Back then, if you wanted a straighter tooth or to correct malocclusions, your only option was to wear metal braces. Obviously, those conscious about their appearance were not too fond of this limitation.

Today, it’s possible to get your teeth straightened, and no one would notice, thanks to Invisalign, a discreet orthodontic treatment that uses almost invisible aligners. The procedure is discreet and designed for comfort and can be used to correct a range of mild-to-moderate orthodontic conditions, including bite and alignment issues.

And this treatment is available to you, right here in Grey Lynn via All Smiles Dental, Auckland's leading orthodontic and restorative dentistry clinic.

Unlike regular braces that use wires, brackets, and bands to straighten teeth, the Invisalign system gradually positions your teeth into the desired position using tight-fitting yet comfortable plastic trays.

These trays are removable, transparent, and come as a series, with each set mapping a specific phase of the treatment plan. Each set is worn for at least two weeks before being replaced with another set until your treatment is complete.

Though Invisalign offers greater flexibility since it can be removed easily, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 22 hours every day for the best results, unless eating, drinking, flossing, or brushing.

Depending on the severity of your misalignment, Invisalign treatment can take as little as 6 months to be completed, unlike metal braces that have longer timelines.

According to Align Technology (the company behind Invisalign), over 15 million people have improved their smiles since Invisalign was introduced.

While All Smiles Dental has recorded many successes treating patients with Invisalign, the procedure may not be the right option for everyone, especially if you have severe malocclusion or you’re unable to commit to wearing the removable aligner for an extended period. In such cases, she may recommend metal braces or a hybrid solution.

Besides Invisalign, the practice offers other clear aligner treatments, like Fastbraces, Myobraces, ClearCorrect aligners, and Inman aligners, providing several options to meet your orthodontic needs.
