Smile with Confidence
Whether you’re a teen or an adult, no one wants a mouth full of visible metal brackets. Clear braces and aligners allow you to smile with confidence. Modern professionals and young adults alike can attend work, school, parent meetings, and more. No more awkward looks and explanations about your teeth straightening dreams – you’ll be smiling brighter and straighter in no time!
Clear Aligners with Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners is an alternative and more aesthetic option to traditional braces. The devices are completely clear, making the Invisalign hard to notice when you smile. Every one-two weeks, you’ll receive a new set of aligners to adjust your teeth. Each set will adjust your teeth, getting you closer to a straighter smile. Our team recommends a check-in appointment every 6 to 8 weeks.
Unlike other methods, Invisalign sets are removable. You can brush your teeth, eat regularly, and participate in regular life with ease. At each visit, we’ll check to see how your teeth are doing and give you the next set of aligners to continue your journey. Throughout the process, we may take photos and X-rays to analyse the straightening of your teeth.
Short-Term Braces with SmileFast
With SmileFast braces, you can see an improvement in your smile in six to nine months. Traditional braces, on the other hand, can take up to three years.
Using advanced 3D imaging, we can show you exactly how your teeth will move during the process. Our trained dental professionals utilise computer-aided simulation and digital direct bonding to attach clear brackets to your teeth. The wires connecting the bracket are the same colour as your teeth, allowing you to smile without worry.
We recommend going with SmileFast if you have overcrowded or irregularly spaced teeth, but the procedure is mostly cosmetic. If you don’t have any jaw or gum issues that braces could help, SmileFast is the choice for you!
