Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you've always dreamed of. Using our advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, we can create your complete treatment plan starting with your initial teeth position right through to the final position you would like your teeth to site in. We then make a series of clear aligners for your teeth to move them a little bit at a time. Each Invisalign aligner is worn for roughly two weeks before being replaced by the next one in your treatment plan. Your teeth will gradually move towards your desired final position. Your Invisalign treatment time will be set out once we have a chat to you and determine your treatment plan.

Invisalign aligners are almost invisible and they can fit seamlesslyinto your lifestyle. Invisalign are removable aligners which give you the flexibility to eat and drink whatever you like during treatment by easily removing the aligners. You can also remove the Invisalign aligners when brushing and flossing like you normally would to maintain good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional fixed braces, Invisalign does not have metal brackets or wires which means less time is spent at appointments for adjustments with Ace Braces.

Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you even start your treatment so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.

For some people, they may experience minor discomfort for a few days at the start of each new phase of treatment when they insert a new aligner. This is normal and has been described as a feeling of pressure. this is good as it's a sign that the aligners are working and your teeth are slowly moving. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.

Wearing a retainer after any orthodontic treatment is an important step, because it keeps teeth stable in their new positions. If you want your teeth to remain in their ideal position, it is best to wear a retainer as directed by Ace Braces. In many cases your last aligner will be your temporary retainer, until your retention option is determined. We can chat to you about your longer term retention options nearer the end of your treatment plan.

A number of Invisalign patients have undergone a previous treatment involving braces at some point in their past, often during their youth. Invisalign can usually correct the shifting that occurs after braces commonly referred to as relapse. Come along and have a chat to us for an initial consultation and we can see what type of braces would best suit your teeth.
