Invisalign / Clear Aligners

Aligners / Invisalign

Invisalign and other aligner therapy is an orthodontic technique that utlises a series of clear aligners that gently move your teeth into a straighter position.

Aligners can be used to treat most orthodontic problems including irregular, crowded or spaced teeth as well as overbites, underbites and crossbites.

Dr. Carolyn is certified in the use of Invisalign as well as Spark and other clear aligner technologies.

Dr Carolyn's Pro-Tip: Lingual Braces

Image Description

Aligner therapy can work very well in most scenarios.

It is good to ensure that aligner therapy is the best treatment modality as treatment times can be longer than conventional braces.

Just like braces, aligners are most effective when used 24 hours per day; however, aligners must be removed when eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth.

Why should I see a professional for my aligners?

Seeing an orthodontist for your aligner therapy ensures:

  • That all your concerns are addressed
  • That your teeth and gum health is assessed and issues are managed appropriately
  • That your treatment focuses not only on aesthetics, but also function
