INVISALIGN
The latest in orthodontic technology, these plastic aligners are transparent and are therefore “invisible” when worn by the patient. This system is especially popular with discerning adults. Unlike braces which are fixed to the teeth, Invisalign is removable; hence, the patient can still continue with normal brushing and flossing. Also, this system allows the patient to enjoy whatever food they want. Invisalign is made up of a smooth, comfortable plastic instead of metal, thus ulcers and mouth sores are less likely to develop. Visits to the doctor are scheduled every two months, so this system is much appreciated by working adult patients who have a busy schedule.
HOW INVISALIGN IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ALIGNERS BRANDS
Invisalign was the first clear aligner brand in the market and their technology draws from 12 million cases and the data collected from these cases. They have a world class research team in multiple locations throughout the world that is constantly seeking to innovate and improve so that patients can expect clear aligners technology that is at the forefront of this field. In fact, with their patented SmartTrack plastic and technology, results have become more predictable compared with the original plastic. Today, Invisalign is synonymous with clear aligner treatment and is the most recognisable brand internationally.
WHY CHOOSE INVISALIGN?
There are hundreds of reasons to choose Invisalign:

People won’t notice you are in treatment.

There are fewer limitations when it comes to eating
-
Invisalign is more comfortable – no poky metal ties
-
Brushing and flossing your teeth is easier
-
Potentially fewer dentist visits – you are only required to come every 2 months
TYPES OF OCCLUSIONS THAT IT CAN TREAT
Aside from being comfortable and virtually invisible, Invisalign is proven to provide an effective solution for a wide range of teeth alignment issues. With Dr Vaz’s several years of experience in Invisalign treatment, he has successfully treated hundreds of patients with different cases and dental needs. Invisalign can be used to correct several malocclusions.
EXCESSIVE SPACING
When the size of the jaws are too large proportionally speaking to the size of the teeth, spaces will start to to open up between the teeth. Invisalign can help to close these spaces.
SEVERELY CROWDED TEETH
Severely crowded teeth can be aligned with Invisalign and can perfect the malocclusion.
CROSSBITE
Crossbite can be corrected to improve chewing ability.
UNDERBITE
Lower teeth protruding further than the upper front teeth can be brought back with Invisalign.
OPENBITE
Invisalign can help to close the visible space between the upper and lower front teeth.
OVERBITE
The upper front teeth can be retracted to achieve an ideal bite.

OTHER TYPES OF BRACES THAT WE OFFER
METAL BRACES
Braces have evolved significantly over the years, and modern metal braces are now smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before. While many people still believe that metal braces are bulky or unattractive, advancements in orthodontic technology have made them more efficient and aesthetically pleasing. Traditional metal braces use small, durable brackets bonded to your teeth, connected by a metal wire that aligns your teeth over time.
Braces effectively treat crowded teeth, crooked teeth, jaw alignment issues, and bite problems, while also providing additional benefits such as preventing tooth decay by improving oral hygiene, boosting confidence with a straighter smile, and enhancing self-esteem. With braces, you can achieve the healthy, radiant smile you’ve always wanted.
CERAMIC BRACES
Ceramic braces, also known as tooth-colored braces, are an excellent option for those seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution. Designed to match the natural color of your teeth, ceramic braces blend seamlessly, making them nearly invisible to the casual onlooker.
They are ideal for individuals who require comprehensive orthodontic treatment and may not qualify for Invisalign, as well as those who want to maintain confidence and avoid the noticeable “metal” look of traditional braces.
Offering fast and effective results, ceramic braces provide a perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality, making them an attractive choice for achieving a straighter, healthier smile.
FRICTIONLESS SYSTEMS
Frictionless braces are an advanced orthodontic system designed to straighten teeth more quickly than traditional braces, making them an ideal solution for crowded or misaligned teeth. These systems work by reducing frictional forces during tooth movement, allowing teeth to shift efficiently with minimal resistance.
Research has shown that the lower forces required to move teeth with frictionless braces significantly reduce discomfort, meaning patients experience less pain during their orthodontic treatment.
