What is Invisalign? Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-moulded to fit your teeth.

What is Orthodontics? Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry concerned with the development and management of irregularities and abnormalities of the teeth, jaw and face. It is aimed to produce a great smile, as well as a healthy and functional bite, thus creating greater resistance to disease and improving personal appearance. Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment - there is no age limit. Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances can vary between one year for a simple case and 18-24 months for a more complicated case, during which you will need to be seen every 6-8 weeks to adjust your brace. At the end of active treatment, retainers will be fitted to maintain the teeth in their final position. Follow us on social media;
