Key takeaways
- Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners.

- An iTero scan replaces messy impressions.
- You remove aligners to eat, brush and floss.
How it works
Each aligner moves your teeth a tiny amount. Every week or two you switch to the next set, until your teeth reach the planned position.
Who it suits
- Teens and adults with crowding or gaps.
- People who want a nearly invisible option.
- Patients with relapse after old braces.
- Many bite problems, assessed case by case.
Your journey
- Consultation and iTero 3D scan.
- Smile simulation of your expected result.
- Aligners made and fitted, with attachments if needed.
- Regular check-ups, then retainers.
Living with aligners
Wear them 20–22 hours a day, take them out to eat and drink anything except water, and brush before putting them back in.
