Is Invisalign Right for You?

Clear Aligners That Work Around Your Life

Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners worn in sequence. Each set is worn for a set period before moving to the next, shifting your teeth gradually toward their final position.

Because the aligners come out for meals and your regular brushing and flossing routine, daily life stays largely the same during treatment. For adults who want meaningful results without the visibility or dietary restrictions of fixed braces, Invisalign is a well-established and practical option.

Service Benefits

Planned and Monitored In-House

Your entire Invisalign journey is planned and managed at our Headon office. From your initial scan through to your final result, you work with the same team and the same records throughout. There are no referrals, no outside providers, and no gaps in communication.

See Your Outcome Before You Commit

Using the 3D scanner, we map the full movement of your teeth from their current position to their projected final result and use the Invisalign Outcome Simulator to show you that result before treatment begins. You will have a clear, visual picture of where your smile is headed before a single aligner is made.

Designed for Everyday Comfort

Invisalign aligners are smooth, custom-fitted to your teeth, and trimmed to follow your gum line for a comfortable fit. Some patients notice mild pressure when transitioning to a new set, which is a normal part of the tooth movement process and typically resolves within a day or two. There are no wires to irritate soft tissue and no adjustment appointments that leave your mouth sore.

What Invisalign Treats

Invisalign is an effective treatment option for a range of common orthodontic concerns in adults.

Crowded Teeth

Crowding happens when there is not enough room in the jaw for all your teeth to sit properly. Beyond appearance, crowded teeth can be harder to clean and may wear unevenly over time. Invisalign creates space and guides teeth into better alignment.

Gaps Between Teeth

Gaps can develop for a number of reasons, including natural tooth size, jaw shape, or shifting after tooth loss. Invisalign closes these spaces gradually by moving teeth toward each other.

Overbite

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap too far over the lower front teeth. Invisalign corrects mild to moderate overbites by adjusting the position of the front teeth and improving how the upper and lower teeth come together.

Underbite

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth when biting down. Invisalign addresses mild to moderate cases by moving the lower teeth back into proper alignment with the upper arch.

Crossbite

A crossbite occurs when one or more upper teeth sit on the inside of the lower teeth rather than the outside. Invisalign moves the affected teeth into their correct positions, which also helps reduce uneven wear on those teeth over time.

Open Bite

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed. This can affect biting and chewing. Invisalign gradually brings the teeth into proper contact.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign works well for most adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. You are likely a strong candidate if:

  • You have crowding, spacing, or a bite concern you would like to address
  • You are comfortable wearing your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day
  • Your teeth and gums are in good general health before starting treatment
  • You would like to see your projected result before committing to treatment
  • You prefer a treatment approach with a clear timeline and documented progress at every stage

The best way to find out if Invisalign is right for you is to book a consultation: we will assess your teeth and bite, talk through your goals, and give you a straightforward recommendation.

What to expect

How Invisalign Works

Step one

Consultation and Assessment

Your dentist will take a close look at your teeth, gums, and bite, talk through what you would like to achieve, and let you know whether Invisalign is a good fit for your situation.

Step two

Digital Scan and Treatment Planning

We scan your teeth using the 3D scanner: no impressions or trays required. The scan is used to map the movement of each tooth from where it is now to where it needs to go. We then use the Invisalign Outcome Simulator to show you a preview of your expected final result.

Step three

Aligner Fabrication

Your treatment plan is sent to Invisalign, where your full series of custom aligners is made. When they arrive, you come in to collect them and we walk you through everything you need to know to get started.

Step four

Wearing Your Aligners

You wear each set of aligners for the prescribed period, usually one to two weeks, before moving to the next. Aligners need to be in for 20 to 22 hours a day to keep your treatment on track. They come out for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing and flossing.

Step five

Progress Reviews and Completion

You will come in for regular check-ins throughout your treatment so we can confirm everything is progressing as planned. Once your final aligner is complete, we assess your result and talk through retainer wear to keep your teeth in their new position going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign treatment take?
It depends on your individual case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Many adult treatments are completed within 12 to 18 months, though simpler cases can be shorter. We will give you a realistic estimate at your consultation.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
Aligners should be in for 20 to 22 hours each day. They come out for meals, drinks other than water, and your oral hygiene routine. The more consistently you wear them, the more predictably your treatment progresses.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight change in speech during the first few days of a new set of aligners. This is temporary and typically resolves quickly as you get used to them.
Is Invisalign painful?
Mild pressure when you start a new set of aligners is normal and reflects your teeth moving as planned. It usually settles within a day or two. Without brackets or wires, there is nothing to cause irritation to the soft tissues of your mouth.
Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?
Yes. You remove your aligners before eating and drinking anything other than water, so there are no food restrictions during treatment. Just rinse or brush before putting your aligners back in.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse them with water when you take them out and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic, and anything strongly coloured that could stain them.
What if I lose or damage an aligner?
Contact us as soon as you can. Depending on where you are in the series, we will either advise moving to the next set or arrange a replacement. Getting in touch quickly keeps any impact on your treatment timeline to a minimum.
Will I need a retainer after treatment?
Yes. Wearing a retainer after your aligner series is finished is an important part of keeping your result stable long term. Teeth naturally tend to shift over time, and a retainer keeps them in place. We will talk through your options and what to expect at the end of your treatment.
Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?
Some insurance plans include partial coverage for orthodontic treatment that may apply to Invisalign. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your provider ahead of your consultation. We are happy to help you work through your benefits when you come in.
How is Invisalign different from traditional braces?
Both treatments move teeth through controlled pressure, but the mechanics are different. Braces use fixed brackets and wires, while Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners. The right choice depends on your specific orthodontic needs, your lifestyle, and your goals. We will give you an honest assessment at your consultation.
