The cost of Invisalign treatment will vary depending on the severity of your individual case.

Here at Central Orthodontics, we have instalment plans available to help you fund the cost of your treatment.
Invisalign is an invisible orthodontics technique that corrects the positioning of your teeth to work towards an improved smile. Special trays are custom made for your teeth from clear plastic, making them invisible during wear. Invisalign is suitable for patients of 15-years old and above and can be used to correct a variety of dental alignment issues.
You’ll also be able to get a perfect idea of how your Invisalign treatment will look through our iTero 3D Scanner, which can be used during the consultation/treatment period. This scanner will take a 3D image of your current teeth and show you how they will move during the course of your treatment to your desired position.
Ceramic braces use a tooth coloured material to attach the wire of the brace to the teeth. This makes the brackets of the brace white and appearance more discreet. This is the perfect treatment for any patient who is worried about the appearance of traditional braces during their treatment process. Ceramic braces are also ideal for patients who are not suitable for Invisalign aligners. It is important to note that due to ceramic brackets being more fragile, treatment time can be longer but the results are always worth waiting for.
Invisalign treatment consists of a series of removable, nearly invisible aligners that are changed every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth and your teeth only. As each aligner is replaced with the new one, your teeth will move week by week, little by little. This will continue until your desired alignment has been achieved. Your orthodontist will determine exactly how long your treatment will take based on your individual needs. The more severe your alignment issues are, the longer your treatment can take. On average, Invisalign treatment time is 12 to 18 months, though you should usually start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
Over 4 million people worldwide have opted for Invisalign treatment and have been amazed by the results. Invisalign aligners are known for discreetly straightening your teeth. More convenient than traditional braces, Invisalign aligners don’t include the food restrictions that some traditional teeth-straightening methods can, as they can be removed. Depending on the severity of your alignment issues, you can achieve a beautifully straight smile in 12 months – sometimes sooner! Usually, patients notice their teeth beginning to move to the position of their desired result in just a few weeks.
It can be difficult to decide which teeth straightening treatment to choose from. Invisalign aligners pose many benefits compared to traditional braces such as appearance, convenience and comfort. Invisalign aligners can be removed, meaning there are no food restrictions and teeth can be fully accessed during brushing. There are also fewer consultations required. However, Invisalign patients need to be disciplined and remember to change their aligners when required and put them back in once they have been removed.

Invisalign treatments use clear plastic aligners. These aligners are customised individually to each patient’s teeth after completing a 3D scan of their mouth and teeth. These aligners will move your teeth in small steps until you have achieved your desired position. Aligners should be changed every few weeks to a new fitting.

What Are Invisalign Aligners Made of and What Do They Look Like?
Invisalign aligners are made of flexible plastic. This is a specific type of plastic called SmartTrack® specifically designed for Invisalign treatments. Aligners are clear and barely noticeable during wear.
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them virtually unnoticeable during wear. There are now annoying metal brackets or wires that could break and lead to an emergency appointment. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss, eat and drink and on special occasions.
Am I Guaranteed To Have Straight Teeth With Invisalign Treatment?
Every smile is unique. Your Invisalign treatment will start with a consultation where your orthodontist will explain to you what Invisalign aligners can do for your smile. We cannot guarantee a particular treatment outcome. However, we encourage you to share your treatment goals with your orthodontist during your consultation. This will help them to decide whether Invisalign is a suitable treatment to achieve their goals.
How Will Invisalign Treatment Straighten My Teeth?
After your consultation, your orthodontist will create a unique treatment plan, mapping out the exact movements of your teeth. Invisalign aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan.
Who Is Invisalign Treatment For?
Invisalign treatment can work great for both adults and teens. Technological advancements make it possible to fix most teeth-straightening and bite issues.
What is the Invisalign Treatment Process?
Invisalign treatments start with a consultation. Your orthodontist will begin by evaluating your smile and mapping out a precise and customised treatment plan. Once you have approved your plan, your aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your orthodontist. Each set of new aligners will gradually and gently move your teeth into the position of your desired smile.
