What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligner orthodontic therapy. Instead of metal brackets and wires, your teeth are moved using a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays. Each tray is slightly different from the last — worn for 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next — gradually shifting your teeth into alignment over months.
The aligners are made from a patented SmartTrack material that is smooth, BPA-free, and designed to apply precise controlled force to specific teeth at each stage of treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work — Step by Step?
Step 1 — Digital Scan
No messy impressions. We use an iTero digital scanner to create an exact 3D model of your teeth in minutes. This forms the basis of your treatment plan.
Step 2 — ClinCheck Preview
Using Invisalign's ClinCheck software, your specialist designs the full treatment digitally — and you get to see a simulation of your final result before a single tray is made. This is one of Invisalign's most compelling features: you see the outcome before committing.
Step 3 — Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your personalised series of aligners is manufactured at Invisalign's facility and delivered to the clinic — typically within 4–6 weeks.
Step 4 — Treatment
You wear each aligner for 20–22 hours per day (removing only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush). You progress through your series with check-up appointments every 6–8 weeks.
Step 5 — Retainers
Once treatment is complete, you wear retainers to maintain your results — just as with traditional braces.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign works excellently for most mild to moderate orthodontic cases:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate overbite or underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
Invisalign is not ideal for: severe bite issues requiring significant jaw movement, teeth that need to be rotated significantly, or patients who are unlikely to wear the aligners for 20–22 hours per day. Your orthodontist's honest assessment is critical here — and at Downtown Medical Clinics, we will tell you directly if traditional braces will give you better results for your specific case.
Maintaining Your Aligners
- Rinse aligners in lukewarm water when you remove them
- Clean with a soft toothbrush and clear soap — never toothpaste (it scratches)
- Always brush and floss before reinserting
- Store in the provided case when not wearing
- Avoid coloured drinks (coffee, tea, juices) while wearing — they stain the trays
