Discover the Brilliance of Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Because the aligners are almost invisible when worn, many people choose Invisalign® as a discreet alternative to traditional braces.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign® is flexibility. The aligners are removable, meaning you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth, and attend important events or occasions.
The Invisalign® system works by creating a sequence of aligners that guide your teeth into place over time. Each aligner is carefully designed to move your teeth slightly closer to their final position.
At Illume Dentistry, we use advanced iTero digital scanning technology to create highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums. This removes the need for messy impressions and allows us to create a digital preview of your future smile before treatment even begins.

Frequently asked questions about Invisalign®
Here are some answers to the questions we get asked most frequently about Invisalign® treatment.

It can help treat a range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites.
Your orthodontist will assess your teeth and confirm whether Invisalign® is the right treatment option for you.
How much does Invisalign® cost?
The cost of Invisalign® treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalised treatment plan along with clear pricing and finance options if you wish to spread the cost.
How quickly do teeth move with Invisalign®?
Most patients begin to see visible improvements within six to eight weeks. On average, Invisalign® treatment takes around twelve months, although the exact length of treatment depends on how complex the case is and how consistently the aligners are worn.
Can I wear Invisalign® aligners only at night?
No. Invisalign® aligners should be worn for around 20 to 22 hours each day to ensure your teeth move as planned. Wearing them less than this can slow down treatment and may affect the final results.
What are Invisalign® aligners made from?
Invisalign® aligners are made from a clear, medical-grade plastic designed to apply gentle pressure and gradually move teeth into their correct position. The material is smooth, comfortable and designed specifically for orthodontic treatment.
Does Invisalign® actually straighten teeth?
Yes. Invisalign® works by using a sequence of custom aligners that apply controlled pressure to move teeth gradually into their ideal position. This approach has been used successfully by orthodontists worldwide to treat a wide range of alignment issues.
Is Invisalign® worth it?
For many patients, Invisalign® is worth it because it improves both the appearance and function of their smile while remaining discreet and comfortable to wear.
Because the aligners are removable, they also allow patients to continue eating normally and maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
How long do Invisalign® retainers last?
Once your Invisalign® treatment is complete, retainers are used to maintain your new smile. With proper care, retainers can last several years, although they may need replacing over time due to natural wear.
Invisalign® vs braces – which is best?
If you’re considering straightening your teeth, you may be wondering whether Invisalign® or traditional braces are the better option. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires fixed to the teeth, while Invisalign® uses a series of removable clear aligners.
Both treatments are highly effective, but Invisalign® is often preferred by adults and older teenagers because it is discreet and removable. For some complex orthodontic cases, braces may still be recommended. During your consultation, we will explain the most suitable options based on your teeth and treatment goals.
Can Invisalign® straighten teeth without braces?
Yes. Invisalign® is specifically designed to straighten teeth without traditional braces by using a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually guide teeth into their ideal position.
