Invisalign is a way of aligning your teeth discreetly and comfortably. Made to move your life. Not disrupt it!
Start your journey
Each patient has a consultation with Dr. Selvan Govender. Here, you relax and discuss what you would like changed about your smile. As a matter of fact, no adjustment is too small!
After the initial consultation, you are invited back to our practice. Furthermore, we scan your teeth using the latest technology. It is simple and pain-free! The number of necessary aligners is personal to each patient. It all depends on the complexity of the case! Here is a more detailed explanation of how Invisalign actually works.
Upon receiving your aligners, we book you in to have them fitted. In addition, we add small attachments to some teeth. However, their positioning, once again, is unique to each patient. We place the small attachments on your teeth using a composite. This is ‘tooth-coloured’ and therefore not visible.
From here, we show you how to wear the aligners. In addition, how to keep your teeth and the aligners clean and healthy.
You are given your aligners box and cleaning crystals with instructions. Moreover, we schedule regular appointments to ensure your happiness with your smile’s progress.
How to use Invisalign
Keep each aligner in for 22 hours per day.
- Take aligner out at meal times. Therefore, acidity from food and drink does not stay in the aligners and around the teeth.
- Clean your aligners gently while tooth brushing. Use your toothbrush and cold water. Hot water warps the shape of your aligners, so please try to stay care.
If needed, cleansing tablets deep clean your aligners.
