Available treatments


More than 1,000,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign and the number of Invisalign smiles grows daily.
The Invisalign® system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you've always dreamed of. Using advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan, 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 about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, until the final position of your teeth is achieved. Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your doctor, based on your specific needs.

Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your
teeth into place. And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth
only, with a plan devised by you and your dentist or orthodontist, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other works as effortlessly as the Invisalign system.
Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life. Check out the benefits below:
- Customised : Precise impressions will be taken and then the aligners will be customised to your teeth.
- Effective : Even before your invisalign treatment is finished your teeth alignment will improve and you'll begin enjoying the benefits of a better smile
- Removability : You can remove Invisalign aligners to eat, drink, brush and floss or for special occasions.
- Comfort : With Invisalign, the edges are smooth so they won't irritate your gums or cheeks.
- Clarity : Invisalign is virtually invisible so hardly anyone will even know you're straightening your teeth.

You no longer have to straighten your teeth the old-fashioned way, with metal braces. The Invisalign Teen™ system lets you do it the modern, hygienic way. Your new smile is created with the most innovative technology – a series of clear aligners that are custom-fit to your teeth. The first thing you should know is that an average treatment takes about a year.1 Plus your treatment can begin even if you don't have all of your permanent teeth. Invisalign Teen was designed to meet your needs.
The Aligners
• snap on your teeth easily.
• are comfortable and practically invisible.
• allow for your growing permanent teeth.
• gently and continuously move your teeth in small increments.
• are worn for about two weeks. Then you swap them for a new pair.
• have a Blue Dot Wear Indicator, designed to show an estimation of wear-time.
The dot is designed to fade to clear over a two-week period if you wear (20 to 22 hours everyday) your aligners properly.
• can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, or going to a special event.
• are replaceable if lost. That's right, you get up to six free individual aligners.2
Here's a quick look at the main steps of your treatment:

Those pictures and impressions are digitised. Then,we can use the 3D renderings to precisely plan your tooth movements from the beginning to the end of your treatment, in order to fix your orthodontic issue(s).
Based on the precise treatment plan, aligners will be made to custom-fit your teeth. The number of aligners changes for each person.
You'll wear your aligners about 20 to 22 hours everyday, except to eat, brush, and floss, or go to a special event. Approximately every two weeks, you'll swap your old aligners for new ones.
The aligners will gently and continuously move your teeth until they are in their final prescribed position, all without the usual hassle of metal braces.

Ordinary braces use elastic bands to hold the archwire in your braces. These bands can cause friction, which can slow down treatment time. This is like driving your car with the hand-brake on. These bands can also discolor and attract plaque. Innovative 3M technology makes these braces "self-ligating" and do not require your orthodontist to use elastic bands. Instead, 3M self-ligating braces use a unique clip to hold the wire in place. This clip is made from temperature-sensitive Nitinol material and is available only from 3M.

The SmartClip™ SL3 Self-Ligating Appliance System gives you an enhanced system that features an evolved third generation clip, improved self-ligating molar brackets and additional prescriptions for the results you expect.

Compared to earlier versions, the advanced SL3 clip on SmartClip™ SL3 Brackets noticeably reduces wire insertion and removal forces required for large wires, making it a much more comfortable experience, while the improved Molar Brackets now have small low profile tie-wings which can accommodate steel ligatures or traditional ligature modules if needed during treatment.

Clarity braces accomplish your orthodontic treatment just like metal braces, though with Clarity braces, "They'll notice everything but your braces."
Clarity™ Ceramic Braces may be used whenever metal braces are appropriate for treatment, and they’re safe enough to wear even if you participate in sports, and while Clarity braces are strong like metal, they come off easily at the end of treatment.

Clarity aesthetic braces are the clear alternative to metal braces, presenting an attractive translucent appearance and comfortable design gives you all the self-confidence you need to face each day with a smile.
You'll be noticed but your braces won't. You'll feel better about yourself knowing that the natural beauty of your teeth is shining through, and not your braces. And, Clarity braces won't stain or discolor. They'll look as good the day they come off as they did the day you have them put them on.

The Damon System is not just a new product, it's a whole new way of treating patients.
Conventional treatment often requires removal of healthy teeth and/or the use of palatal expanders to make space. This approach is often uncomfortable, takes longer, and can leave a narrower arch and a flat profile. Damon smiles are full, natural 10-tooth smiles achieved with light biologically-sensible forces, and are specifically designed to improve the overall facial result of each patient.
It’s a combination of three key components, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results:
1. Damon passive self-ligating braces eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties". With Damon tie-less braces experience treatment without tightening.
2. Light high-technology shape-memory wires that move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
3. A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and enhances your facial aesthetics - usually without extractions / rapid palatal expanders.


Conventional braces on the left are tied in with elastics, which cause friction and pressure, making treatment slower and less comfortable.
Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.

Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.
