Invisalign®: Modern, Clear Orthodontic Treatment
Find a Clear Path to Your Best Smile in Durban
Treatment involves a series of aligners, with the first set aligning closely with your teeth’s current position and each subsequent set bringing you closer to a straight smile.
The aligners are worn for 20-22 hours a day and switched out every 1-2 weeks, depending on your progress. Over time, your teeth shift into the desired position.
For best results, you should only remove your aligners for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth, and be sure to clean them regularly.
Invisalign® is a great alternative to braces for patients of all ages, offering several benefits, including:
- Fewer Office Visits: You change the aligners at home and come in for occasional check-ups to monitor progress.
- Simple Oral Hygiene: The removable aligners make it easy to maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine.
- Discreet Appearance: The aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to feel confident during treatment.
- Effective & Efficient: Invisalign® can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, often in a shorter timeframe than traditional braces. You'll also be able to see a visual model of your future smile at your consultation.

Comprehensive Braces Options
The two major components of traditional metal braces are the brackets and the archwire. The brackets are small metal pieces that are adhered to each tooth and used to secure the archwire. The archwire is a flexible, thin wire connecting all the brackets.
Skilled dentists will modify the archwire throughout your treatment to apply continuous pressure and improve the alignment of your teeth.
If you are interested in treatment with braces, skilled dentists at our practice can provide optimal care and comfort. Contact us today to request your free consultation and learn if braces are the right choice for you!
Clear braces are a form of orthodontic treatment that use tooth-coloured brackets and bands instead of traditional metal components to reposition misaligned teeth.
This type of treatment is becoming increasingly popular, especially among adults who prefer the more subtle appearance of clear braces.
For those who want to keep their treatment discreet, clear braces are becoming a popular option among adult patients.
Teens today lead hectic lives. Between school, clubs, sports, and other social activities, it’s easy for both teens and parents to feel overwhelmed, especially during important life events. As a parent, it’s essential to support your child by helping them stay healthy and confident—especially regarding their oral health.
At our dental practice, our team strives to make orthodontic treatment as easy as possible for all our teenage patients. Using the latest orthodontic techniques, we develop personalized treatment plans that prioritize maximum comfort and convenience, ensuring that your treatment fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. By learning more about our innovative approach, you’ll see why we’re widely considered a top choice for teens.
If your teenager is concerned about the idea of braces, they may not always express any oral issues they experience. Some teens might even develop habits to hide their smiles if they feel self-conscious about certain aesthetic concerns. In either case, a few months of orthodontic treatment today can lead to a lifetime of confident smiles!
If your teenager is experiencing any of the following, an orthodontic examination may be needed:
- Crooked or overlapping teeth
- Large gaps between teeth
- Missing or crowded teeth
- Noticeable overbite or underbite
- Difficulty chewing, biting, or speaking
- Gaps between the top and bottom teeth while biting
- Speech issues
It’s Never Too Late for the Perfect Smile
If you’re an adult considering braces, there’s always time to achieve the perfect smile you’ve always wanted. Braces go beyond cosmetic concerns and can be beneficial for various reasons, including oral health, speech issues, and TMJ pain.
You may be surprised to learn that around 20 percent of orthodontic patients are over the age of 21.
At our dental practice, we understand the unique needs of our adult patients and work to provide comprehensive orthodontic care that meets their individual goals.
We offer different options to suit your orthodontic needs and utilize the most advanced technology to ensure comfort and efficiency throughout your treatment. If you are seeking orthodontic treatment as an adult, contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
