The Invisalign system uses a series of almost invisible, removable aligners that are individually moulded to fit your teeth. By changing these aligners every two weeks, it is possible to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Invisalign is comfortable to wear and can be removed when you want to eat or drink, brush your teeth, or for special occasions.

If you're interested in Invisalign we have more info on our website - or get in touch to talk it through. We also have finance options available for those who may wish to spread the cost of their treatment.

Your oral health can also affect your overall wellbeing.

If you have been experiencing unexplained headaches, don’t suffer in silence – make an appointment to see if we can get to the root of the problem. We also offer a range of effective dental devices for patients who experience sleep apnoea.
