Invisalign
Love your smile with Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern and discreet way to achieve a straighter, more confident smile without the need for traditional fixed braces.
Using a series of custom-made, clear and removable aligners, Invisalign gently moves your teeth into their desired positions over time. The aligners are designed specifically for your smile and are virtually invisible, meaning you can straighten your teeth with minimal impact on your day-to-day life.
For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day and can easily be removed when eating, drinking and brushing your teeth.
Whether you're looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve your overall smile, Invisalign offers a comfortable and convenient way to transform your smile with confidence.
It can help with
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that have moved since braces
- Some bite problems
How it works
Your Invisalign journey starts with a free consultation, where we'll take a digital 3D scan of your teeth using our state-of-the-art scanner.
One of the most exciting parts is getting to see a preview of how your teeth could move and what your future smile could look like! Dr Theeps will take the time to understand your smile goals, explore what's achievable and talk you through a personalised treatment plan designed around you.

Questions people ask
How does Invisalign work?
Your Invisalign treatment is carefully planned digitally to determine how your teeth will gradually move into their desired positions. A series of custom-made aligners are then created to gently guide your teeth through each stage, using controlled pressure to achieve your new smile.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Every smile is different, so treatment times can vary depending on how much movement is needed and the complexity of your case. On average, Invisalign treatment takes around 6 to 18 months, although some patients can finish in as little as 3 months!
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
You may experience some mild discomfort or tightness, particularly when switching to a new set of aligners. This is completely normal and usually settles within a few days as your teeth adjust. If you have any concerns during treatment, Dr Theeps and the team will always be on hand to help.
Are there any food restrictions during Invisalign treatment?
One of the great benefits of Invisalign is that there are no food restrictions! As your aligners are removable, you can continue enjoying all your favourite foods throughout treatment.
How much does Invisalign cost and do you offer finance?
The cost of Invisalign varies from person to person, depending on the complexity of your case and the amount of tooth movement required. During your consultation, Dr Theeps will assess your smile and talk you through your personalised treatment plan and the associated costs.
We understand that investing in your smile is a big decision, which is why the practice offers 0% finance options to help make treatment more accessible. Our treatment co-ordinators will be happy to talk you through the available options and answer any questions you may have.
What are the advantages of Invisalign compared to fixed braces?
Invisalign is a very popular choice for many patients due to the benefits it offers. Some of the key benefits include:
- Discreet treatment: Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. You can work towards your dream smile without feeling self-conscious about wearing braces.
- Comfortable fit: Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth, with smooth edges designed for comfort. You won't have metal brackets or wires rubbing against your cheeks and lips. This also means you won't have issues associated with broken brackets or loose wires.
- Easier oral hygiene: As the aligners can be removed, you can brush and floss as normal without having to navigate around brackets and wires. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
- No food restrictions: Simply remove your aligners at mealtimes and enjoy your favourite foods!
- Fits around your lifestyle: Whether you're at work, socialising or enjoying a special occasion, Invisalign offers a flexible and convenient approach to teeth straightening.
- Fewer in-practice appointments: Invisalign treatment often allows for fewer routine visits compared to traditional braces.
- See your potential results: With digital treatment planning, you can preview how your teeth could move and get an idea of your potential smile before starting.
