How does Invisalign work?
The clear aligners are specially fabricated to fit your teeth exactly, and over time, they move your teeth into a position that gives you a natural-looking, straight smile. The system utilizes the latest in computerized technology and three-dimensional modeling to generate a series of clear, see-through aligners or "clear braces". They are virtually unnoticeable, and are often referred to by many patients as "invisible braces". You wear your aligners for 22 hours a day and you change them approximately every two weeks.

Can Invisalign be used for all orthodontic cases?
During your consultation, our orthodontist will be able to tell you if you are suitable for Invisalign. For severe orthodontic cases, Invisalign may not be appropriate. However, for the majority of crooked teeth problems, including overbites, underbites, crowding, crossbites and gaps between your teeth, Invisalign works very well.

Why is Invisalign better than metal braces?

• Convenience - this is probably one of the greatest advantages over traditional wire braces. Invisalign makes maintaining a good oral hygiene program much easier because they can be removed especially when you eat. With wire braces, cleaning your teeth is much more difficult and this could lead to problems with bad breath, gum disease and tooth decay in the future.
• Discreet - the aligners are virtually invisible to anyone, so hardly anyone will even notice that you are having treatment. This is very encouraging to adults as it won't cause any disruption in their lifestyle.
Comfort - metal braces are usually more painful and can cause irritation and inflammation of the gums and soft tissue. Although there may be slight discomfort when you start wearing Invisalign aligners, in general, most users find them very comfortable.

Will it fit my life?
There are no metal wires or brackets, so no need to worry about mouth irritations, as the aligners are comfortable to wear and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing as normal or for any event meeting. Therefore, The Invisalign treatment can slot simply and easily into your daily routine, without any fuss or embarrassment.

Ceramic Clear Braces

Keep Smiling -- During and After Orthodontic Treatment!
Ceramic Braces work like metal braces, only better! They blend with the color of the teeth for a much less noticeable appearance. So, if you would prefer an almost-invisible orthodontic option to correct the alignment of your teeth, you might find ceramic braces the treatment of choice.

Created from composite materials to blend in with the color of your teeth, they are very much less discernible than the metal braces.

What are the benefits of clear or ceramic braces?
Appearance: Ceramic braces and clear braces are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Clear and ceramic braces offer an aesthetic alternative for patients seeking options other than traditional metal braces especially adults and some teenagers.
Confidence: Many patients who choose ceramic or clear braces feel more confident about their orthodontic treatment, especially knowing that people are focusing on their smiles rather than their braces. Because ceramic braces are less obvious, you will not feel as rushed to complete the treatment thus resulting in a better and more pleasing result.

How do clear or ceramic braces work?
Clear braces function the same way as metal braces. Like all related orthodontic devices, ceramic braces have multiple benefits: they straighten misaligned teeth and bring imbalanced jaws into correct alignment, and they raise the level of your oral well-being: without correction, crowded and cooked teeth can be difficult to clean properly, leading to periodontal disease. Additionally, when your teeth and jaws are poorly aligned, the extra effort required to chew your food may strain your muscles and tendons, causing long-term pain.
