Are you fed up with having unaligned teeth? Do you want straighter teeth, but without wearing metal braces?
Invisible braces are a great way to achieve amazing results without the need to wear ‘train track’ and painful braces. Invisible braces are clear so no one knows you’re wearing them and some are even removable!
Invisible braces are often a favourable option for adults who have professional careers and don’t feel comfortable wearing unsightly ‘train track’ braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases.
Benefits of this type of treatment include having teeth straightened in a generally shortened period of time, straighter teeth and alignment of your top and bottom jaws. You can also enjoy the flexibility of your braces being hidden from an untrained eye, making you feel less self-conscious when socialising or speaking in public. With removable devices, you can also take them out to eat or for special occasions, so they fit your lifestyle.
It is important to remember that straighter teeth are healthier teeth. When your bite is properly aligned and your teeth are straightened, there are fewer gaps and areas for food to get trapped and plaque to build upon the teeth, causing decay.
In that sense, invisible orthodontics is a long-term investment in your oral health. Invisible braces are a great way to get straighter teeth.

The Inman Aligner is a simple removable appliance used to align front teeth quickly and safely. It’s ideal as a stand-alone treatment or to pre-align teeth prior to further cosmetic options such as bonding or minimal veneers.
The Inman Aligner has Nickel Titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly.
Most cases are completed within 6-18 weeks. Your Inman Aligner dentist will give you a realistic guide to what to expect. For suitable cases, the Inman Aligner is usually much faster than alternative orthodontic techniques.
Invisalign braces are custom-made using ‘transparent polycrystalline alumina’ – a smooth, transparent material developed by none other than NASA. The aligners work by placing gentle sustained pressure on specific teeth, moving them little-by-little into their new position.
To get the best results from your Invisalign treatment, you should wear your aligners for between 20 and 22 hours a day; giving you plenty of time each day to take your aligners out for eating, drinking and brushing.
