What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position.
These aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing, making them a discreet and convenient choice for achieving a straighter smile.
What can Invisalign® help with?

Gaps

What is the process of Invisalign®?
Consultation & assessment
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals and assess your teeth. Using advanced 3D imaging, we’ll create a digital model of your smile to map out your custom treatment plan.
Aligner fitting
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll receive your first set. We’ll guide you on how to wear and care for them, ensuring a comfortable and seamless fit.
Wearing your aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, changing to a new set every 1–2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift into place. Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Completion & retention
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your beautifully straight smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.
3D scanner for more precision
At Aura Dental, we’re all about making your Invisalign® journey as smooth and comfortable as possible – and that’s where the iTero scanner comes in. This clever piece of technology allows us to take detailed 3D scans of your teeth in just minutes, without the need for messy impressions or uncomfortable trays.
One of the best parts? You’ll get to see a digital preview of your new smile before treatment even begins! It’s exciting to watch your transformation take shape right in front of you. The iTero scanner also ensures your aligners are perfectly customised to your teeth, giving you a precise fit and predictable results.
With the iTero scanner, we can make sure your Invisalign® experience is efficient, accurate, and tailored completely to you. It’s all part of helping you achieve a smile you’ll love, every step of the way.
Treatment time varies but typically lasts between 6–18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
Invisalign® is ideal for most mild to moderate alignment issues. Severe cases may require alternative orthodontic treatments.
Invisalign® is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience slight pressure when switching to a new aligner, which is a sign that your teeth are moving.
Rinse your aligners daily with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material.
Contact us as soon as possible. In most cases, we can replace the lost aligner quickly or advise you on how to proceed with your current set.
