Invisalign.

Have you always wanted straighter teeth and a beautiful smile you love? Invisalign clear aligner treatment may be exactly what you are looking for.

Invisalign is a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth, improve the way your teeth bite together and achieve a healthy smile you can be proud of.

Invisalign can transform your smile and help you feel more confident. From correcting crowded, crooked teeth to closing gaps between your teeth.  Invisalign is a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces.  It has proven to be as effective as braces and uses a series of clear, comfortable and removeable aligners to gradually and predictably move your teeth into their desired position.  Each aligner is custom-made to suit your specific needs and the treatment is almost unnoticeable as you go about your daily life.

Invisalign uses advanced 3D software, to allow you to visualise the end results of treatment before you even start.  With modern technology and clear treatment timelines, it's easy to see why Invisalign has become a popular option for patients wanting to straighten their smile.

Invisalign was introduced into New Zealand in 2005 and Anna was one of the first Dentists to undergo the specialised training to become an Invisalign provider while she worked in private practice in Wellingtons’ CBD.  Anna has helped numerous patients achieve the healthy, beautiful smile they have always wanted through Invisalign treatment.  

With a free consult and interest free finance available there has never been a better time to try Invisalign.

Is Invisalign Right For Me?

Invisalign can help people who have:

• Overcrowded teeth

• Rotated or crooked teeth

• Gaps between their teeth

• An overbite

• An underbite or crossbite

Invisalign is ideal for people looking for a virtually invisible and comfortable alternative to braces. Invisalign’s clear aligner system has helped straighten millions of smiles worldwide. 

There is no official minimum age limit for Invisalign treatment, however we suggest parents and patients consider that the Invisalign aligners need to be worn for 22 hours per day for treatment to be as effective as possible in the shortest period of time.

How does it work ?

Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign allows the patient to visualise the end result before treatment even starts. A series of custom made removable mouth trays (aligners) are then created. These aligners apply a controlled amount of force to your teeth, causing them to gradually move. Each aligner is slightly different, slowly moving your teeth into their new, desired position. Generally each aligner is initially worn for around 2 weeks but this period may be shorter depending on treatment complexity and patient compliance (wearing each aligner for more than 22 hours per day).

Invisalign is completely removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment and maintain your oral health with normal brushing and flossing. With no metal or sharp edges, Invisalign is comfortable to wear and doesn’t cause allergies.

How long will Invisalign take to work?

Invisalign provides different levels of treatment depending on the difficulty of the treatment required.  From: 

• ‘Invisalign Express’, for very simple tooth movements which may take as little as 14 weeks, 

• ‘Invisalign Lite’ and then ‘Moderate’, where treatment is usually finished within 6-12 months. 

• ‘Invisalign comprehensive’ treatment for complex cases.  The average treatment time is usually 12-18 months for these patients.

• Invisalign also offers ‘Invisalign teen’ and treatment time varies depending on the patients needs and desired outcomes. 

For treatment to progress as planned the aligners need to be worn for a minimum of 21 hours per day.
