Discreet and gradual, clear aligners effectively improve teeth position for adults and teenagers who are conscious about the visibility of traditional braces.
This discreet orthodontic technique utilizes a set of personalized aligners designed to gently shift misaligned or crowded teeth into a more desirable alignment. By offering a less noticeable approach to teeth straightening, it is particularly well-suited for individuals, whether adults or teenagers, who may feel self-conscious about wearing highly visible braces.
One of the key advantages of these innovative aligners is their removability, allowing you to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without any hindrance. You can brush and floss your teeth as usual, enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions, and even remove the aligners for special events or occasions, providing you with flexibility and convenience throughout your orthodontic journey.
Using our scanning technology, we first take scans of your teeth to collect precise measurements for your custom aligners. We use special 3D technology to create a personalised plan, which shows how your teeth will move and also how they will look after treatment.
When the aligners are ready, you will wear a different one every two weeks until the carefully controlled force shifts your teeth to a better position. You may feel minor discomfort when a new aligner is fitted but this is usually just a feeling of pressure and a good indicator that the treatment is working.
Treatment times will vary depending on your individual issue, but most cases are completed in 6-12 months. As the aligners only work while you are actually wearing them, we recommend they are kept in place for 22–24 hours per day.

This will vary from individual to individual. It very much depends on factors such as a person’s age and lifestyle, the structure of the skin, and the degree of correction required.

We advise sticking to a soft diet, avoidance of alcohol and smoking, as well as no strenuous excercise in the first few days after surgery.
This will all be discussed with you at your visits.

The duration of the Dental Implant procedure varies depending on numerous factors, such as the number of implants placed, whether bone build up or soft tissue modification is needed, and the patient’s overall oral health. In general, the process involves multiple stages and can take several months to complete. You will be advised on time scale following completion of the planning stage.
