Invisalign treatment is a popular and discreet alternative to traditional braces. Most people won’t be able to tell you are wearing the aligners. Another benefit is that you can remove them to brush your teeth or attend a special occasion.

How Does It Work?

You’ll get a straighter smile with Invisalign by gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position. Hoppers Crossing Dental will send you home with several trays at a time, so you can change them out on your own, every two weeks. Invisalign treatment is the perfect option for busy people!

Benefits of Invisalign

Our patients love the added benefits that these “invisible” braces have to offer.

  • Remove them and enjoy all your favourite foods.
  • Easier home care (brushing and flossing)
  • Fewer, shorter trips to the dentist
  • Clear orthodontics that are easily unnoticeable

Our highly skilled and experienced owner, Dr Nitsopoulos (Dentist), has been providing orthodontic treatment since 1992. He holds certificates in orthodontics and Invisalign treatment. Instead of wearing conventional brackets and wires, you can have Dr Nitsopoulos align your teeth with the clear Invisalign system. “They snap right over your teeth and are perfect for people who are hesitant about traditional orthodontic treatment,” he said.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using either an impression technique or advanced 3D technology, we will take a quick and precise scan of your teeth, and then create a custom-crafted treatment plan. Customised aligners will be fabricated for each stage. Simply change your aligners every two weeks to help your teeth gradually move.

Just as each patient is different, so is Invisalign treatment. The average time, however, is between 12-14 months, but it can range from six months to two years.

Your aligners are crafted from medical-grade, non-toxic plastic. They have a smooth and practically invisible appearance.

Once your treatment has started, it’s necessary to schedule regular appointments with your dentist. These visits typically occur every 6-8 weeks.
