Is Invisalign Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions to find out if clear aligner treatment could work for your smile. It takes about two minutes, and our team will follow up with next steps.
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.

How Invisalign Works
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
