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back on.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

Clean the aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and water or a specialised Invisalign cleaning solution. Avoid using hot water, as it may deform the aligners.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Some people might experience temporary changes in speech initially, such as a slight lisp. However, most individuals adjust to speaking with Invisalign aligners within a few days to a week.

Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?

It’s best to consult with an orthodontist to determine if it’s the right treatment option based on your needs, but Invisalign can be suitable for all ages and many conditions.

Can I smoke or chew gum with Invisalign?

It’s recommended to avoid smoking or chewing gum while wearing aligners to prevent damage or staining.

Can I play sports or musical instruments with Invisalign?

Yes, Invisalign aligners can be worn during most activities and typically don’t interfere.
