Invisalign is a system of removable clear aligners used to move teeth. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and bite to determine whether aligners are appropriate. Some cases require braces or specialist referral.
Aligners must be worn as prescribed and reviewed during treatment. They can affect speech temporarily and cause discomfort or mouth irritation. Treatment time and results vary, and refinements may be needed.
Ask about the total cost, reviews, retainers and possible additional fees. Alternatives include braces, monitoring or no treatment where appropriate. Cosmetic treatment is a personal choice.
Clear aligners may be used for some spacing, crowding and bite concerns. The suitability and complexity of tooth movement require an individual assessment. Your dentist can explain the limitations and whether specialist advice is needed.
For selected limited tooth movements; suitability requires assessment.
Ask which aligner plan and reviews are appropriate for your needs.
The number of aligners and any refinements depend on your treatment plan.
Discuss treatment scope, duration and limitations with your dentist.
Invisalign Express is designed for selected patients with relatively minor orthodontic concerns, such as mild spacing, crowding or orthodontic relapse. It uses a limited number of clear aligners to gradually move the teeth according to an individually planned treatment approach.
Treatment duration varies depending on individual needs, tooth movement and clinical factors. A dental assessment is required to determine whether Invisalign Express is a suitable option.
Invisalign Lite uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth according to an individually planned treatment approach. It may be considered for selected patients with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing and certain alignment issues.
Treatment duration and the number of aligners required vary depending on individual orthodontic needs and tooth movement. A clinical assessment is required to determine whether Invisalign Lite is suitable for you.
Invisalign Moderate uses a series of clear, removable aligners and may be suitable for patients with moderate orthodontic concerns, including certain spacing, crowding and alignment issues.
The number of aligners and overall treatment duration will depend on the individual’s orthodontic needs, treatment plan and response to tooth movement. A clinical assessment is required to determine whether Invisalign Moderate is an appropriate treatment option.
Invisalign Comprehensive is designed to provide flexibility in managing a broader range of orthodontic concerns. It may be considered for patients with more complex alignment needs, including crowding, spacing and certain bite concerns.
The number of aligners, treatment stages and overall treatment duration vary depending on the individual’s orthodontic needs and response to treatment. A clinical assessment is required to determine whether Invisalign Comprehensive is a suitable treatment option.
The questions below cover clear aligner treatment costs, timelines, daily wear and care. Your dentist will discuss whether clear aligners are suitable for you and explain the expected benefits, risks, limitations and alternatives.
Aligners apply controlled forces to move teeth over time. Your dentist prescribes how long to wear each set and when to change it. Attend reviews and follow cleaning and wear instructions.
Aligners are removable and less conspicuous than some fixed appliances, but they are not invisible or suitable for every case. They need consistent wear and can affect speech or cause irritation. A digital simulation is a planning aid and does not guarantee the outcome.
Pressure or soreness can occur when starting or changing aligners. Contact your dentist about significant or persistent pain, poor fit or mouth injury. Other risks include decay, gum problems, root changes and incomplete tooth movement.
Orthodontic costs depend on treatment complexity, duration and the appliance used. An assessment is needed before an individual quote can be provided. Ask about reviews, refinements and retainers.
Please contact the team about accepted payment methods and current arrangements. Ask for the total treatment estimate, payment schedule and any deposit or cancellation terms before committing.
Retainers are needed after orthodontic treatment. Ask whether they are included in your estimate and about the costs of replacement or repair. Follow your dentist’s recommended wear schedule.
The suitable aligner plan depends on your assessment. Ask about the number of aligners, review visits, refinements and retainers included in the estimate, together with any limitations or extra fees.
